And the winner is…

pimp my blogThe first prize winner in the Pimp My Blog contest is Angela Stevens! I wasn’t even surprised when she turned out to be the winner because she stacked the odds in her favor by racking up 26 (!) entries by writing about the contest on all of her multiple blogs and adding my site to the blogrolls. Congratulations Angela! I’m looking forward to working with you on blog header/logo design. Now your difficulty is choosing which blog you’ll want me to work on.

The second prize winner is Ian Hedges! He wins a blog review- look for that in the coming week or so.

Everyone else wins a link out from my site, which I hope you won’t be too disappointed with considering it’s a PR5 site.

Thanks to everyone who participated in my first contest! There were 142 entries among 32 entrants:

    Is social networking effective for the home business? This post shares some survey results….

    Oh darn! Congrats to Angela though. I look forward to seeing her new design. I barely have enough time to keep up with my one blog. :-)

    Are these in number of entry order?

    It was fun participating in the competition. I look forward to the next one!

    Congrats Angela! I can’t wait to see the end result!

    Good work on the contest Randa.

    Aruni – they are not in number of entry order. It’s pretty much in the order they were received. There were very few people who had more than 6 entries, and just to be really clear in case anyone is confused at all- Angela did have the most entries, but she won from a random drawing. She just happened to stack the odds in her favor by racking up so many.

    Hi Randa!

    Just arrived from the awesome Design U did on Brian Gardner’s new Theme* Very nice work!!

    I’m finally taking the Plunge of doing a WordPress Blog + after months of struggling to find a Theme I liked + that suited my Personality I settled on Brian’s amazing Vertigo Electrified!

    Finding a WordPress Theme can be exasperating to say the least – there’s so many to choose from but finding the “right one” is hard*

    Now comes the Harder part of getting everything setup properly*

    I can’t emphasize enuf how a Graphic Designer like yerself can save Time that is Money well spent by Bloggers + Companies wanting to give themselves a Professional Look! Afterall yer Blog will be seen by people from around the World*

    Cheers Randa!! Billy ;) )

    Peace*
