Wordpress 2.0 Theme Design Competition

A Wordpress plugin called "Counterize" brought me to the link of the above mentioned competition. Last week as I was checking the list of my Counterize Referer I saw a link that catched my attention. I clicked on it out of curiousity and voila…there I found out that there’s a competition for Wordpress 2.0 theme design running. I thought of joining but I became hesitant as I saw the long list of participants. Hubby and AnP encouraged me and so I made up my mind and spent one and a half week creating/designing three (3) WP Themes for submission.  It may sound so ambitious of me to participate…but what the heck! In german we say it "dabei sein ist alles" *to take part is all that matters. I would like to encourage all other hobby designers like me to join the fun. Please go here KCYAP for more details.

All three themes will be available for dowload after 28th February 2006. By the way, be my judge. I’d like to hear your opinon about my work…and oh please be gentle with your comments :). Yours truly is not a professional designer…I’m just doing this for fun.

They look all nice but the best for me is the 3rd one, the green theme the one with the morning dews and green leaves

Hi Diane, thank you :cheerful:, the green one is also my favorite among the 3. Yung orange naman, I had a hard time searching for a suitable graphic that would match to the color combination of the whole theme…til I found the Butler. The image is somewhat funny but has a touch of class and the color scheme is perfect…and so is Clueless theme born.

Well she’s a designer and you’re not but it turned out you’re already a pro. C’mon let’s keep our fingers crossed. Do we need to vote? Where and How?

On commenting: In my humble opinion, de-activiate “waiting for verification”. This thread comments is safe because sometimes it makes me think kung na accept ba yung comment o hindi.

BTW, can you design three-column layout and black themes?

Ate, I’m considering of moving to a new webhosting service, say sign-up at your own service plan but want to keep my own domain name. How do I do that?

 
Comment by Beng
2006-02-03 12:35:03

That is very easy. I only have to send you a copy of “Connectivity Coordination”, then you sign it and send a copy via fax to your current provider and to me and that’s it. All the rest will be taken care by us. It will take 2 to 5 days…depending on how fast your provider work.

Please do. Can you send the copy thru my email? I will make a necessary informations about payment methods, fees & other essentials. I will be giving advance notice to my current provider. My bandwidth has exceeded its qouta and they charged me pro-rata. I went blah. Thanks Ate.

Oh you have been busy!! Anyways, ate just take some time off from the pc or work and close your eyes for even 15 minutes or so. And if you have frozen cucumbers, that will be nice to place on top of your eyes! I usually do that from time to time.

yup, there is only one category. medyo unfair di ba? 4 profi designers na ang nakalista. i said profis dahil they are really designers. their fees for a custom theme is more than $200.

anyways, i really don’t care…ang sampung juries na ang bahalang mag judge. i really hope you can come sha…AnP is looking forward to see you too.

Yes Charles I had been so busy the whole time due to this competition and my hosting business. Kaya pasensiya ka na muna ha at medyo limited ang time ko ngayon.

Re cucumbers, I tried that once…that was last year. Wellness nga kuno but the after effect was horrible :crazy: allergic pala ako dito. Kamillen Tee or what is it again? Camomille? O siya tee bag nito…it also help ease eyebags a bit :wow:
