Before everything I want to thank everyone who voted for me in the contest, thanks a lot for your support. Thanks also go out to the bloggers who blogged about the contest and vouched for me: Mihaita, Lorzz, Dever.

Instead of winning first place with 1,000$ + hosting i won 3rd place and 100$ + hosting . Even if it’s not first place i think it’s a good debut in the contest series, because it seems that Lunarpages will organize Theme series 4, where i will try to get a higher rank than 3, and some more loot(money) for development.

Either way, regardless that i didn’t win the first place i will keep my promises:

The money will be used to release a new theme, and i will give away the hosting. Unfortunately $100 isn’t enough to cover a prize in a contest, so we’ll stick just to the theme for now.

I already have a theme in mind for next week’s release which needs a few more changes and coding, so you can be sure that a new theme will be added to the free themes section till the end of next week. Till then feel free to take  a look at my latest Wordpress plugin Custom Widgets. You will also find a video in the release post which will 99% help you understand what  the plugin actually does.

The prize money will be sent as a check, so this means that i’ll have to wait a while until it arrives, after which i will go to cash it in, which means more waiting time, but what the heck, what matters is that sooner or later i’ll have the money.

I have talked to Tiara from Lunarpages, and she gladly approved my idea of giving away the hosting:

“Regarding the hosting, that’s a great idea!”

The hosting will go to Tim Garcia, i owe him this much for the help he gave me in the past 4 years when i needed it, and his reliability fully deserves it.

Stay tuned! The new theme will be released next week!
