Oh, we’re close. These are the final ‘How To’ articles from my silly little contest for $100 bucks. Again, thanks to all who entered by writing a ‘How To’ article on their blog. I hope everybody had some fun writing them.

Some of these articles made me laugh. Some of them made me cry. And one of them made me do a cartwheel in my living room, though I’m not sure why. Which ones did which? Well, I’m going to leave that to your imagination.

So, without further ado (man I love that expression and again, I’m not sure why), here’s the final round of links:

• Alice of WooHooInWonderland (Woohoo being another favorite word of mine) contributed this quicky, in true How2Blogger fashion: How To Enter How2Blogger’s Contest.
• Erz of Blogodise gives us some ideas on How To Hold A Successful Blog Contest.
• BlogContestCentral wrote a great little ‘how to’ on running successful comment contests in their post: How To Run A Blog Comment Contest Successfully.
• JustMyLuck wrote How To Survive Without Internet Connection, so hopefully you read this before your connection goes out, because if it does go out and you haven’t read it, well, then you’re really sh!t out of luck. I’m not exactly sure why I just wrote sh!t like that - it’s not like I have a filter on here that I have to get around like on Yahoo! spades. Some people are just really creative when it comes to getting around those profanity blockers - it always makes me smile when I see a good cuss word written out creatively and thoughtfully
• Valmg of “I Know EVERYTHING - just ask my hubby” (I love it lol) writes about How To Make White Rice. There’s a great comment in the comments section about how rice makers don’t always come with instructions. It’s funny because it’s true. Seriously.
• Leslie Ann of Rant and Rave! wrote about How To Choose A Topic For Your Blog. A great article for anybody that’s reading this who isn’t a blogger, but thinking about giving it a shot. Good luck.
• RampantHeart gives us an article which I’m not really sure what to say about, though it is classic, seriously: How To Lose A Guy In 5 Days (a.k.a. How to act real smart before your beau acts smart). Awesome.
• Zang of My Consoling Asylum wrote How To Use Genie’s 3 Wish Grants Wisely For The New Year. Just in case you find that lamp in the next couple of days you’ll know what to do.
• Lance wrote How To Be The Worst Hacker In The World which I loved because I love posts with screenshots of online conversations. For some reasons these always seem to make me laugh.

Now we just gotta pick a winner.

Note: Double checking the entries I realized I should probably link to the contest blogs that blogged about the contest as well. Thanks guys!

We’re back with another edition of How2Blogger’s ‘How To‘ links and no, it’s not because we’ve been out all day running errands and fighting crowds and traffic and are now too tired to even make macaroni and cheese. No, it’s simply because occasionally How2Blogger enjoys letting other blogger’s do his ‘How To’ work for him. Duh.

So, here’s Vol. 2 of How2Blogger’s ‘How To’ links.

• Beth of AFrogToKiss starts us off with her article 10 Ways How To Make It Through A Head Cold. Unfortunately for her but good for you, she’s writing and taking part in the germ warfare first hand.

• Shifting gears towards some holiday themed ‘how to’ advice, Amy of Geek Parenting shows us How To Shop For Your Oddball Child. This is good for all you parents of oddball children, us parents with ‘normal’ kids can check out the next one.

• Wendy of EMomsAtHome gives us How To Teach Your Kids About Business With 14 Educational Games. If I start now I figure in about 5 years I’m going to have the first successful 7 year old internet marketing guru blogger surely to rival Mr Chow.

• Photojojo shows everyone How To Make Your Own Photo Snow Globe (In 15 Minutes!). Now I don’t know about you, but this solves a very big problem for me. For all those people on my list that I hadn’t decided on a gift for yet - I hope you like snow globes…

If you’d like to be included in a future How2Blogger ‘How To’ Links update - let me know!

Occasionally How2Blogger needs a break from writing his ‘How To’ guides and lets other bloggers do his work for him. So, for this weekend’s ‘How To’ links I leave you with these:

• Romance Tracker’s “How To Say ‘I Love You’ For The First Time” (Personally How2Blogger prefers to write it on a cake - that way if they don’t take it well you can just say it was an extra cake made for another sucker that you got for a discount at the cake store).
• My Sister’s Kitchen’s “How To Roast A Turkey” - Just in time! Now I just need to figure out to pluck a turkey. I can’t get him to stop snapping at me.
• Ftrain’s “How To Vacuum Your Lungs” - Yeah, I’m not really sure either, that’s why I clicked on it.
• All The Funny’s “How To Catch A Cheating Partner” - This one comes after you say ‘I love you’ for the first time.
• Wakish’s “How To Write Good English” - When I started reading this post, I wasn’t sure if he was serious or joking around - but after reading this line:

Despite the fact that there is no governing bodies of linguists to gauge its exact meaning, we do have a standard set by the authorities indulged in linguistics…I’m trying my best to produce some good articles since my aim, as i said in my ‘About section’, is to make you say ‘Wondeful‘ by bringing decent piece of work written by me.

I see that he is very serious.

So, I hope you’ve learned something today and I hope you say “Wondeful” by bring decent piece of work written by me.
