Contest – Best WordPress Design

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Over at WPWebHost they are searching for the best designed site supported by WordPress.  Now, I know my site isn’t perfect. And really the new version is not completely solid, but I have decided to throw my hat into the ring.

  4. Best Hand-Drawing Style
  5. Best Modern & Elegant
