Well, in short, here it goes:</p>
<h3>Simple Balance WordPress Theme</h3>
<p>As you might know, I&#8217;ve been working on the &#8220;Simple Balance&#8221; 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.</p>
<h3>Blogsessive offering 4 PRO logo designs</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re in need of one, check out <a href="http://plurkable.com/2008/06/30/plurkable-contest/">Plurkable.com&#8217;s PlurkCAST contest</a>, with Blogsessive among its sponsors, and find out how you can win one.</p>
<h3>Want to contribute to Blogsessive?</h3>
<p>Then, give it your best shot. Write a good article that would perfectly fit in Blogsessive&#8217;s general content guidelines and <a href="http://blogsessive.com/contact">send me an email</a> with it. All emails considered.</p>
<h3>The Blogsessive Debate</h3>
<p>We&#8217;ve had our <a href="http://blogsessive.com/blogging-tips/blosessive-debate-loyal-readers/">first debate</a>, now it&#8217;s time for another topic. On Wednesday we&#8217;ll talk about interaction between the blogger and his/her community.</p>
<h3>And of course&#8230;</h3>
<p>More interesting articles coming up on Blogsessive, including tomorrow&#8217;s post, &#8220;How to Make Your Comments Stand Out&#8221; 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!</p>

<p>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.</p>
<ol>
<li>Blogsessive has passed the first <strong>three months of existence</strong>;</li>
<li>Blogsessive has gathered <strong>over 100 RSS subscribers</strong> and <strong>Twitter followers</strong>;</li>
<li>And most important, <strong>a wonderful community</strong> began to grow around this blog.</li>
</ol>
<p>None of these steps would have been possible without you, Blogsessive&#8217;s loyal readers. For that, I sincerilly thank you!</p>
<p>As I&#8217;ve shared with you in a <a title="The Educational Value of Blogging" href="http://blogsessive.com/blogging-tips/blogging-blogging-tips/educational-blogging/">previous post</a>, I believe that blogging&#8217;s biggest value resides in its education capabilities. So, during the past (almost) four months, I&#8217;ve learned many new things, along with you and from your comments.</p>
<p>Those of you that read the <a title="About Blogsessive" href="http://blogsessive.com/about/" target="_blank">about</a> 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&#8217;ve done when building this blog&#8217;s design from scratch.</p>
<h3>Simple Balance WordPress Theme</h3>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> <a title="Free simple WordPress Theme" href="http://blogsessive.com/blogging-tools/simple-balance-free-wordpress-theme-released/">Simple Balance free WordPress theme</a> has been released.</p>
<p>Soon (most probably this weekend), I&#8217;ll make available for download a free theme that I&#8217;ve worked on lately, called <strong>&#8220;Simple Balance&#8221;</strong>. There are still things that need more work at a coding level, but I can definitely give you a <strong>preview of the theme</strong>:</p>
<p><img style="border: 5px solid #e5e5e5;" title="Simple Balance WordPress Theme" src="http://blogsessive.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/simple-balance-wordpress-theme.gif" alt="Free WordPress Theme Simple Balance" width="500" height="419" /></p>
<p>Again, <strong>thank you for visiting and being active on Blogsessive</strong>!</p>
