Win with the chocolate log blog

At present there is a lovely competition on the Chocolate Log Blog giving you a chance to win a gorgeous box of chocolates or one of three tasting boxes. The competition closes on June 17th and you enter using the Rafflecopter widget on the page.

I will soon be writing a post about entering competitions with Rafflecopter - it's a great way for bloggers to run competitions, as they can collect your contact details securely and do the draw completely randomly, but here are a couple of tips if it is new to you.

• If you are new to Rafflecopter, you can sign in with your name and email address or your Facebook ID. I advise always using the name and email address method, as then if you win the blogger can email you directly. If you give your Facebook details, and you are not friends with them on Facebook, a winning message will go into your "other" messages folder. You don't get notifications of messages there. so might miss out on a win.
• If you enter by tweeting, but don't know how to give the URL when asked to, you will find instructions for this on my "How to give the URL of a tweet" post.
• Don't just say that you have commented, tweeted, liked or followed without actually doing it - Rafflecopter KNOWS what you have done and  your entry doesn't count if you tell porkies!

If you have any more questions about entering via Rafflecopter - or using it to run competitions of your own, let me know here or through Twitter and I'll do my best to incorporate the answers into the post I am writing.
