Just incase you didn’t know, this whole blog is written by me but provided by the fantastic company, WordPress. WordPress provide an easy facility for creating your own blogs. Check them out at www.wordpress.com.

Right now, there’s a competition going on for the creative use of a WordPress logo, hence my picture above!

Happy blog writing.

UPDATE: I won most votes for my section/league/thing! I got an e-mail from a chap at WordPress USA who gave me a choice of prizes. I am now the proud owner of a WordPress Hoodie and a WordPress skin for an iPhone. Now I just have to win an iPhone!

    Nice! What a classic! What did you use for your graphics editing? Photoshop?

    Thanks for all your comments! I’m chuffed to have made it to the finalists.

    Ebradbury – I just used GIMP to edit it (the free one lol) http://www.gimp.org. I love your fighting crime pic. Top idea.

    Softwhiteunderbelly – I like your Obama WordPress pic too! It’s pretty interesting to see what everyone’s come up with.

    now that’s sweet. I’m loving this one out of the two i had to choose.

    not only cute, but this has a great creativity about itself.

    good job!!

    Hah, I used GIMP to make mine too. I had a blast doing it. I’m usually no good at graphics editing but this one turned out pretty decent.

    Thanks Sylvia. And yeah ebradbury, you’d never know you weren’t good at graphics editing from your pic. Top work.

    Thanks for the luck, and ditto to you, although it appears that you don’t seem to need it. :]

    I agree completely with the categorization. They might as well have labeled us “Wiscellaneous”

  13. Mark 28 October 2009 at 6:39 am #

    hahaha that actually would have been a cool catergory!

    Looks great! Very well done! The team at StuffRichPeopleLove.com commends your creativity and the great Photoshop work! Good luck!

    Haha thanks very much! I’m honored to be recognised by the stuff rich people love! ;) I love your blog. Quality idea.

    Cool, the best pic

    Cool :)

    Interesting idea.

    I live within easy walking distance of the Original. Like what you did very much. You know a fella with a few resources could very easily bag the W with a WordPress logo, if one was so inclined… Also, HollyWoRd is an easy stretch, as well. College pranksters have played around with the Hollywood sign for years (CalTech? UCLA? not quite certain, may be both) Congrats!

    Haha thanks for your comment Craig. Great to hear from someone who actually lives near the sign! It must be quite impressive to see it nearly every day. So I take it you can actually walk right up to it? I would have thought they’d put heaps of security cameras etc. up there!
