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
- Share your online life! Custom admin interface to show your Diggs, Flickr photos, Tweets, and many many more!
- Styled comments created for threaded and paged comments in WordPress 2.7! Automatically adjusts to the legacy comments for earlier versions!
- 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!
- Standard Blog or Custom Homepage: MyHome Pro comes pre-built with a custom homepage that you can use to show off your profile picture, biographical information, recent posts and advertisements. Want a standard blog home page showing just your recent posts and a sidebar? No problem. It’s all included!

And now the article about the contest : http://www.geekandtech.net/concours-gagner-un-theme-premium-wordpress/
Since I am a reader of both blogs, I’ll write about both.
I guess this is what you told me about on Twitter huh?
@EmmaB: Exactly, this is the contest I told you about some days ago…Good luck!
Hey JBJ
I did a review of both blogs on my new gallery/review site. (You already commented on one of the articles). It was born last night, and I am still working on customizing the design :p
http://www.wpblogsgallery.com/
You’re blogs are actually among the first that I have reviewed
@EmmaB: Great! good luck for the contest!
I’m sad that I wasn’t told about it before….. ;-(. So I’m gonna give it a pass……(Just joking, Jean) If the time permits, I’ll do a short review.

Hey JBJ – glad you’re running this contest! Happy 6-month anniversary of CatsWhoCode – you deserve to be praised. I’m glad you and your friend are running this contest – there’s no better way to get more traffic.
Oh and I wrote a review of this site as well as WP-Recipes.
@Blog Setup: You’re not late, the contest just started today
Do not hesitate to write an article, I’m sure it will be a good one, just as any other you wrote.
@John: Very cool article! Thanks for joining the contest. Good luck!
I love to join contests. I’ll come back with a blog post.
Happy 6-month anniversary. My blog will turn 1 year on the new year

I also wish all participants good luck and a Merry Christmas.
Since I have already written an article about wprecipes when you launched it, I guess I will write a review of catswhocode this time!
It will be ready in a few days!
@hd-J: No problem, that counts for the contest
The theme you are using now looks pretty darn good. Clean, flows well, and looks very professional.

The contest is over. Winner have been annonced here.
What a great prize and a clever way to build links to a great product. I’m just looking for a template to use on my first WP project, think i’ll be using a free one initially but will look at your premium one if the site takes off:)
Ups, I missed this nice contest..
D’oh! Trust me to come across this too late! Looks like a great theme, I must say…
Wow, I like the theme option
how much your theme prize is? may I know?
I’m late to read this post
Well, is it gonna be anothr one?
I used to have a cat that looks exactly like the one in your avatar.
He was even a black tuxedo cat.
I miss him.
@Mr.Angry: Sorry to hear that
Great idea, I wish we could have joined the contest . . . where were the winners shown?
Cheers,
Michael
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
Does anyone know where the winners are posted and what was won? Any info on another contest would be great as well.
thanks
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!
@Dmitri: If the theme is really good, $50 isn’t that expensive. If quality is here, you’re sure to make money. If you create themes, contact me to organize a contest and spread the word about your themes!
The new MyHome template looks great. I think contests like this are a good idea because this thread actually has a lot of very nice designs linked from it, like the ones from SE7EN & Rarst. I had to bookmark this so I can come back and check out all the other designs. I’d love to see a full list of all the entries,
@Frontpage Templates
Thanks for compliment, I am no designer and it takes a lot of effort to keep my blog decent looking.
Wow, that’s a lovely theme. So elegant and simple. how could have I missed this
Great stuff Jean. and the contest idea is really good. when will the next contest be? I want to win too. Thanks.
Great theme. Nice work Jean. Simplicity at its best. I’ve always been a fan of simple themes. Too much graphics never worked for me. but i guess I’ve lost my chance for this themes. Anyway, nice work. Appreciate the work
That is one of the cleanest WP themes I have seen yet. Excellent job!
Great giveaway! I have been thinking about doign a redesign of my site for a while but haven’t gotten the gumption up to do so yet. Nothing better than free code.
Lovely theme. love the colors and the whole layout. Simple,nice and professional. I like that. Definitely worth a try on my personal blog. but unfortunately I didn’t win it
Better luck next time I guess.
Great design, you should be proud of yourself. I wish I had all of your skills and creativity. I guess it takes practice and patience two of my weaker points.
Clean, sharp and smart theme. Will there be another contest?
Congratulations for My home pro!
I was too late. I guess there wont be another competition… Bad luck.
The theme looks great. Love it. Simple and the colors are very soothing to the eye. I think 50$ is a good price for the theme.
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.
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.
myhomepro looks like a pretty awesome theme. Are you gonna be having another contest anytime soon?
i really find your blog extremely useful and informative. great job with it. i would have like to win that theme. but too bad. Anyway, great job. Appreciate all the efforts. Cheers
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.
Interesting article. I’ve been looking around your blog and most of your articles are really awesome. Love this theme. simple and nice. but too bad we missed it. hope you guys have another contest soon. Thanks
Love the theme. Wordpress themes have a really awesome variety. WP it self is a really awesome CMS. So much possibilities and functionality. thanks for giving away the theme. hopefully next time I can win
I’m still new in wordpress still in the process of learning, but I think that’s one of the neatest theme I’ve ever seen very nice indeed.
I use John Kolbert’s themes on a number of different blog installations for my affiliate marketing blogs. The themes he comes up with are fantastic – very configurable and easy to use.
Sorry to hear I was too late to win this!!
Wow, that template looks pretty cool.
Really good post, simple to read, easy to understand.
This theme is interesting for me, I use it in a lot of different blogs.
Thanks for helpful article.
Good luck.
Very nice and clean wordpress theme I like the social bookmarking twitter, digg activity links in the footer.

Thanks for a great theme! It’s really nice. I like it.

I think this wp theme is ideal for my new blog which is going to b released somewhere in next month. Thanks to you that i found it. Exactly what i was looking for.
Could you post the links to the winner’s websites so that I could have a glance at your premium wordpress themes?
Love this theme, really clean and well designed. I think the admin panel looks really useful too. Minimalistic themes like these are definitely my favorite.
