update – thanks for everyone’s entries but this competition is now over.
Just a quick note to let you know that there’s just 16 hours to go in this week’s competition – Win a WordPress Blog Theme for Your Blog.
To enter you need to
1. leave a comment on that post (your first entry)
2. then on any other post on the blog (every other comment is another entry)
Genuine comments only. Entries close at midnight tonight (my time here in Melbourne).
There are 285 people in the running for the 5 prizes so far. Those odds are not too bad!

You shouldn’t count the odds by the comments on that competition post but by the comments on those every other posts. They’re the “real” entries and there can be over 285 of them.
But, I’ll still try. With this one entry.

Perfect timing as I have brand new site I’d like to launch within the next few weeks and a premium theme would be Suhweet!
Thanks for the opportunity!

I just want to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. I wish you all good luck in winning the them. A great theme can sometimes be the thing that sets a blog apart from the rest of the pack and turn a good blog into a successful blog.

Well, here’s to hoping….
I’ve already bought and used Brian’s original Revolution theme on one of my sites, looking forward to getting a copy of one of the News versions soon, hopefully via this competition!

I’ve been comment whoring like no ones business this week! Chris Vincent hit the nail on the head though, because people will flock from far and wide to steal my (yes MY) free premium wordpress theme!

Happy Holidays Darren, and thank you for ALL your generous giving, of prizes, of publicity, of link love… this is my favorite blogging blog, PERIOD, and beyond the incredibly useful info you provide, it’s because you’re just SO DARN NICE. :D

The question I had to ask myself was whether or not I’d whore my comments out for a premium WP theme… the answer was yes.

I hope I win this so I can change my current theme. I don’t like how my current theme handles the front page. :)

the theme is SEO ready?

The odds certainly don’t look very well – over 300 comments on that post seems quite steep a mountain to climb. But then again, who knows?

December 21st, 2007 1:57 pm
errr… thanks for the reminder. Honestly, not that interested in that wordpress theme. This doesn’t means that the theme isn’t well build or good looking. In fact, it looks professional and well designed. Should be good for a certain blogs. However, it didn’t have the features that I wanted for my blog. Don’t want to spend too much customising it later. So, I will pass and let those who wants and need it, get it.
Just wondering why there isn’t any blog writing contest this year as there is one last year at about the same time of the year. I really look forward to one.

December 21st, 2007 2:02 pm
Looks like a lot of people tweak free templates, so this should be very nice for one of us.
Roberto Villegas
December 21st, 2007 2:03 pm
yeah I was curious about that too. It does look like a great theme though.

I could really use this. I think my content at http://www.moneyandblog.com is great, but my layout needs work.
Thanks for the opportunity!

I agree with Darshana, what a Very cool Christmas gift this would be! Instead of “all I want for Christmas are my two front teeth!” I’m singing the tune, “all I want for Christmas is my new blog theme!” :) Thanks for the opportunity Darren.

Sorry, I’m not interested by a theme redesign and I can find dozens of free themes for wordpress. But if I win something else, then I won’t cry.

Hi Darren! Thanks for keeping us all updated and I’ve been reading your post in earnest. I always read your posts thru the RSS feed on my phone everyday. Sorry for not posting much — I make a 2 hour commute to work every weekday so its difficult to post a comment daily — so please keep up the great posts! Thanks again and wishing you and all readers here a Merry Christmas!

Hi Darren,
This is a late entry so I don’t expect to win anything. But having said that it does give me the chance to tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog. Your’s was the first RSS feed I put on all three of my blogs. Keep doing what you are doing because it helps newbies like me.
God Bless.
