Xmas Contest: ReTweet to Win a Premium WordPress Theme

How long has it been since I’ve held the last contest on Blogsessive? Too long, but since holidays are close, lets have some fun and make two of you folks the owners of a brand new premium WordPress theme from ThemeForest. It is a simple contest and everyone owning a Twitter account is invited to join in!

Xmas Contest Prizes

Two of the contest participants will each win a premium WordPress theme of their choice from ThemeForest. Contest prize selection is restricted to the WordPress category on the previous mentioned website.

The two winners will be randomly picked by me on the day of December 26th. Read the rules below.

Blog Writing Tips from the World’s Most Famous Authors

You know me, I always encourage you to experiment, to learn new things, to reinvent yourself, but sometime the wheel doesn’t not need to be reinvented. Sometimes the best thing to do is to learn from the experience and wisdom of our “elders”. Such is the case of today’s blog post. Instead of sharing some of my own tips with you, I’ll leave you in the company of some of the world’s most famous authors and only interpret their teachings in the art of writing.

Easy reading is damn hard writing.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret.
Matthew Arnold

It’s easy to get lost in words and ideas. It’s harder to keep your writing concise and to the point, to make it clear and easy to read. Focus on getting your ideas across, to your readers, in their most natural form. Nathaniel Hawthorne and Matthew Arnold both agree on this.

Blogsessive News for this December

Hello folks, how’s everybody? The last week I’ve been working hard on a couple of projects, mostly related to Blogsessive. December is here and the New Year is just around the corner. I’m asking for your patience while I sort these “issues” out with a target in mind: The winter holidays should bring a couple of surpises on Blogsessive. I’ve been working really hard and trying to solve all things in parallel (both client work and work for Blogsessive), but it takes a little more than expected.

Fact is, I sure don’t want to get into the new year without giving you the gifts I’m preparing, so stay close cause this is what I’m getting ready to accomplish by the end of this week:

• The latest free WordPress theme (business CMS style): Corporate WP – Final stages
• Complete redesign of Blogsessive.com – In progress
• Switching servers – New server has been acquired and it is setup as we speak. I’ll move to the new server as soon as the new design is in place.
• Publishing the Corporate Blogging Guide in PDF format (Free) with an added chapter.

Thanks for your patience and I cannot wait to finish these jobs and to share views with you on them!
