I'm sooo glad (and relieved) now that the giveaway is over. It's been such a tough task, weeding out incomplete entries, unqualified websites/blogs, etc. It's just difficult when people don't abide by the rules even though the rules were already stated there in plain view.
And just now I saw the Dislike box for the 'Winners, announced' entry has one tick. It kind of amazes me why would anyone dislike it? The only logical explanation that I could think of is that one of the participants are not exactly happy with the outcome and decided to 'Dislike' the post. Sore loser, are we? But let me make this clear, I did not pick the winners. The names were put into the raffle system and the outcome was made by the machine. I did not influence it in any way whatsoever. Besides, nobody likes a sore loser. Plus, this is a contest. You either win or lose. Be a good sport and accept the result. Is that so hard to take in?
By the way, I also want to talk about this money-making system. I'm pretty sure many people have heard of Advertlets.com.
Advertlets.com is...
... an Asian blog/weblog advertising network that offers the remarkably sensible proposition of targeted, unintrusive advertising that benefits the online advertising and blogger community, as well as their readers.
Basically it is a centre where advertisers and bloggers can come together where the common target here is advertising. Advertisers sign up to get more traffic to their websites (and buy their products/services) and they rely on the bloggers to display those ads on their websites. Bloggers in turn, make money from those ads they display on their websites.
Okay it is finally time to announce the winners for the domain giveaway. I am sure that all the participants are as excited as I am.
EDIT// Okay I apparently put in one of the participants' name twice and both names were in the winners' list so I will have to draw up the name again. Whoopsie.
Right, I've compiled all the qualified participants name into a list, and I used Random.org to draw the names of the winners.
[No. 5 was removed because I accidentally put one name twice]
After putting the names into the random number generator, here are our 3 lucky winners (winners are selected from the top 4 names that appear in the list) from the first draw.:
4. Daisy
2. Taryn
9. Janice
And here's the final winner (after that embarrassing error (thanks to Filip for pointing it out)): 3. Angie
Congratulations people! I shall be contacting the winners soon to discuss about the prizes. To those who aren't so lucky this time, not to worry, there will be other opportunities in the future (probably in June). I thank you all for your participations. :)
The drawing up of the first 3 names can be seen from the video here:
And the drawing up for the fourth winner is in this picture below:
So anyway, Codeislove's second domain giveaway has ended. It's amazing how the contest managed to attract 4 participants within 24 hours of its launching. Congrats to all participants. I've sent out an email to you guys and I hope to hear from you within 2 days.
To those who didn't manage to join this round's giveaway, don't fret too much. I might be throwing another one perhaps near the end of December. So be on the lookout. :) But if you fancy a subdomain instead, you can get subdomain hosting from me. You can choose from nekonette.com or kitty-kat.org. :D
Ok, here's something that I want to share with you guys. This is a list of books in my wishlist. :)

I offer designing and re-designing of Classic Blogger templates. Examples of my design can be found on my portfolio website.

Other important information
Throughout the designing process, I may need to refer back to you for questions/opinions so do check your email frequently. This is to ensure the design can be done as soon as possible.

The designer
Kitty. 29. Blogger, web design hobbyist, compulsive shopper and bibliophile based in Brunei. Enjoys creating and designing websites, dabbling with HTML, CSS and PHP.
I've been blogging since 2005 (or earlier) though my experience with the internet started back in 2000. My main interest is in web design and development. Other times you can see me wrapped around a book or glued to Astronomy and web design magazines.
The website
This website was created in January 2011 and the domain was purchased by me in late December 2010. Initially the website was intended to house tutorials for Classic Blogger/Blogspot only however over the time it has developed into what you see today.
Several of the tutorials and articles can also be found on Nekonette.com, which is the my main website where I mostly blog about my personal life. Also some of the tutorials here have been moved to that website.
