Cupcake Blog Design Giveaway
April 7, 2010 | Filed Under Miscellaneous | 170 Comments
Updated to add: This giveaway is now over. The winner is #166 Anita Johnson!
Have I told you I’m a little picky? Okay I’m a lot picky and finding someone to put up with me when it comes to blog design is a little daunting to say the least. So when Michelle from Cupcake Blog Design emailed me awhile back to say she would like to help me with my many issues I said a tentative okay. Thankfully I’m happy to say she was fantastic and ever so patient with me and it was such a relief to know I was in good hands. Michelle did my main blog design and has just recently updated this review site a bit to match.
Today Michelle has kindly offered to giveaway a free custom blog design to one of my readers. The giveaway is for a “Deluxe Package” ($75 value) which includes:
- a custom designed header
- coordinating background
- recoloring of text and links
- (up to 10) sidebar titles
- custom post divider
- custom signature
Although Michelle worked her magic design skills in Wordpress for my sites, this giveaway is only applicable to blogs hosted by Blogger.
To enter simply leave a comment on this post prior to Sunday, April 11th at 10:00 pm PST. The winner will be chosen by random.org sometime after that. Good luck!
