The holidays are upon us — how have you prepared to celebrate?
It’s that time of year and we want to know what you’re doing (or what you’ve done in the past) to get your house in the holiday spirit. Do you decorate? Do you host an annual holiday get together or party? Are you putting the finishing touches on a major home improvement project? We want to know, so show us what you’ve got.
This month we’ve teamed up with the folks from SC Johnson to promote Right@Home, its recently redesigned home care Web site. To participate, you’ll simply need to show and tell us how you’re preparing your home for the holidays and link back to www.rightathome.com.
What can you win?
We’ve got a $250 gift card for the lucky grand prize winner. Other participants will be eligible for prize packages of SC Johnson items, too.

Ok, I feel like a dummy but I can't find where to tag my blog entry "rightathome08" can anyone point my in the right direction on the account settings page?
Well I added the links to my post, but I'm not sure where to add the tags on your site? I've signed in but don't see a place to tag my blog post here...i added the tag to my actual post however.
bicyclemonkey and Home Again - I went ahead and tagged your posts for you here on Houseblogs.net.
In the future, you can tag any of your posts like this:
1. Write your post on your blog. 2. Wait for it to appear on Houseblogs.net (about 15 minutes, normally). 3. Log in to Houseblogs.net. 4. Go to the Blogs tab. 5. Click on the link 'Your Entries.' 6. Under the title of each entry, you'll see 'Tags: No tags found (add some)'. Click on that.
Then you'll be able to add the 'rightathome08' tag to enter in the contest.
Again, I've already done this for both of you so you're all set!
I added mine an hour or so ago, but haven't seen the feed refresh since then... and I need to go to bed! Any chance you could tag it for me? It's titled "My Little Box of Memories (A Christmas Preview)". Thanks!
Hi everyone - So, the contest is closed and we'll be contacting the winners shortly. After we've confirmed with each of them we'll post the winners here.
