Blog Design Competition Winners
Last week I ran a little competition here at ProBlogger asking readers to nominate their favorite blog designs to put them in the running to win one of five copies of Web Design for ROI: Turning Browsers into Buyers & Prospects into Leads.
This has been one of my favorite competitions to watch because the 113 entries unearthed some wonderfully designed blogs (if you’ve got a spare half an hour it’s worth reading through the comments).
I’ve picked the following five winners:
Adam Teece, JamieO, linkerjpatrick, UzBlogger and Jeremy Wilkins. I’ll pass your emails onto the suppliers of the books and they’ll be in touch to get your postal address.
Thanks to everyone for your entries - you’ve given me a great morning of discovering some great blogs.

Anonymous..That’s not the best-design blogs. Those are the winners. They are chosen because their comments that stand out for their value. Duh.

This is really cool. Thanks much Darren. I’ve never won one of these things before, but I decided I would give it a try anyway.

Aw, too bad I was in the midst of chaos and fell behind on my blog reading. My blog just got a new design! Goes to show you should keep up with your reading…
Congrats to the winners!

‘Anonymous’ - this had nothing to do with the commenter’s blog design - but their comments. To be fair about 100 of the comments left could have won as they had a lot of good stuff to say and pointed to some good blogs - but I didn’t consider the bloggers who left the comments ability to design blogs at all (as per my announcement of this competition). This wasn’t ever called a blog design contest - in the announcement post I wrote that I would ‘choose 5 of my favorite comments (ie comments that stand out for their value).’ Perhaps you need to read posts before you make comments.

Congrats to the winners - although I think it would be quite valuable if we could see some kind of compilation of the comments that helped them win =)

Congratulation, but anyway I do not see any special on the design of those sites, sorry…. Maybe I just like something else…

I just received the book the other day. Still reading it but good stuff so far and I LOVE the way the book itself is designed. It make not only the reading easier but many of the concepts easier to understand.

Congrats to the winners and I’d love to see a segmented design contests so each person could design toward some unique theme.
I’ll plan to pick up the book for tips on my own blog design.
