Unique Blog Designs is especially well-known for designing blogs like Shoemoney, John Chow, Entrecard, and more recently, Yahoo!. Well, they just celebreated their first year and are holding a contest! They’re giving out some awesome prizes and considering that it’s free, it never hurts to participate!
Prizes
Grand Prize: 8GB iPod Touch + the upcoming UBD Citrus WordPress theme
Three runner-up prizes of the upcoming UBD Citrus WordPress theme
Entering is really simple. Just make a comment to the UBD’s contest post and send a trackback to it via a blog post and you’re in.
If that iPod Touch comes to BloggersWalk, you know that it’ll be going back to one of you guys.
Had a hard time looking for a nice free theme for your WordPress? Well, the theme directory is open!
One of the most important aspects of a blog is its design. Okay, WordPress has a pretty decent default theme, but it surely isn’t something that you want to stick with in the long run. The officialy directory has been cleaned and is starting from 0 again (currently 9 are in the directory). Soon enough, the directory should become massive.
Need a good free theme? Looking to change your current theme? Can’t pay for a custom yet? It doesn’t hurt to check it out. I’m seeing some good ones in there already.
A few minutes ago, I logged into BloggersWalk and what do I see other than an RSS feed from WordPress.org! Yes people, WordPress 2.6 is now released. Here’s a video from WordPress.
Regarding upgrades, WordPress claims that the theme and the plugin sections of WordPress 2.6 is pretty much identical to 2.5, so at least I’m happy about not having to fix this theme a bit here and there and wait for some plugin updates.
Once I’m done with conducting the update for BloggersWalk, I’ll give a full review on the changes. Tune in, as I’ll probably do the update sometime this week!
