It’s been awhile since we made a blog post and we apologize for that.  The eHow team has been busy working up a storm trying to figure out cool ways to update the site, but we’ll reserve what we’ve been brainstorming for another post.  In the meantime, we would like to make a post about one of the coolest things on eHow.com.  What is it you say?  Contests!  It looks like we have been a little behind in terms of announcing contest winners and such, so we wanted to make one huge blog post about the past winners as well as the current opportunity we have.

Want to earn an easy $75?  Here’s how…

So, we’re running one of our popular promotions this month.  You guessed it… it’s the infamous homepage opportunity.  eHow.com is giving away $75 to folks who get their articles featured on the homepage between the dates of 7/20 to 7/31.  We want your summer-themed Home & Garden articles and if they get featured on the homepage, you’ll earn $75.  For more information on this sweet deal,  check out the link below:
