Hack WordPress Competition

Written by Josh on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Not dead, just sleeping.

Seriously though, I haven’t given up on this blog, I just took a break for a week or so due to things getting a bit out of hand for me and also because I’ve been doing a lot of work on the backend of this blog.

In short, I liked the design, but wasn’t happy with its quality code-wise, so I began creating the entire site from scratch and using everything I have learnt since when I first began this site.

Progress is good so far both size and validation-wise. At this point it’s looking identical to what I currently have but is now at least 50% smaller. I’m pretty happy with that.

Anyway, you won’t see anything for a few more days, so till then I have a great competition at Hack WordPress to tell you about. Hack WordPress is one of my favourite WordPress niche blogs and I’ve followed it for some time. As a celebration of one year Kyle Eslik has the following announcement:

The Hack WordPress Anniversary Giveaway

The other thing I have to announce is the Hack WordPress anniversary giveaway! Before I explain how to enter, here is a list of premium WordPress themes that I’ve collected to give away to our readers:

6 Month Developer Subscription - The winner of this prize will receive a 6 month developer subscription to Woo Themes (Courtesy of the Adii and the Woo Themes team)

To get a chance to win this all you have to do, is exactly what I’ve just done!

How Do I Enter the Hack WordPress Anniversary Giveaway?

This giveaway is fairly simple, with everyone having two different ways to enter. Here is what you need to do:

Blog About This Contest (3 Entries) - Write a post on your blog about this contest and link to this post. The post needs to include the prize list found above (links in tact) and details on how to enter. (I will be using trackbacks/pingbacks to track this so make sure it shows up here to receive your entries). This will earn you 3 entries into the drawing.

Leave a Comment (1 Entry) - Leave a comment on this post giving us feedback on the new theme. What do you like and what could be improved? This will earn you one entry into the drawing.

Doing both will give you 4 entries into our drawing. I will collect entries through Thursday, October 9th and plan to announce the winners sometime Friday, October 10th.

These are great prizes and would be incredibly useful to me, so let’s just hope eh?
