The WooThemes Blog

24 hours has passed since we posted yesterday’s “Guess our Bestsellers” competition and it’s about time that we get to announce the winners of some of those Developer themes…

First up, nobody could come up with the right guess for our best-selling themes in the last month, so nobody thus got both correct and the free 6 month subscription on offer has thus gone to waste… There are however 6 people who guessed our all-time bestselling themes correctly and we have decided to give each of these people a Developer copy to any of our themes. But before we announce the winners, we need to tell you what the winning combo’s would’ve been…

So we know we delayed this announcemenet slightly, but we’ve been tied up elsewhere… But without holding this up any longer, we’d like to tell you who the lucky winners are…

wpressd.com

For this one, we really, really liked John O’Nolan’s suggestion to create a Digg-style platform for niche WordPress content. There are a whole bunch of WP content aggregators out there, but none that offers a little bit of community contribution & involvement; so we’re sure that this will be a great idea. Congrats John!

wpmag.com

For this one, we had to think a little longer as there were many great suggestions… In the end, we decided to award it to Mark Bailey for his in-depth plan of action. We just got the feeling that he’s going to do a great job of building a community around wpmag.com and the community is really lacking some top-notch WP content sites.

So congrats to both John & Mark… Please drop us an e-mail on info[at]woothemes.com and we’ll get those domains moved over to you ASAP.

It’s competition time around here again… For a while now, I’ve had both wpressd.com & wpmag.com registered with the idea of using them for some kind of WordPress-related (duh!) project. The sad truth is however that I’ve never had enough time to invest in developing these domains into something that justifies the quality of the domain names.

So I’ve decided to give both of these domains away, in the hope that someone else will develop them and do them justice. Obviously the idea is that the projects will both contribute back to the WP community; so we all stand to gain from this!

Here’s what you can win:

1. One of the two domains: wpressd.com or wpmag.com;
2. Any theme (of your choice) from our collection to get your new domain cracking; and
3. We’ll even do a little follow-up blog post once you have launched the new site.

And it is so easy to win:

Simply comment below and tell us what you would do with one of these domains, should you own either of them. The best idea will then get the domain and the other freebies that go along with that.

We look forward to your ideas!

So yesterday I decided to launch a little fun promo competition, whereby my Twitter followers could suggest a definition of “Cushy” and get the chance to win one of free copies of the Cushy theme (also released yesterday). I must admit that I didn’t expect so many people to participate and I’ve had a really great laugh as a result of some of the most hilarious / ridiculous tweets I’ve *ever* seen. So here’s a run-down of all tweets that came through yesterday…

I have marked the 3 entrants, who’ll be getting a free copy of Cushy in bold. If you’re one of the lucky one’s, please e-mail us your full name, e-mail addy and desired username + password to info@woothemes.com and we’ll hook you up.
