   Hi,

   I've entered a blogging competition to win a trip to Antarctica next February. If I win, I will write a blog throughout the voyage for Quark Expeditions, and I can take a friend. Unfortunately, like so many of these blasted ventures, writing merit has little or nothing to do with winning. Whoever has the most votes wins..

   So what I've done is set up a website (barnabysadventures.sitebones.com) which takes you to the voting page (where you can read my application) and offers the 2nd ticket in a prize draw to anyone who has voted. I thought it was a great idea - the ticket is worth $10,000 - but people just aren't voting. In this modern world, people are possibly reluctant to register with a valid email address. What am I to do?! I'd be grateful if anybody could vote and spread the word. Otherwise I'm going to have to get the BBC involved! Thanks,

   Barnaby

   Barnaby do you use Twitter? that's a great way to spread the word fast - if you do, let us know your twitter name, then send out a tweet about your 2nd ticket prize draw and I'll retweet it to my followers and ask them to RT as well......it should help!

   In fact I'll send out a tweet now about it to get the ball rolling.......

   Hi Barnaby

   I can also help spread the word on Twitter, BUT I see a BIG problem with your site - it's all flash - a LOT of people block flash, and search engines can't do anything with it either......I'd strongly encourage you to redesign your page quickly - it's okay to use some flash (like a small video) but you need some text and other elements there for people to read if they block the flash
