I Won Pimp My Blog

By Simon On October 11, 2008 Under Contests

All of the readers of one of my favourite blogs, Balkhis, will know that each month he picks an email subscriber who comments on his blog regularly and will redesign their blog for free, which is worth somewhere between $550 and $1,200.

Now, I never win anything, so I was over the moon today when I went and visited Syed’s blog today and saw my name there. I have been a reader of Balkhis for months and months now, ever since I was introduced to his blog through a thread he made on DigitalPoint forums and I subscribed right away. It just goes to show that blog commenting isn’t only good for traffic and link building :) .

This means that very shortly, Otooo.com is going to have it’s very own custom design. It was just today I was thinking of having a custom design for my site.

Once again, I’d just like to thank Syed for this and encourage you to head over to his blog and check it out.

Good to hear that, Simon. I have seen some of the pimp from Syed and all I can say that they are all awesome. Syed has his own style of design which is evident in all of his works.

When is the theme upgrade delivered by Syed? Are you already doing some beta testing? Just curious to know how the makeover will be done… Be sure to backup this theme in a diff name or keep screenshots so that the readers can compare it later!

That’s good to hear that. Even I had got one of my blogs pimped and the lay-out feel had not-so major, but important changes which enhanced the lay-out which in turn enhanced the traffic. Congratulations mate. Hope you get lotsa benefits from it.
