3. Select to pick a winner by clicking on the "pick a winner" link.
The system will select a winner randomly between the verified entrants. The winner's submission will be marked in purple to make the winner stand out.
Note: Keep in mind that while picking a winner, the system will let you manipulate the ranking if you wish to. Again, if you want to be completely fair about the randomness of the winner drawn, you should refrain from tampering with this. You can keep asking for the winner until you land on the ones you want. Nobody guarantees that the blog owner will not be biased.
