WordPress contest: Win a premium WP Theme!
Did you noticied that some days ago, Cats Who Code gets a new design? To celebrate 6 months of successful blogging, I’m very happy to announce our Christmas contest: Win 3 premium WordPress themes coutesy of John Kolbert.
Introducing MyHomePro
My friend and talentuous designer John Kolbert just created MyHomePro, a new Premium WordPress theme. To celebrate MyHomePro launch as well as Cats Who Code first 6 months of existence, John and me decided to run a contest and give away 3 copies of MyHomePro for free. But before I get into the contest details, let’s take a look at the MyHomePro theme.
Here’s some of the possibilities of MyHomePro:
- Compatible from WordPress 2.5 to WordPress 2.7

- Widget Ready Widget-ready sidebar and a custom coded footer for displaying your online activity. Simply beautiful!
- Fluid or Fixed Width Templates Purchase the fluid or fixed width templates to meet your own needs.
- Beautiful Code! W3C valid code designed using a minimalist approach. Tabless CSS makes customizations a breeze!

1.2.2009
Ups, I missed this nice contest..

I’m late to read this post

That’s a nice theme there Jean. Simple and nice and looks totally professional. Would have loved to win it
Anyway too late I suppose. And yes, where were the winners shown. Nice theme. Hope you have another contest soon. Cheers
1.21.2009
Does anyone know where the winners are posted and what was won? Any info on another contest would be great as well.
thanks
1.24.2009
Hello 2 everyone
Just want to ask — maybe it will be interesting for you. What do you think, $50 for premium WP theme it’s a little fee or not? Let me know please. I’m asking about that because i’d like to create some
I can create themes that are really cool and they are better then more on the market. Just trying to understand can i make money on that or not )
Thank you!
1.25.2009
@Dmitri: If the theme is really good, $50 isn’t that expensive. If quality is here, you’re sure to make money. If you create themes, contact me to organize a contest and spread the word about your themes!
1.25.2009
The new MyHome template looks great. I think contests like this are a good idea because this thread actually has a lot of very nice designs linked from it, like the ones from SE7EN & Rarst. I had to bookmark this so I can come back and check out all the other designs. I’d love to see a full list of all the entries,
1.25.2009
@Frontpage Templates
Thanks for compliment, I am no designer and it takes a lot of effort to keep my blog decent looking.
1.26.2009
Wow, that’s a lovely theme. So elegant and simple. how could have I missed this
Great stuff Jean. and the contest idea is really good. when will the next contest be? I want to win too. Thanks.
1.30.2009
Great theme. Nice work Jean. Simplicity at its best. I’ve always been a fan of simple themes. Too much graphics never worked for me. but i guess I’ve lost my chance for this themes. Anyway, nice work. Appreciate the work
2.2.2009
That is one of the cleanest WP themes I have seen yet. Excellent job!
2.2.2009
Great giveaway! I have been thinking about doign a redesign of my site for a while but haven’t gotten the gumption up to do so yet. Nothing better than free code.
2.3.2009
Lovely theme. love the colors and the whole layout. Simple,nice and professional. I like that. Definitely worth a try on my personal blog. but unfortunately I didn’t win it
Better luck next time I guess.
2.8.2009
Great design, you should be proud of yourself. I wish I had all of your skills and creativity. I guess it takes practice and patience two of my weaker points.
2.10.2009
Clean, sharp and smart theme. Will there be another contest?
Congratulations for My home pro!
2.14.2009
I was too late. I guess there wont be another competition… Bad luck.
The theme looks great. Love it. Simple and the colors are very soothing to the eye. I think 50$ is a good price for the theme.
2.16.2009
My friend who dropped by yesterday mentioned me about your site. Well yes, we’ve missed it. But is the theme for sale? Or any other themes? I’m looking for a theme something similar to the one you had given out in the competition. Thanks.
2.17.2009
That’s the most simple and clean theme ever. Would be so cool to win it. but I guess its too late. But who on it? is there a blog which has used this theme? It would be nice to have a real life look of it. Thanks again and please let me know if you will have another competition.
2.18.2009
myhomepro looks like a pretty awesome theme. Are you gonna be having another contest anytime soon?
2.23.2009

Nice the theme looks really appealing. Simple and nice too. I really love the fact that it is tabless CSS. it makes customization such an ease. Too bad I missed this. Hopefully next time.
