Win a Custom Banner Design for your Blog and Etsy Shop!
Does your blog banner or Etsy shop banner need a facelift? If so – this contest is for you. One week from today (Thursday September 11, 2008) I will randomly pick a winner of the following prize package:
- 1 Custom Blog Banner
- 1 Custom Etsy Banner
- 1 Matching Avatar
There are four ways to enter:
- Comment on this post = 1entry
- Subscribe to my feed = 1 entry
- Add this banner linking to this blog on your web site = 2 entries
- Write a post about this contest on your own blog and link to this post = 3 entries
If you subscribe to my feed and/or add the banner to your blog, please let me know that you’ve done so in your comments so that I can confirm it. If you write a post about this contest in your own blog, note the link to the post in the comments as well.
Have fun!
UPDATE: I’ve had a few questions about who would be designing the headers for the winner. That would be me! I’ve had 11 years experience as a professional web and graphic designer. I designed SmellyChicks and hundreds of other websites and blogs. I’ll make you happy – I promise!
