Dear Reader,

Unbeknownst to you, I have had the team furiously battling each other in a blogging contest for the last few months. The contest goes through the end of the year, and there are VALUABLE prizes on the line.

The team has put out some great posts over the last few months, and I thought it was a good idea to make sure you saw them. So here’s the front-running posts from each Amplify blogger over the last 3 months. In alphabetical order:

How can you help your favorite Amplify blogger win? When they write a new blog post, share it, like it, forward it, comment on it, do stuff like that.

And just for fun – I got on a Rocky III kick somehow last week, and revisited my favorite clip from the movie. Mr. T (as Clubber Lange) knocks this one out of the park. I think you’ll like this one too. (if you’re reading via email/reader – you need to click through for the video)

What’s your prediction for the fight?
