Have you heard? ProBlogger is having a birthday bash, and you’re all invited.

You know what’s even better? There are $54,000 worth of giveaways waiting for you. That’s a lot of loot courtesy of these sponsors.

One item on that long list caught my eye though - a pair of 20″ LG USB monitors. Yup, you read that right - a pair; a deuce, a couple, in other words two (that’s 2) 20″ LG USB monitors are being given away, thanks to the generous folk over at DisplayLink. I’m hoping I get them.

You can get them too - find out how at ProBlogger and cross your fingers. I know mine are - and it isn’t easy to type like this.

Again, expletives are flying through my mind, but I’ll try to avoid them. Instead, I’m just going to pick apart your comment. [more…]
