IZEA Blog

This is a great opportunity and great contest. I would love and be thankful to have the opportunity to have my blog madeover. I started this blog to post ways humans give back and I also like to give back to people with information I come across to share. I'm planning to have a section for happy endings where I will post videos of stories with happy endings! I have other plans as well for evolving the blog, and having a madeover would be a great start. Thanks for posting the before and after of Postie Heather's blog. Who doesn't lilke seeing before and after pictures! :) http://humansgivingback.com

Can't wait to see the results of the contest and the blog design. The UBD team is great...and we love you guys, too!

The guys at UBD are awesome. I can't wait to see the makeover.

UBD is thrilled to be a part of this awesome opportunity for bloggers!

How cool is this contest? You get to tell us what you want your blog to be, and we make it that way. Too cool. :)

Good luck to all who enter. I've a particular website that's in need of a UBD makeover myself. Very nice prize.

Alert the media!

This is a great idea you guys. It will give people who might not have been able to pay, a chance to get a custom design!

Monthly even!

Glad everyone's so excited about this promotion! Now we just need to get bloggers to submit their post urls! Keep 'em coming!

That was a great job you did with BC's blog! I have a blog that is definitive need of your redesign expertise. Right now my writing blog has a capable, but boring theme that I keeps the creativity from showing through. I have some ideas that I'd like to implement on the site, but I find myself limited by the constraints of the current theme and lack the time to really tackle a redesign it needs. With my heavy involvement in social media, I'd like to incorporate more of what happens on those other networks into my site as well as my efforts at writing fiction on Twitter and other social networks. Thank you! http://www.renegadesanctuary.com

I had to make 3 different posts to get my comment up there. I guess it kept disapproving my comment because I had two links in there!

@QuickPWN Looks like it made it. Thanks for posting the link.

@Ashley: Yes half my comments got approved and the other half got held for approval. I know that noon Est. is the deadline of this contest but when will the winner be announced or contacted?

I love Heather's new design. Why isn't she using it?

I am sure glad I found your contest. What a great prize, UniqueBlogDesigns does wonderful work! http://www.cheapmommy.com/cheapmommy-redesign-contest-entry/

@Jules I think Heather may be in the process of adding this new design to her blog.

@Audra right now we both have good chances of winning because it looks like only two people have entered so far. Good luck in this contest!

I would love to win this blog makeover and think my blog, Spiral Scratch, could greatly benefit on a design change to match the change in content & focus.

Here is my blog entry:

Thanks, Izea, for offering this contest!

Got it, Liz! Thanks for submitting.

Hi,

What a beautiful make over. The site now is more appealing and I like the wide menu bars on top with a blue background and the RSS feed is being emphasized. and in terms of design its fantastic. An ideal blog simple, easy to navigate and appealing to the readers. The blog now has a future.

Best Regards,

Sheila
