Just after new year, you may have recalled the 4 posts/7 days challenge. Basically, the challenge is for me to post 4 articles in 7 days – with a little twist, you “help” out by encouraging me. The best encouragements win a copy of Ultimate Blogging Theme…

It was hard.

I’ve lost momentum so it was hard to deal with the challenge, to deal with my greatest enemy…

Me.

And I couldn’t have done it without you. So here are the winners of the mini contest we had last last week.

Congratulations And Thanks

AJ Kumar – I got to know AJ because of that wonderful comment he left that day.
John Rodica – Touching.
Simon – This photoshop trigger happy just sticked out like a sore thumb with this.
Melvin – He just said what I was thinking. Really hit me.

I’ve sent an email to you guys

The last few months, as you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been really busy -busy in such a way that it’s a blessing because I’ve got Ultimate Blogging Theme, Youngest Blogger and tons of other projects to finish.

Those blessings ate almost all of my time online leaving this blog and a couple emails collecting dust.

So i would like to take this moment to say…

I’m sorry.

I know I’ve said several times that I’m gonna get back to blogging but it only lasted weeks so I’m not gonna promise now, instead I’m going to take this as a challenge…

And to make it fun, if in the next week you encourage me enough to make 4 posts I’ll give away 4 copies of the Ultimate Blogging Theme 2.0 which now includes a one click logo management to those who’ve participated.

How do you encourage me?

Be creative, send quotes, guides, leave an encouragement comment or

On August 26 my database crashed leaving my blog with a big “Not Found” on the post area. I was with my friend’s house on that same day though having a sleepover so I wasn’t able to fix it till I got home the next day. The problem was solved in just a couple of minutes with the help of my web host, Media Temple.

In other words, this post is 5 days late and I’m 5 days late to start kickin’ off my blog for the…

What a looong anticipation for you guys aye? A month already passed since I threw the chocolates, cakes, information products birthday giveaway contest – and today, I’ve picked the winners via electronic raffle.

It’s quite late yes because school has started and I’m still adjusting my schedule especially I’m on the 9th grade now which means new subjects like chemistry, etc.

I won’t add to the anticipation, without further ado…

Here are the winners
