Ok, so, here’s the deal. If you’re reading this in an RSS reader, come over to the site. There are a few changes to the blog, including a new color scheme, some crazy ass footer, and a tagline that makes me so happy I want to make out with it. Twice.
Also, big news over here at the Varon household. Nicole Antoinette, my codependent life partner slash roommate, and I have joined our creative genius to work together making Shatterboxx Media even better than it already is. To celebrate, I gave her blog, my blog, and the company website full-on makeovers.
And, because we’re feeling particularly giddy over our new digs, we’ve decided to give one of YOU lucky people a tricked out blog design. The only catch is that you’ll need to be operating on WordPress and be self-hosted. (Let us know if you have any questions.) Besides that, you can enter as many times as your little heart can allow it.
We will announce the very, very lucky winner on February 15. Good luck!
So, here’s how you can win (each is one entry and you can enter as many times as you want):
- Follow @shatterboxx on Twitter
- Tweet about the contest then come back here and leave a comment on this post with a link to your tweet(s). Sample tweet: Win a gorgeous custom blog designed by @shatterboxx ladies @jamievaron & @nicoleisbetter. Contest details here: http://bit.ly/9jaRmO
- Blog about the contest then, again, come back here and leave a comment on this post with a link to your post

Oh how I covet this prize. http://twitter.com/ellembee/status/8485214850
Signed up for the email list. Love your Thesis designs. But I make it a practice not to participate in twitter contests except in rare occasions or when the contest involves creativity. Judge me on the creativity of my tweet, and I am all about it. Otherwise, twitter just gets filled with retweets and junk. Even junk about worthwhile businesses and causes is still junk.
Guess I’ll have to design my own blog, huh?
I followed. I tweeted. http://twitter.com/michellewoo/status/8488228888 I signed up.
Um, I kinda really wanna win.
Joined email list and tweeted! Pick me, pick me: http://twitter.com/write4travel/status/8488329847
Ok, so I run my blog through blogger.
And since I’m not eligible for a blog redesign, why don’t you and Miss Nicole come on over to Missouri and help me redesign my room in a style that won’t remind women of their 13-year old brother.
Ball = your court.

Great giveaway! I love your design style!
Maybe this will inspire me to blog more? I hope?

Who wouldn’t want a blog designed by the 2 funniest gals around. Tweeted your contest to the world here.

Absolutely Perfect.
Not mention the fact that it was all true! I love the new look and as always, the translation of life.
Great work on all the new sites!
Love this new color scheme. Very spring. Which I like because it means warmer weather. This would be an awesome thing to win, so you’ll see more of my around here on this comment board!
so, I found the Shaterboxx site yesterday after going through a long list about 180 best Thesis customizations (I use Thesis for a charity website I run), and went through the portfolio drooling at the awesome design. Then today, I see this contest in my google reader through Nicole’s post. Coincidence?? Maybe, but I’m excited.
I signed up for the newsletter, so count me as entered!
Um I should totally win since I was willing to PAY for the design but I’m to po’.
I will stalk till I win.
and by to po’
i meant too po’
but po is still po
You totally give me the jealousies. Your a genius.

Awesome job!
Okay, because I REALLY REALLY need a new blog design:
1. I am following you on twitter.
2. I tweeted about the contest
http://twitter.com/misschiefsblog
3. Signed up for the newsletter.
4. Will post a link to this post in a button on my blog until the contest is over.
So, I don’t know if this is the kind of contest where I need to comment once time for each thing that I did to try and win but in the interest of not being totally obnoxious I will consolidate them all into one tidy comment. If you need me to come back and comment again I will, gladly.
I’m following @shatterboxx on twitter, I tweeted about the contest, I posted on my blog about the contest, and I’m signed up for the newsletter.
Proof is here: http://twitter.com/EmpressKate/status/8498441467

Just followed on Twitter & signed up for the newsletter. Your designs are GORGEOUS. Even if I don’t win, I’m totally saving my pennies for a blog facelift now.
AMAZING!! Love the look and totally wanting the prize!
I tweeted: http://twitter.com/ErinAlbert1/statuses/8504297510
I’m new to your site, but I love your blog!
http://twitter.com/formica_dinette/status/8504626358
Tweeted! LOOOOOOVE both the designs here and at More Is Better. Love love love them!
Tweety tweet: http://twitter.com/Bboudreau/statuses/8504828882
But wait – are you guys wordpress only? ‘Cause I’ll cry bitter tears and mail them to you.
My blog needs severe design help.
I tweeted, but my twitter account has my name in it, and my blog is anonymous, so I’ll DM Nicole the link–hopefully that’ll work!
Tweet! http://twitter.com/melle/status/8505136111
I love my nerds theme, but who wears the same outfit for, like, four years?
I followed, I tweeted, I signed up for the newsletter. I love both of your new themes! So cute.
omg need this! http://twitter.com/missheidi/status/8505357534
It’s yummy, that’s what I call Shatterbox. So I tweeted that it was yummy (e.g. your ideas, design, blogs, etc.): http://twitter.com/gracekboyle/statuses/8505438480
Where do I sign up?!
http://twitter.com/Ohmygoshi/status/8505803142
I twittered it: http://twitter.com/museumcuriosity
I have a blogspot blog, but have wanted to transfer to wordpress and figure that out. Glad I found you – funny stuff. Oh, it sounds like I’m sucking up, doesn’t it? But in a pathetically uncreative way?
Oh my goodness! This is quite the opportunity… You know I’ve loved your designs for quite some time. (Is “salivated over” too strong?)
Here’s my first tweet: http://twitter.com/randibuckley/status/8505719876
This would be a huge help to my biz and a great birthday gift. Whomever wins will be most deserving and super-duper lucky. And admittedly, I hope it’s me. Congrats on your new joint venture!
Followed on Twitter and tweeted the contest too. I so want this as I move my blog to self hosted this month!
Oh, HELLO lovely lady!
You have done such an amazing job and I’m so jealous of your mad skillz and I want to HIRE you to do work for the company that I’m working for, but I can’t because we’re a non-profit and HAVE NO MONEY. Eff. As soon as we do though, I will be thinking of you.
I followed and tweeted and joined your newsletter, but I feel that someone who talks about real things (besides sex) and who has been blogging a lot long longer deserves the makeover more than I do.
I’m also so jealous that you guys are living the dream life and making awesome pretty things and creating sweet contests and living together and I WANT YOUR LIVES RIGHT NOW!
Let me know if you need any assistance. I’m good at being the big spoon, making all kinds of breakfast, and getting boys to make out with you. Also good at convincing people that everything you do is awesome. In short, WILL WORK FOR MAKE OUT SESSIONS & CUDDLING. That’s all! Can’t wait to meet you!!!!
Just got a nerdy blogger hard on. I tweeted: http://twitter.com/marianschembari/status/8507033015. Am getting ready to post because this. is. awesome.
