To Continue Downloading and Using my Themes for free, you are now required to Subscribe via RSS or Email . Thanks!

I want to encourage all of you to comment on my posts. I will try to make every topic as interactive as possible. Therefore, I wish to reward my Top Commentator’s at the end of the month and thus I posted this to make it official. Top 1 will get $15 (paypal). Top 2 will get free banner spot (125×125). Top 3 will get 3000 Entrecard Credits. Top 4 will get 1500 Entrecard Credits. Top 5 will get 750 Entrecard Credits. 6 – 10 will get 200 Entrecard Credits from me. Offer is good? *smiles*

Wow, it’s interesting! But hopefully this won’t turn into a spam thing, where people comments just for the sake of reward instead of having something to say.

Anyhow, I like this idea ;)

I agree with wiehanne, I hope this doesn’t turn into a spamfest. I have always been on that list lol. Last time I checked I was the one on top.

Where is the list anyways :(

It’s okay guys.. I’ll be moderating the comments.. but I know most of you have been here since I started.. and I just want to be able to reward you for it..

also because, I’m doing changes to this blog. I’ve been posting content, not just free themes. it’s part of the change. thanks for the concern.

I tried to tell my self to not spam to get reward hehe :mrgreen:
as I have no thing to comment much on themes post
I’m looking forward to next articles (I really like your posts at cmdesignlounge :P )

I suggest that next time make a surprise, not notify readers first, thus may create anticipating, and comment more.

I’m sure that you just trying to get your readers to participate more.. but i can just see how this would encorage a wave of. “hey.. nice post” comment spam from people aiming for the price.

Maybe you could say “The comment that I think is the most insightful this month will get the first price, the comment that is the funniest will get the second prize.. etc.. etc.. ” I think it will encorage more quality comments. Just my 2cents.

goodluck with it though.. love your themes.
