    designed BlogoSquare.com blog, is having his very own Design Competition for Blog/Site Themes. He’s got some very good designs available as a free download for bloggers already, very well coded. Read all about it and the fantastic prizes here. The winning design gets it’s own post here at TechZOnline.net, accompanied by a full review. If you want to contribute in other ways, additional prizes are greatly appreciated!

    huh ?

    I dun agree !

    am pretty much busy for the time being .. :P

    enfin .. when’s the deadline ?

    [ if its nearing .. its you who’ll be dead Hans :P:P ]

  • 5 josh Apr 4, 2007 at 6:26 pm

    Great idea Hans…Only that I do not have time to do it…Still creating my WP template for one year now :razz:

    Hey how did you get Paypal?

  • 6 waz Apr 4, 2007 at 6:28 pm

    pray tell: how come the organizer gets to compete? isn’t that biased? :neutral:

  • 7 Hans Apr 4, 2007 at 6:34 pm

    @ anoop

    don’t worry just send your design any time you want… to remind you, the competition JUST started lol :P

  • 8 Hans Apr 4, 2007 at 6:37 pm

    @ josh

    it would be great to send in even your draft pal, who knows someone might fall in love with it…. do spread the word about the competition…. to your friends.. that would be a great fun stuff

    as for the paypal stuff I’ve not put Mauritius so I can’t even touch any money there.. as I said in my sidebar all the revenues I get goes into sponsoring the competition…. I thought about more great prizes like ipod, shuffle, etc….

  • 9 Hans Apr 4, 2007 at 6:39 pm

    @ waz

    not at all bro… I don’t have any control on any ratings there above… that’s why I came with the vote system… you see a person can vote only once… so for me I can vote for once…. that’s it and the winner is not determined by my choice or likings but the number of overall votes….

    I thought emailing you about joining bro…. it would be great fun to have you up there…. could you please spread the word about it on your blog or to your friends….

  • 10 Nym Apr 4, 2007 at 7:17 pm

    about voting…
    how do you verify that one person can vote only once ?
    But verification on IP adress ?
    And youhou I’m first for now !!! :grin: :grin: :grin:
    (And i’m sending this comment from work… rooooh bad bad Nym, you should be working now ! :razz: )

  • 11 Khalil A. Apr 4, 2007 at 7:19 pm

    I’m definitely out of this.

    Haha!

    (Inside joke.)

  • 12 David Airey :: Creative Design :: Apr 4, 2007 at 7:33 pm

    Unfortunately my theme coding has yet to begin.

    I just took one of Brian Gardeners (sp?) and tweaked it a little.

    Should be trying more soon though.

    Nice idea.

  • 13 Hans Apr 4, 2007 at 8:13 pm

    @ Nym

    I’m using this simple rating kit :) great features pumped in there :) good day at work lol :P and don’t worry I’ll be pulling in there more design and then will see :P hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • 14 Hans Apr 4, 2007 at 8:14 pm

    @ Khalil A.

    why? YOU can be part of it by spreading the word to your friends buddy :P

  • 15 Nyssa Apr 4, 2007 at 8:16 pm

    Interesting way of dealing with a competition. :P

    I’m not sure whether I should participate (I already have hosting and a pro Flickr account, so I don’t need those things) or help out with donations. Not sure, but I will definitely plug it.

  • 16 Hans Apr 4, 2007 at 8:18 pm

    @ David Airey :: Creative Design ::

    thanks for your comment David :) hey buddy it’s just for the fun and I find your theme on your blog really cool and it would be great to have you up there…. the importance is to participate and share the fun…. if you want to submit any work you qualify good, you might send them too and this could be an opportunity for you to get great feedbacks on your design at the same time by the people voting and testing the sites :)

  • 17 Hans Apr 4, 2007 at 8:22 pm

    @ aadil

    the idea behind is simple buddy, someone submit a theme, gets votes, on the 200 enters the participants section and the one with the most votes win.

    I was thinking of putting a board of jury for choosing the best one in the most voted section among the participants… how about you joining in? would that be fun?

    do let me know what you think of this… I thought contacting you through your blog but it’s been down since some time…

  • 18 Hans Apr 4, 2007 at 8:26 pm

    @ Nyssa

    it’s just for the fun, you know :) it would really be great if you could submit your designs here and get voted and this could be infact an opportunity indeed to know what people think on it in front of others…. I”m thinking of including this script to allow people to comment on the design in question :) what do you say?

    the importance as any competition is to be in there :) and thanks indeed for your generous thoughts about the donation :)

  • 19 Nyssa Apr 4, 2007 at 8:29 pm

    How many designs/themes can be entered? I’ll enter something, anyway, for fun, like you said. ;)

    As for the comment thing, I think that’s a great idea. :cool:

  • 20 Hans Apr 4, 2007 at 8:33 pm

    @ Nyssa

    as many you like, you can send in the whole lot if you want and that would be great fun indeed.. I”m implementing the comments thing for the time being :)

  • 23 Hans Apr 5, 2007 at 12:10 am

    @ mariux

    sure buddy, you can get in even if your template is not made available for downloads…. there isn’t any condition asking you to release the theme…. you just have to send in your details so that people can vote for your OWN design…

    thanks for dropping by and for your interest :)

  • 24 Phil Apr 5, 2007 at 2:38 am

    Hi Hans,

    Looks like a fun competition! I’d enter but I’m naked right now! Give me a couple of days for the Naked Day function to wear off and I will send mine in.

    I like the use of the voting system too, by the way.

    that’s it :) Thanks for your comment :) Do keep in touch in here ;)

  • 64 Ben Jun 11, 2007 at 8:32 pm

    Hello hans, I got 200 votes !!.. what will be the next step ? :)

  • 65 Hans Jun 12, 2007 at 6:23 pm

    :cool: congrats Ben on making it to the 200 votes, now as you perhaps know from the competition’s guideline I’ll be putting you into the participant’s section where you can be entitled for the prizes if you ever win. Now what separates you from the prizes is holding that first position among the 2nd and 3rd participants(that’s when they make it there). Do keep in touch.

  • 66 Nym Jun 15, 2007 at 11:03 pm
