New Look, More Writers, Same Contest Corner!

You may have noticed a new look on the site, as well as some new faces! I’m thrilled to share what I have been working on behind the scenes: First, I have given Contest Corner a total makeover with a site re-design and new suite of graphics. One of these logos is the new “Meet The Team” button linking to our revamped “About” page, introducing you to all the people behind Contest Corner team!

As you will remember, last June I shared how I had enlisted the BizzyBim team to run our giveaway submission system. It’s been almost a year already – which is hard to believe – and I’m so happy to have them on board. I’m delighted to formally introduce you to Beth, our Giveaway Submission Manager, who manually reviews and schedules each contest listing that is received via our giveaway submission form. It’s also my pleasure to introduce you to Ben, who has been handling social media projects for us and will also begin contributing articles to Contest Corner – watch for his first piece later today!

I’ve been thinking a lot about my goals for this site and how I can further expand. Having BizzyBim on board (say that one three times fast) has opened up so much potential for not only bringing you more content, but also freeing me up to spend more time on what I’m truly passionate about, which is writing. So in order to bring you more of what you love, I’m excited to announce the newest additions to the Contest Corner Crew: Shelby & Catherine!

Catherine and I have known each other since 1998, and she is one of my dearest friends. Catherine’s also a fantastic writer and has worked with me on many articles previously on Cooking Catastrophe and MomStart. She has also covered several events and press trips for me in the past and will serve as our Los Angeles correspondent.

Shelby is my wonderful cousin and resident parenting expert! She has also written several pieces for MomStart previously and is both a great writer and a thorough product reviewer, especially when it comes to baby and kid gear. She’s been assisting me with our Gift Guide for a few years now by receiving sample shipments & testing some of the children’s products that we feature.

So there you have it: New look, new writers! What isn’t changing are any of the features you know and love, and I’m not going anywhere. This will just expand what we’re able to offer and make it that much better!
