Greetings!
I am running an online survey from now until June 20th, 2009, which I call .. “The PetLvr Twitter Survey” ..
It’s a short survey and isn’t too painful 
At the end of this survey, there are instructions how to enter my contest. I am offering up to 3 slots on each blog AndYouWill.com and BattlingForHealth.com to 3 random winners for each blog - for 125×125px banners in the sidebar during the months of July and August 2009.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a banner .. I will find someone to create one for you!
If you are not on twitter yet … go create an account twitter.com/ and at least reserve your favorite nickname or handle or real name before someone else does!
Thank-You
HART
Battling For Health Sponsors!
April 8, 2009 by HART (1-800-HART)
Filed under . ANNOUNCEMENTS
I have implemented a new platform to assist the self-sponsorship of our Battling For Health blog with both banner and text link sponsorship using OIO Publisher. This is a wordpress plugin that can easily process paypal payments, and allow you to upload your banner images easily.
I highly recommend this software plugin for managing your own ads, and there is an $8 discount available if you purchase in the month of April 2009 using coupon code … “SPRING-HEN”.
APRIL 2009 SPECIAL PRICING
Meanwhile, I have set the prices for the 125 x 125 banner ads to be $30/month and text link ads to be $15/month (USD) for the month of April. On May 1st prices will go up.
For all sponsors who sign up during the month of April 2009, you will have the opportunity to maintain these prices indefinitely. All you have to do is set the paypal “subscription” option to YES. This will reassure your continued sponsorship at these introductory prices until you (or us) stop the subscription. Spots are first come first serve and 8 spots are available in each category.

On March 1, 2009 .. I am closing the doors on the individual “Battling” series of blogs in the HART-Empire Network and merging them all into this one mega blog. I thought I would show you around the new site!
New BATTLING FOR HEALTH Logo
I would like to thank my Blog Catalog friend Omar Modesto for coming up with this new logo and design .. I think it looks great! Plus, if you are familiar with the other blogs, each had my HART-Empire Network logo on it, and I wish this site to stand on its own!
Navigation and the BATTLING FOR HEALTH Category Archives
Just under the new logo, there are two 3 rows of navigation. Feel free to right-click and open these images into a new window to peruse. The top row, left to right, is as follows:
* Home - will bring you to the front page (you can also click the new logo as well)
* About - information all about our blog

The next two rows are links to individual category archives .. by topic. For each old blog that we used to have, we will be maintaining the data and organizing it into categories. For instance, if you click the “Heart and Stroke” link above, you will see all the posts under the “Heart and Stroke” category, as on the image to the right, just like the old blog. Current categories mimick our old “Battling” series of blogs:
* Battling Addiction
