Lynneth, i read the rules as yes you can share comps from individual competition pages, but you can't promote your own site.

I seem to fall between the cracks.

I have a blog

I find & post on that blog comps from other blogs, Rafflecopters, Comment Comps, Gleam widgets that I search & find myself

None of the comps are run by myself.

Yet I can't share my blog here

Because in doing so will mean you are promoting your blog

But I have nothing to gain from sharing my blog.

I understand bloggers who post comps want to get their blog views up so they get picked for more products to review & keep plus more company's will offer products for comps.

But I don't do any of that. None of my own comps & no products tested.

It makes no difference to me if one person follows me or one million & one person follows me

I have no flashy ads to gain income from either

All I get is knowing more people can enter the comps I find

So that's why i don't understand

Then why get so worked up about it? the rules exist for a reason. it's not worth the hassle debating it on here. what I don't get is why we would need a blog that is basically a smaller mse. If I find a comp I post it here and there is more than enough on here to keep me busy. I don't mean to sound harsh it's just I don't understand why you don't just post the comps on here? and if you do then why the blog?
