Ummm… shouldn’t the registration codes go to the people who actually participated? You’ve got our names, e-mail addresses and URLs… doing the first come, first served thing isn’t that cool.
If I participated (I did) but didn’t get a reg code (yet to be seen), I’d remove the post from my blog. Why give pagerank/exposure when I’m getting nothing in return?
Jon: I think I actually did see somewhere that the 600+ bloggers will get a code, as well as the first 3,000 that are first come, first served. However, I’m not 100% sure about that.
Also, did anyone get an automatic response yet? I sent mine in, and I really want to make sure I get a copy (one that I deserve, as I also blogged it), but I’ve yet to get my “auto-response email saying Congratulations!”.
I believe that in the original instructions we were automatically included if we submitted our blog site. However, I don’t see those instructions, so I can’t verify. It would be nice if macZOT confirms this in the announcement, I really don’t want to send in an e-mail and take someone else’s 3,000 registration if I don’t need to.
Awesome, got a code.. Although I did find the ‘template’ that you’re supposed to use VERY confusing.. Got it wrong twice before I actually formatted everything properly.
Might be easier if you did something like this:
Why does the link to the instructions go to the front page? Can’t say that I find any instructions there.
I would also like to have it confirmed that all participents get a registration code, since I did participate and haven’t received any emails from maczot yet.
Color me confused, so we had to do something in addition to blog about and submit our posts? What instructions did I need to follow, they seem to have disappeared? Is it too late to follow them now? The frontpage currently says $19.99 – which is still a great price, I might add, but is that what I can buy it for now?

I was one of the people that submitted a blog, does this mean that I will still get a code even if I didn’t send an e-mail in time?

Do those who have their blog posted on this list: http://maczot.com/index.php?mod=blogzot&list=1 get free registration since the price reached $0?

Ok, if we blogged it do we still need to do this?
I did it anyway because that wasn’t clear, and I haven’t gotten an autoresponse!
Have 3,000 people already grabbed their copies!?

I can’t imagine how much spam those poor people over at domain.com must get.. example.com exists for a reason. ;)

Has anyone at all gotten a repsonse confirming their e-mail yet? Maybe the MacZOT server is just overloaded…
April 25th, 2006 at 8:50 pm
I also blogged it, and sent an e-mail, and haven’t got an autoresponse. Crossing my fingers. I will be upset if nothing comes!

I have talked to the creator of this website, and according to him, every blogger gets a copy automatically.
(me) “The wording made it sound like those that blogged it would get it free (if it became free), but I wasn’t sure.”
(him) “Yes, if it does [become free].”

I mean I put my blog down as it told me too. Both in the comments and the submission page.
But then I had to sleep as 24:00 PST = 08:00 BST therefore sleep was needed.

It sounds like bloggers will automatically get a serial. The post above says:
“Bloggers: If you blogged this, and got your submission in BEFORE we finished, you will automatically receive a registration to SubEthaEdit.”
I’m on the list, just at the $0.10 mark. Wow, I just got it in on time!
April 26th, 2006 at 7:36 am
SubEthaEdit Went FREE!
Well, MacZOT! said they would make SubEhtaEdit free if enough people blogged it, and they did!
