Since I have been running a blog, forum or website for the CNBC Challenge for several years, I have learned that people really like to contribute and help out others.  Therefore, I have set things up to be as collaborative and interactive as possible.

Once you find the answer to one of the Bonus Bucks questions, leave the question and answer in the comments below, and I’ll update the post with your contribution.

Because this is the first day of the Challenge, there are a couple of questions I would like to answer:

How Do I Become a Top Contributor?

The Top Contributor section is my way of saying thanks to all of the people who are taking time to make this a great community.  The Top Contributor section will display the ten people who have contributed the most to Challenge Chat.  If you want to be recognized, all you need to do is find Bonus Bucks answers (or other valuable information) and share it with all of us by leaving a comment.

How Do I Get a Picture to Display Next to My Comments?

If you want a picture to display next to your comments (like this example), all you need to do is signup for a free account with Gravatar.  Once you create your Gravatar account, simply use the same email address when you leave a comment, and the picture you chose will automatically show up with your comment.

Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have, and best of luck to everyone on the first day of the Challenge!
