Knee Deep in the Hooah!

I Need A New Design Contest
December 24th, 2008 by CJ

UPDATE: We’ve moved into 4th place!! Only 41 votes needed to earn the #3 position. This is where the competition gets tight, so please help to spread the word by emailing your friends and family, posting a blog on your Facebook or MySpace pages (or send a bulletin), and vote daily from each computer you use. Thanks for pushing us into the top 4!!

I hope everyone is having a very Merry Christmas. For Christmas this year, I’d like you to give me something that won’t cost you a dime. I’d like to completely retool They Have Names. Come January 1st, my New Year’s Resolution is going to be to get back to writing profiles of our fallen troops. I’ve taken a long break and the only way I’m going to get back to it is if I force myself.

LifeBlue is holding a contest for a FREE site redesign and I need your help to win this thing. Currently, everything on They Have Names is cumbersome to manage and completely assembled with HTML. Every entry has to be meticulously hand edited and is very time consuming.

The “I Need A New Design” Contest is logging votes all the way through February 15th, 2009. Registration is easy and you can do it ANYTIME throughout the contest. One winner will be selected by the average daily votes, and the other winner will be selected by the total number of votes throughout the entire contest. That means whether you join the first day, or the last day of the contest, you still have the same chance of winning!

All you have to do is click the “Ranked #” button on the sidebar to vote for me. It’s that easy!! If you’d REALLY like to help, send me an email to get the the code and place the button on YOUR site as well. The winner will get a complete, free web redesign and $500. I need you to vote and vote daily. The more places you can put the button, the better. Thanks in advance for your help.

Go HERE and vote for “They Have Names” (the link should take you to the actual voting page for CJ’s blog). Please pass this information onto your friends and family (email, facebook, Myspace, blogs, message boards, etc.)
