Blog Godown has received a lot of guest posts lately and receiving a lot of requests after it was opened for everyone. To promote guest blogging on Blog Godown, I am starting a contest which will be a competition among bloggers.

And a side note to this, It is not at all a joke, if you’re thinking it is connected to April Fools Day in any manner.
