Pimp My Blog June 2008 – Nickthrolson pimped version
Like always today is the last day of July, and I am done with Nick’s site. Well I have been done for a while, it is now ready for public exposure. Nick’s email got chosen on the June Drawing and therefore he recieved the new design.
Pimp My Blog is growing big every day. I get more and more inquiries about this topic. Also the email subscriber has gone to a higher level. I am trying to do more of web 2.0 faster loading blog templates.
Well check out Nick’s Site at Nickthrolson.com
Watch the Video of his site getting pimped:
Youtube here because Revver is too slow in approving
I will be doing the drawing for July winner in a few days. This time I will not reveal the date because some people are cheating the system by subscribing in the drawing days and than unsubscribing. But it will be done in the first week of August 2008.
Entry method is simple.
Subscribe to Balkhis via email. Make sure you comment alot. Top commentators get more entry than others.





















Hey, I am Syed Balkhi, The guy who is behind Balkhis Inc. I entered the industry back in 2002 not knowing a single thing. I barely spoke English at that time. In the past six years, my language barrier has been eliminated. Aside from English, now I also speak html, and php. Along with the languages I have also managed to master a few arts. Art of web-designing started when I first entered. Messing around with photoshop, I learned how to create my first web design. Now I founded a web designing firm Uzzz Productions. After running numerous amount of websites in various niche, I have mastered the art of web-development. Now I am compiling a resource of what I already know, and what I am learning on this blog. This resource is to help me if I ever need a guide to look back to, and it is help my fellow webmasters.




Great design there. I’d really like to see a new blogger get some help from you in this area. It would make for a really interesting Pimp My Blog edition.
I am not picking the winner, it is a number generator doing the job. I am just assigning numbers. The new bloggers should subscribe and they might win
Have you thought of taking into account people you actively Plurk with?

No when I launched this program it was only for my feedburner subscriber. In the future when I add an email newsletter than I will add those as well, but It is hard to track Plurk followers and it will be more of a headache to me. I would be very happy if one of my plurk buddies win this. All they would have to do is simply subscribe to Balkhis via feedburner.
Emm.. Did Nick change the theme coz it looks a bit different from the theme in the video. No CSS navigation. The divider between the content area and the sidebar runs into the footer
And no ‘Pimped by Balkhis’ logo!!
Syed definitely doesn’t make mistakes like those!
And I forgot to mention that the neat logo is missing
for some reason Nick’s theme is displaying the old one.
Just got an update from Nick. He is tweaking the pimped version a bit on his testing server. Therefore the site is here.
Aah! The new design looks great.
I liked the header part the most.
Sweet design! Are we already entered with extra entries because we are already subscribers to your RSS?
Paul, rss subscribers via email are the ones that are included. If you are in those than you are counted. Plus the last month’s top commentators will get extra entries.
Anything for this months top commentators?
Nope since the winner will be for July then the top commentators from July will count.
Next month’s drawing will count August’s Top commentator.
Big Thanks Balkhis Just updated the theme working on the footer adding my social profiles ect
An interesting design that is for sure. You are putting some nice ones together Syed
