WordPress Theme Designer Contest - 30 Wordpress Premium Designs Up for Grabs!

AZREBN has been talking up Wordpress Blogs at our last few workshops and so I thought I would share a great opportunity for all our ActiveRain members to take advantage of a contest being hosted by ChiQ Montes. ChiQ Montes is a full time Wordpress Theme Designer, currently living in the Phillipines and just launched www.WPThemeDesigner.com ChiQ is hosting a contest and invites all bloggers to take a shot at winning a premium licensed theme as a prize!

If you are interested in an outside blog and use WordPress, then you will need to pick a theme! There are 30 Premium Wordpress Designs up for grabs and you can take a look here. The contest rules are simple, complete the following guidelines and win yourself a WP Premium Theme by ChiQ and sponsors and be sure to stand out in the crowd! Contest Rules:

Candace:  This wonderful post of yours would even be more wonderful if I had some clue as to what all this means.  I think I need some sort of brain implant.  Perhaps I could even benefit from some sort of stem cell research.  Maybe in my next life I will understand this stuff better.  Take care... and... whatever this all means... thanks for sharing... I think.  LOL

Karen - Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org is yet another platform where you can build an outside blog (other than AR). Many people use wordpress.com for personal blogs and many professionals use Wordpress.org to build an outside blog that is hosted with a company such as GoDaddy.com or perhaps another host (server) to own their own blog out right.  There is a group that I found today within ActiveRain that actually helps with Wordpress (I will be spending more time there) since I am currently working on my own blog both personally and professionally. The group is here... WordPress Blog ... Some people pay big bucks to have a blog created for them such as Tomato Blogs or RSSpieces.com, WP allows you to build one with some what of an easy platform and host it and have total control of it. The cost is significant in comparison, however some reading is required to learn how to do it. There are many people out there willing to help too for a small fee. Check out this wordpress blog..  www.PhoenixRealEstateGuy.com  or www.RealPhoenixLiving.com  These friends have their own blog and host it themselves with the company of choice and pay, I would guess, under $100 a year. Jay Thompson has approximately 1,000 hits a day on his blog. Check out our AZRealEstateBlogs.com sometime and as time allows, the gatherings we are having monthly teaches attendees how to setup outside blogs and often times they are video taped for those not local. There is lots of info around the net too that is very helpful.  I know this seems like a lot of info, however if you don't have an outside blog, then perhaps you can experiment with one.

Candace - wow, girl! You are learning so much that I'll never catch up with you. This sounds like a great idea, and I checked out the website/blog set up for AZREBN. Wonderful!!! ;-) Can't wait to hear/read all about the meetings....

Candace, you truly have innovative out-of-the-box ideas!  I am still working on my wordpress design and am too much of a amature to even consider entering.  I can't wait to see who wins and the winning design.

Sounds like a great contest. By the way, you did a super job of hosting the AZBlogging Network meeting last week. Thank you.

Posted by Kevin McGourty - Moving Help - nationwide (MovingHelp.com) over 2 years ago

Leolinda - I hope you get a chance to share your wordpress blog with us, me!! If you get it up and going, I am going to be posting on AZRealEstateBlogs.com of the members that have been inspired by AZREBN meetings. Please let me know where I can help you!

Posted by Gilbert Arizona Real Estate - Candace Robinson REALTOR® (HomeSmart ) over 2 years ago

Kevin - Thank you very much! This new networking group has just gone on fire and with your attendance and others this group is growing monthly. I hope it was worth you time and effort to be there this past Friday and hope to see you at future meetings. Mark your calendar for August 29th, 2008 for the next AZREBN meeting. Thank you for your comments and it was great meeting you face to face!

Teri - I am working on getting the videos edited..that is so time consuming and wish it was delegated to someone that was much faster than myself. I know that Christoph Schweiger put some on his blog and on the AZ Real Estate Blogging Network Blog...soon is the goal..sorry!

Posted by Gilbert Arizona Real Estate - Candace Robinson REALTOR® (HomeSmart ) over 2 years ago

I love Brian Gardner's theme's and I will have fun looking at the other's you have here. I wish I could design like them.

Posted by Jay McGillicuddy~Real Estate Broker (Prudential Verani Realty) over 2 years ago

Jay --- I just bought a Brian Gardner theme tonight! I am so fired up and looking forward to working with it and getting my personal blog together! Thanks for commenting!

Posted by Gilbert Arizona Real Estate - Candace Robinson REALTOR® (HomeSmart ) over 2 years ago

Candace, thanks for the information!  I'll get to work on it.  BTW...it was a pleasure meeting you at the last networking event & I'm looking forward to August!  Have a great week!

Candace your Brian Gardner theme looks great. I am still struggling with changing the header. I am weak in graphic design.

I'll get it sooner or later.

Posted by Jay McGillicuddy~Real Estate Broker (Prudential Verani Realty) over 2 years ago

Jay - How did you find it? I am shocked, I have not revealed it just yet? I am curious...

I will be happy to help with a head graphic if you need help.

Email me. Thanks by the way, yours is coming along too..
