What Do You Think? Review Contest 3
Welcome to 3rd round of The Thinking Blog review contest. For those who are new to this contest and would like enter the next round, take a look at the original post for the contest guidelines (plus first winner) and check out the previous winner of the free blog re-design in round 2 as well. Once again I would like to thank the following 5 bloggers who took the time to write a review but didn't win this time. It's getting harder to pick the best!Honorable Mentions:
- Remo Aguilar's Leave No Trace
- Brian Heys' Brian Heys Writes
- Kelly Cho's Catch a Falling Star
- Dwayne Reaves' Dwayne's Word
- Martin's Money Blog Site
The winning reviews are... drumroll please
Favicon Winner: Well, there is no favicon winner this time. Since I couldn't decide between these two excellent reviews, we have 2 winners for a full blog re-design worth $2000! Luckily, they were very kind to ask so little for a facelift and it didn't take me much time to make them both.
Blog Design Winners: Shankar Ganesh's Shankar's Tech Blog
and Susan Driggers' Life is Risky 
.
..........
Shankar wanted a Web 2.0 style for his re-design in exchange for this excellent review. Rounded corners, reflections and simplicity.
Susan wanted a Mac style for her re-design in exchange for this excellent review. Rounded corners, reflections and vibrant colors.
Thank you both! So check out their new blog designs and favicon but make sure you don't leave the blogs without reading the content and commenting on the posts.
Quick tips for all the others who didn't review The Thinking Blog yet: it's never too late. The contest is still going on and by reviewing this blog you get quality linkbacks to help your ranking and a chance to win a free blog re-design! Those who read, comment and link to the posts in the archives get extra points. The further down the road, the better. Graphic elements like screenshots or using the "Thinking Alien" logo earns you extra points. If you are really enjoy reading The Thinking Blog, showing some link love in your blogroll will help too!

Thanks Ilker!Mentioning my site is already a favor in itself. Please continue the nice write ups and blog, so we won't run out of worthwhile blogs to read.
Thanks for the mention Ilker!! =)
I'm really humbled! :)
Ilker thank you so much! I can't tell you what the redesign means to me. Sorry it wasn't that taxing on your skills (*grin*) maybe next time I will be a bit more demanding.
Also thank you for introducing me to several new blogs. I can't wait to check them out.
Both sites look better after the facelift. Good job, Ilker!
Hey there, Ilker! I got the "thinking blogger award" today--twice, in fact, at the very same moment as far as I can tell. Anyway, I thought I'd come check out the blog that I was linking back to and I have to say honestly that I didn't expect to like you very much.... (Is that too honest?) As it turns out, though, I really dig your site! And I really dig the other new blogs I'm now getting to know through you!
So, yeah, this comment has NOTHING to do with your post here (though I'll throw in an "oooh, the facelifts rock" just to be polite--and cuz they do.)
What do you think? Post your thoughts..
