I like “Floral by n252″ the most
October 15th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I agree, Floral by n525 is very pleasing to the eye. I would like to see better use of the whitespace through from it.
It still got my vote.

do you smell something wrong??
October 19th, 2008 at 6:31 am
Hm.. What do you guys smell? Let’s keep our finger crossed for the best thing :D
October 19th, 2008 at 6:48 am
for some reason i find it pretty hard to believe that you can get 70 legit votes in less than 60minutes
heck, i blogged about the contest/asked fellow bloggers to blog about the contest and ask their readers to vote for me, i made a medium scaled thread over at digitalpoint forums asking those who are using my themes/plugins to vote for me, and got almost all of my friends and my friend’s friends to vote for my theme and i get like 1-5votes/hour
October 19th, 2008 at 6:57 am
well… that’s something I noticed too.. .getting 70 votes is indeed tough.. although I really can’t say much .. until ip address and all can be checked.

October 19th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Voted for e-storage for usability and pretty much liked sites of the week
October 19th, 2008 at 9:44 am
heh, simplywp’s vote count jumped with 41 while i took my dog to a walk
i don’t even know why we’re even trying, because we already know who will have the most votes
October 19th, 2008 at 10:00 am
anyway i can see newblue is coming up now XD
October 19th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Hey Tiara, Roger sent me over here and thought that my Ikarus theme will be a good addition for next round :)
Let me know. Thanks.

Since you mentioned it, it’s funny to see all those 3 jumping their number day by day. They all previous winning doesn’t even achieve 100 votes and now, all of the sudden it’s more than 300… Well, voting takes only 25% of the chance, guess there are more to go then vote from us :P
October 20th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Hi guys,
Just to let you know, we are taking your thoughts into consideration and we WILL be checking the votes. :) So no worries – the best WP Theme will certainly win honestly.
October 20th, 2008 at 8:47 am
@allen – just to clarify. it’s not funny that we didn’t get 100 votes for our round, because we never used our potential that much as that was just a single round.
@tiara – indeed it’s a good thought – guys with legitimate votes should only win.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
This is really a good chance to showcase the designs and talent, how to contest in this competition?
October 21st, 2008 at 2:29 am
Allen, take a look at Round 3 Results before you start making accusations
also, this was the last round and i did all in my powers to get votes, if you’ll check out my blog you will find all my attempts to get votes
