Let’s Plurk Together!
Yes, I’ve finally decided to join Plurk, now that I have a bit more free time. So, why don’t you leave me a comment with your Plurk account so that we can be Plurk-buddies?
Also, for those of you wanting to add me on Plurk, here is Blogsessive’s Plurk account.
Simple Balance Theme Customization Winner
Another contest has come to an end on Blogsessive. Out of the participants, Sara from OnSimplicity.net has been randomly picked by an outrageously simple script, as the winner.
Congratulations Sara! I’ll contact you via email to establish the details.
A big thanks to all the other participants (fog, Cristian Raiber, Arief Fajar Nursyamsu, SE7EN) and hopefully, at least a backlink as a consolation prize will do.
Also, stay tuned for next month’s contest. The requirement will be a bit more complex, but I tell you, the prize will be well worth it.
Blogsessive Activity and Some News
So, what’s up with Blogsessive lately? Well, in short, here it goes:
Simple Balance WordPress Theme
As you might know, I’ve been working on the “Simple Balance” WordPress theme that I plan to release for free download. The design has been fully coded, validated and cross-browser checked. All that I need to do now is to implement the code on a WP theme structure. A couple of days at most, so, stay tuned.

And of course…
More interesting articles coming up on Blogsessive, including tomorrow’s post, “How to Make Your Comments Stand Out” and another post in the Blog SEO Tips series on Sunday, discussing relevant keywords and some keyword suggestion tools. This is going to be a nice week!
For Blogsessive’s Loyal Readers
As you might have noticed, the past week was a bit more quiet on Blogsessive, but before I get to the reason behind that, let me tell you some things about me and Blogsessive.
For a blog, I always thought that there are a few critical steps that can shape its future. In my case, Blogsessive took these steps successfully.
- Blogsessive has passed the first three months of existence;
- Blogsessive has gathered over 100 RSS subscribers and Twitter followers;
- And most important, a wonderful community began to grow around this blog.
None of these steps would have been possible without you, Blogsessive’s loyal readers. For that, I sincerilly thank you!
As I’ve shared with you in a previous post, I believe that blogging’s biggest value resides in its education capabilities. So, during the past (almost) four months, I’ve learned many new things, along with you and from your comments.
Those of you that read the about page, know that I have a background in web design and development and what better way to repay you for all your help and loyalty than by putting those skills at work, as I’ve done when building this blog’s design from scratch.
Simple Balance WordPress Theme
Update: Simple Balance free WordPress theme has been released.
Soon (most probably this weekend), I’ll make available for download a free theme that I’ve worked on lately, called “Simple Balance”. There are still things that need more work at a coding level, but I can definitely give you a preview of the theme:
Again, thank you for visiting and being active on Blogsessive!
