Some twitter posts you have to hover your mouse over the post to see the retweet button. Click on 'retweet' and that should retweet the post with your details to enter you in the comp.

Good luck with your tweeting.

Hi Gilla, thanks for ure reply! there is no retweet option on my post, hmmm, maybe i did somat wrong from the start? ive retweeted someone elses post incase, not sure if thats rude or owt, unsure of twitter ettiquette!

as for the goodluck, thankyou, i need it! this twitter thing is a lil weird all those #, no idea wot thats all about!:o

As a rule you shouldn't RT someone elses tweet. If it's a single entry comp you could disqualify them. Normally you need to RT the original tweet.
For this competition, you only need to click on the 'tweet to win' button on the comp page. Due to the wonderfulness of the internet this isn't visible in IE but the large rectangle above the comp text still clicks.

just a heads up if anyone else is new to this twitter lark, i thought id entered a comp earlier, but it turns out i hadnt, as it looks like it matters if you forget to capitalise!(unless i did another thing wrong!) doh!

RT won't matter on someone elses tweet in this one...only when it's one tweet per comp.

IT's worth saying that you can't tweet the same thing twice ...twitter won't let you. Also, if you tweet too often you get a ban...twitter jail.

This comp is like many other twitter ones, not thought out at all. They should know the rules at T3 and not run it this way.

Modify the original tweet slightly, make sure the important stuff is in there still, any #tags or @t3.com type stuff....just things like "I want to win" can become "I want 2 win" etc. to allow another tweet...or if there's enough room, add please or the date or something to make it unique. You can repeat a tweet after a decent time gap but it's hard to know that exact time. 4 hours seemed OK last I tried.
