Kami, your vote actually came closest; I don't think you're disqualified from your own contest, are you?. And if not, then Constantin should get the print as a small token of appreciation for his continuous contribution to the field. But if he doesn't want it, yes, of course I'd happily accept it.

Great, incorrect grammar and poor editing in my previous comment (my excuse is I think I'm coming down with something). I meant to say you should get the prize for guessing the closest number, and if not you, the Constantin. Phew!

I'll skip the first vote, but for 2007, I will predict your 650, Kami. Too much turnover.

Can we count comment feeds as well?

Good try Ike! Okay Lauren, I will give you my guess.

Man...I thought I had it in the bag. Anyhoo...I'm voting for 930 by Dec. 31...I'm assigning an intern to set up 200 PR blogs next December if need be

David; When at first you don't succeed, try, try again No cheating, Constantin will know...

Oh, I can't stand people quarreling. To stop the argument, I'd suggest you hand over the prize to me. I'll safekeep it for a year, and then next year you can use it again as a prize, giving it to whoever comes closest then. Does that seem at all a helpful suggestion?

Serge; Nice try, if I can say one thing, my readers are very savvy. However, I think you need to at least offer a guess for 2007, to stay in the spirit of the thing.

Put the print on eBay. Sell it and share the proceeds 60, 30, 10 with the first second and third places. Or donate the proceeds to a local school/library.

For next year? I guess 912. I used a formula to come up with that, which I won't share, because you PR people would take adventage of me

Rob; Nice. Glad to have some brainpower here (lol). I am liking the donate option.

I'm going to guess eleventy-gillion.

That's a lot of blogs.

I vote that you give the print to Constantin, the ever-diligent master librarian of this curious microcosm. He doesn't get nearly enough recognition for the tireless work he does.

I do like the charitable donation thought, but nah - give it to Con. Top bloke all round.
