Well, I only had comments from 7 people on my blog. But when I was checking the FirstBook blog comments at the point where there were 554 comments, I was definitely responsible for 56 of the comments and possibly more who may not have linked their sites and only put first names.
I decided to do the donation piggyback on my own site a little later than when I had originally posted just the First Book Disney link on several sites. So, keeping with the spirit of Christmas giving, I gave $2.50 for every comment I was responsible for on the First Book blog. Then I secured funds from an anonymous donor that just about matched my donation and ended up being able to donate enough for First Book to get 200 books!
It was a really nice way to give to others during the holiday season. I am sad that more people didn’t find out about the promotion since Disney was willing to give up to 250,000 books and the final count was 705 comments. But, I do know that I did my part and was responsible for at least 8% of those comments getting posted with lots of help from others who spread the word on after I told them.
Thanks to everyone who left a comment and/or spread the word! I think this effort was the best part of my Christmas.
