Giveaway Tutorial

If you've had trouble entering the giveaways, here's a little "How-To" to help you out. I'm still searching for a better way to do the giveaways. I'd like the process to be more intuitive, but for now, this is the best way to give you multiple chances to win.

Here's the widget on our Luthvarian Fiber Arts Giveaway. To start, click on the title of the blog post. That will put you inside each individual giveaway post.
Here, I entered my Email address and my name in the boxes on the widget, and then I clicked "begin!" This is the link right above Terms & Conditions.

Once I click begin, it offers the Mandatory Entry. This entry is a comment on the blog post that you are trying to enter the contest. All you have to do is go to the shop, find something that you love in the shop, then come back to the blog and comment about what you loved. You would click on "comments" on this post as seen here:

Once you've done that, go back to the widget and below Mandatory, click on "Click to begin" and tell it what name you commented under. It will auto-verify! 

Once the widget has auto-verified your mandatory entry, you will be able to see all the other ways that you can enter. For each entry, the widget will auto-verify each entry. 

I hope this helps clear things up a bit. If you're still having trouble, let me know. Maybe we can figure it out together, and I can clarify things here on this post as well. I want these things to be easy and for everyone to be able to enter to win!
