Wooing You To Vote!
Posted on 01. Sep, 2009 by Michelle in Networking
For my regular readers you will have surely noticed the new theme that I’ve installed on my blog and maybe even recall my please excuse the mess post! I’m pretty happy with how the theme has come together, well actually I love it! And I love it so much that I’ve taken up the challenge to submit my blog to Keller Hawthorne’s Best WordPress Design 2009 competition! And I’m hoping I can Woo you to vote for my blog!
My blog design is a lightly customised version of Busy Bee by WooThemes. I’m a proud affiliate of the guys at www.WooThemes.com and hope I can Woo
you to vote for my blog!
The design at the front end is clean and simple yet it still offers a good deal of ‘easy to navigate’ aspects for you, the reader; I hope you’re enjoying it as much as I am!
Behind the scenes things get even better, the guys at Woo have done a brilliant job of making the functionality of their themes so easy to use at the back end.
Voting is open, and you can only vote once! There are some fantastic blog designs entered and I hope you enjoy looking some of them over. Of course I’m Wooing you to vote for my blog design if you love it like I do!

Michelle…you will always have my vote, no gift needed.
Went to vote and I guess it was today where I was but yesterday where Keller was and probably tomorrow where you are!
I’ll vote in the morning!
good luck. I really do like your new blog, I’m doing a branding tweak for my SS sites too.

Very nice Michelle! I voted for a variety of reasons:
1) the site is exceptionally brilliant
2) i love supporting anyone who gives more than they take (and I am not expecting a gift in exchange for the vote!)
3) we need more women leaders in this market! ;~)
Buena Suerte! (Good Luck!)

Hi Michelle
The Blog looks great – I have voted for it.
I wish I could design great looking sites, but unfortunately I have the graphic design talent of a mole

Thanks again to all who’ve voted so far.
The first numbers have been released….’we’re’ sitting in 5th place although only one vote behind the tied positions of 3rd and 4th place.
Got any cool ideas on how else to promote my nomination? Then send them to me here!

Thank you mucho Michelle! I absolutely LOVE the dog theme. Now, if only I could learn how to use FTP/mozilla and build out a site…I’d do use this in a heart beat! (my dyslexia reared its ugly head trying to accomplish doing so with an online course.)
Any recommendations for a site builder who would have the patience to teach how to edit et al?
Great work, as usual, girl.

Hi Michelle, I’m in the contest too so I couldn’t vote for you because I already voted for me.
Sorry. Your site is great and I wish you the best of luck in the contest. I’m going around and visiting all the other nominees. What a great bunch of blogs!

@Rebe I don’t have anyone off the top of my head who could help you with the step by step tutorial. You could try offering to pay someone at one of the popular Internet marketing forums, I’m sure there would be offers to step you through things at a reasonable price.
@Annabel Thanks Annabel, glad you like it and thanks for your vote!
@Amy, thanks for stopping by, nice idea to visit all the nominees. Good luck.
@Victor Thanks for your vote, very kind of you.
I have a feeling I know who prompted you to stop by. Thank you!
