Custom Blog Design Giveaway



If you like the new design here at So a Blonde Walks Into a Review, you're going to LOVE this giveaway!

I am so excited to announce that my blog designer Lindsey, from Mommy Chronicles Blog, has offered to give one lucky reader here a FREE custom blog design! Here's what the winner will receive:
  • Custom 2 or 3 column blog design
  • Custom signature
  • Custom square blog button and code
  • Up to 8 sidebar buttons &/or horizontal navigation bar
  • Complete widget transfer
  • Installation of your new design

Yes, the winner will receive ALL of the above at no cost!! What a prize, huh?

To be eligible to win, entrants must either have a personal blog (no business websites, please), or be planning to start one. And it must be on Blogger, since Lindsey only designs for that format. So be sure you have both of the following before entering:

Here are a some examples of Lindsey's other designs:





Soooo pretty!

Click here to see her full portfolio (with links to the blogs) and the amazing designs she has created.

"Custom" is key here as the winner will receive a one-of-a-kind design based on their preferences and no one else will be able to have that design. The process is so simple and it's so exciting to watch it come along!

Lindsey is wonderful to work with and will not stop until you are completely happy with your new look. And she's very intuitive at capturing the feel you want to go for. I just showed her a photo and explained in a few words what I wanted my site to look like and she designed it exactly as I envisioned it!

As an incentive, Lindsey is also offering $10 off custom blog design for anyone who doesn't win but wants to hire her for their new design. Her prices depend on what is requested so prices cannot be listed, but if you email Lindsey, she will give you a quote.

To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment here telling me why you'd like a custom design from Lindsey.

For FIVE bonus entries, blog about this giveaway on your site with a link to this post and to Mommy Chronicles Blog. Then leave a separate comment here with your link so that I know to credit you with the extra entries.

For THREE bonus entries (or a total of EIGHT if you do the above step as well as this one) Twitter this contest with a link here and then leave another separate comment letting me know you've done this. Please be sure to provide a link to your Twitter profile in your comment.

All entrants must have an email address that I can easily find so that I can contact them if they win.

Deadline to enter is Thursday, October 9 at 11:59 EST. Winner has two weeks from the time of notification to claim their prize, or the prize will be forfeited.

Good luck!

I left a comment, then my computer went crazy, sorry if this is a repeat. I'm about to start a blog for the community of parents in my county school system.

The more professional the blog looks, the more readers, more readers means more action and maybe our little system can make some headway in getting Alabama schools out of the bottom in education.

See, I really am a charity case, lol.

Honestly, i've tried searching and searching for the perfect look for my metal music blog. The layouts either look too cheesy or the alignment is all off.

Making my own doesn't seem to be an option, so maybe winning one will be!!

Some great designs there, I'd like a new theme for my Blogger blog as I am about fed up of the theme it currently has, something original would make me spend more time posting on it.

My blog needs a face lift and I would love to have a cute new design with 3 colomns so I have more space to add links and other things and it would also be easier to navigate which is very important to me. I'm a huge fan of Lindsey's designs, I'd be so thrilled to win and I know my readers would definitely love it too.

This is sooooo cool! I love the designs..Yes I want to enter and I'll do all the extras...too fun.

I would like a custom design, because mine looks BLAH! ;)

That girl said...

I'd like a design by Lindsay because this is my third blog, (I had to keep switching blogs due to nasty trolls finding me) and the last two were professionally designed...one by Splat Designs, and one by Bella. (come to think of it, I think the lady who did the splat design blog was also named lindsay)

Now, for my third blog, I'd like to have a professional look to it as well, given my last two blogs are no longer being used.

Wow, that was a mouthful, wasn't it?

thanks.

Leah said...

Ok, I guess I'm just another sorry soul begging for a break...I have a blog, but it's just a regular ol' blogger template. It doesn't really say "Me." HELP! Please! 4 kids, house full of pets, hubby supports us all and God see us through!

I have had a well-known free children/family ministry website for years. However, I just have not found the time to figure out how to customize blogging themes.

Now I am getting ready to start a free resources website for families with autistic children, as I have one myself and have found huge success with products I have developed when we could not afford to buy the resources. I think family intervention is the MOST important step in working with autism and I am not happy with everybody turning a PROFIT off this challenge. Too many families cannot afford to buy expensive resources or don't understand how to use them. I want to develop an easy to use resource with free tools and training. I know in time I will have to do fundraising to supply the materials to those who need them and cannot print them out online. Anyhow, I would love to have a blog to coordinate with the site.

Thank you for the opportunity!

I have fallen in love with Lindsey's designs! She is so talent and my blog needs a "Cutesy" look to it that I know she'd rock at!

Rebecca R. said...

I would love to get a custom blog design! I have only just started to set up a family blog, and have never done much with it, because I can't make it "look" the way I want! As a stay home, homeschooling mom to our 7 children 10 yrs. old and under, I don't have time to figure it out myself, or money to pay someone else to do it.
