Register and Win
I've decided to improve the interactivity of the Art of Drink. The first step is to allow people to register, which will improve commenting and access to future features of the site. It will also help me determine who reads this site. Now, I understand that information usually isn't free, so I'm going to provide some incentive to register.
If you decide to register, I will automatically enter you into a draw for one of three prizes. Anyone who has already register is automatically entered already.
The value of the prize, with shipping, is about $50 each. I guarantee you will like the prize. You must be of legal drink age in your country / state / province to qualify. I may add more prizes, or if a company wants to provide branded loot to be included with the prizes, please feel free to contact me.
Deadline for entry is December 10th, 2008. Winners will be announced December 12th, 2008.
The Registration line starts here.
Improvements
1. If you are a regular commenter you will get "Trusted User" status which will allow your comments to be posted immediately. Currently, I screen the comments due to the malevolent forces of the Internet. Spammers to be specific.
2. Future access to new features. Being a blog is great, but becoming stagnant is bad. New features and plugins are constantly being made available and these types of improvements will hopefully keep people coming back.
3. Who reads the Art of Drink? When you register, there are a few simple questions I'd like you to answer. Hopefully this info will help me write articles that appeal to the demographics of this site. If I find out everyone is 22 year old college girls, then I just might have to become a girly drink and shooter site.

Done and done. And not just because of the prospect of free swag, though i'd be lying if I said that didn't hold some appeal.
And if it helps your demographics, I'm both a cocktail enthusiast AND a foodie, but I couldn't choose both.
Looking forward to what you've got in store, Darcy!
You might want to make the "Interests" section a multi-option check box instead of a single-option radio button, if possible, and add an RSS subscriber option to the "visits" section.
Love the site, keep it up!
Just signing in,however looking for an answer from the other comments section re. Two bottles of Olympic.
First visit to the site..looking for info on purchasing Gibson's. Very nice sitel I registered, but hard to choose between being a Cocktail Enthusiast, Foodie or Bartender (I am displaced at the moment.) Look forward to checking out more of the site..
