Penny Butler´s last blog post..Just some Random New Plugins I’m testing

Because of the quality of a few of the submissions, I’ve decided to declare two second-prize winners in addition to the Thesis theme winner. The second prize winners will receive Thesis at an unprecedented discount (should they choose to take the plunge).

The second prize winners are Greg Huntoon and Faryl (@fearlessblogger).

And the winner of the free Thesis is…

Aussie blogger Penny Butler! Thesis costs a zillion dollars in Australia, and as a result, the trust quotient required to turn Aussies into Thesis users is through the roof. Penny has a great subscriber base and a firm footing on the Web already, and I truly believe that she’ll be able to make fantastic, genuine use of the theme.

Thanks to all who participated, and winners—you’ll be receiving emails from me soon!

Chris Pearson´s last blog post..Thesis 1.3.3 is Available Now with Seamless Options Integration for WordPress 2.7

I’ve been dying to get my hands on a Thesis license for months – would have loved to use it for my blog, but couldn’t afford the fee! My Pavlovian drooling at the mention of Thesis was only made worse once I had an opportunity to play with the theme setting up a friend’s blog (he bought the theme at my suggestion)!

Why do I want it?
Aside from the SEO benefits of Thesis, I want a copy to love and nurture and call my own because I’m dying to incorporate my current header and a few of my current design elements with Thesis’s column & other design features and perks. I love a good challenge, love new toys, and love good design – so Thesis satisfies all three cravings!

I’m also wanting to start designing & installing wordpress blogs for clients (I’m currently a hosting reseller) and want the opportunity to apply my creativity to Thesis’s form. It’s the theme I recommend to anyone who asks, so it’s only fair I “walk the talk” and install it on my own blog!

How would it benefit me? Aside from all the built-in benefits of the theme itself, I’d get a chance to gain experience with the theme so I can start improving my skills to launch my aforementioned blog consulting business. It would also make my own blog so nice and clean and beautiful, I’d smile every day just looking at it. I think it could even turn me into a morning person – bounding out of bed, eager to get my hands on my beautiful blog with my beautiful theme!

The other reason it would benefit me is I’ve included saving up for Thesis on my New Year’s resolution list – how cool to start the new year with one of my resolutions already accomplished! Can you imagine a more promising outlook for 2009?

I can list more ways it would benefit me – I would use the money I’d been saving towards the license to get my 6 month long roots “touched up” and get an overdue haircut. My newly bleached & styled hair-do would bolster my self-esteem, improving my outlook on life, brightening my relationship, perhaps motivating me to improve my posture and take up a sport as well. The added energy from my new athletic endeavors would sharpen my wit, improving the quality of my blog posts and tweets. Perhaps one tweet sparks an idea in a young student’s mind – he solves global warming, fixes the US economy and rescues Tom Cruise’s career all with one website (also running on Thesis, of course). This is just the beginning of a chain of events leading to a global utopia . . .

Or you could give it to someone else. The world’s pretty ok as it is – right? :-)
