Best wishes with the contest. Sometimes it pays to be aggressive to get the word out and by spending 60,000 EC you are well on the way to building up some decent notice for this site.

I’ve subscribed to your RSS feed via Bloglines too, by the way.

I’m glad I read this. I rarely reply to peoples comments…not because I don’t like them…but because I thought it was self-serving. Thanks!
Thank you

Tweets on Twitter should be confirmed, and it is easy to do, if the person claiming to have tweeted your blog or a post submits the permalink of the tweet. (yes, they all have permalinks, just like blog posts)
