Your Darling Blog Workshop & Giveaway

CATEGORIES:

Beginning on the 8th of October I will be running the next Your Darling Blog design workshop, and I am beyond excited to be giving away one scholarship to Your Darling Blog which includes the workshop & 3 weeks of feedback on your design!

This is a great opportunity for blogger’s to create their own blog design, learn lots of new skills and be inspired.

Your Darling Blog is for bloggers who want to infuse more of their personality into their online space. Over 7 weeks I’ll be teaching you how to create a blog design that expresses who you are, including:

  • Access to a private blog and daily posts delivered to your inbox
  • Tutorials demonstrating various design styles and techniques
  • Step-by-step process of designing 3 unique blog designs
  • Creative lessons and assignments to craft your brand and inspire your blog design
  • Private Flickr group to share your work and connect with others
  • Shared insight from a selection of talented web designers
  • An extensive collection of examples, inspiration and resources
  • 3 weeks of individual emails with me to get feedback on your work

Be sure to read the lovely testimonials from past students.

To be in the running to win a Your Darling Blog Scholarship, you must complete these three steps:

1. Create a blog post explaining why you want or need to participate in the next Your Darling Blog workshop. Your post must include a link to the Your Darling Blog Website. Please also leave a link to your post in the comments below.

2. Tweet about your post, this giveaway post, or about the workshop on Twitter, including the handle @yourdarlingblog.

3. Sign up to the Your Darling Blog Mailing List (if you are already signed up to this list, you can skip this step).

This giveaway is open to anyone worldwide and will close on 24th August ,2012. I will read all entries and select a winner to be announced on the 27th August, 2012. I repeat, all three steps listed above must be completed to be eligible to win. The giveaway is valued at $295 AUD.

I wish you the best of luck and I can’t wait to spend the next workshop with one of you!

Update: I’ve created a little download of design elements you can use in your blog post.

Update: This giveaway has now closed, good luck everyone!
