i found this post yesterday. really good and i’ve shown it to my friends as well.
i’ve stumbled upon this post while browsing google. good share and thankyou!
Phew! I will go for Javazine anyhow! I want o use this theme straight away in my blogger blog. I wonder how.. :(
Can someone guide me in this…
Thanks for templates. web tasarim adana
Hey Kai, great looks like a good give away. Stumbled it. I would actually give it away to someone who needs it!
I like communizine the best. Great use of colors…very bright.
yeah.
Wow, all the themes are really impressed me.
For me, the Community is the most desired
theme among because -
it is smart, simple, clean & nice to view.
Because I want to use that for my blog
n make them enjoy with their 1st impression. :)
Awwww I guess I’m too late… I’d love to get the StudioBlue.. my theme is the only one that needs a make over on my blog at the moment (and so my readers say too)
Kai loon . Thanks for such an awesome contest. I would love to get my hands on such awesome quality theme.
I would choose the most functional theme for my implementation- Java zine as it has the functionality to support articles , widget support, compliment with images
which can be used as a blog or resource site . It basically supports most of the functions that a blog and magazine needs. How would I implement this theme?
Based on a niche topic , I would change the background color to fresh color cos I love fresh shades , write on topic of choice , fill it with articles and images and voila start marketing the site .
I would like to have 3.Design Showcaase because I would not only like to display my text, I would like to display my photos/images too.
Ok, lets see. I want to get my hands on the Premium Product Site that others haven’t requested.
I’d pick Amazing Portfolio. I’m a amateur photographer and am taking a trip to India at the year end. I would like to use the theme to setup a blog to document my experiences and the photos that I take during the trip. The blog will continue to serve as my photo blog and travel blog.
I love a lot of the themes here. I already have Our Community which I think totally rocks. I would love to put my hands on the Design Showcaase theme , I think its a great one for a design site. I would probably use the element of the colors there with the name of the site, maybe will make the posts in the homepage with more text and less pictures a bit, but except this little thingy I think this theme is perfect!
Communizine would be the one I would go for.
Use: Been thinking about a community type site, would fit in perfectly ;-)

Hi,
I would love to win one of the copies of QuikTab…
It has a refreshing and cool feel and will help me set up my design blog…the one I am working on currently…
very interested in “our community”, and “design showcase”
both would be options for collaborative design portfolio / blog a close friend and i are looking to start up
hi,
I am working to build a multi-author blog.
I searched the net for the themes, after lot of searching i reached themeforest.
The first theme which caught my eyes is the design showcase by kriesi. Its a great theme with lot of cool features. I like the way search box comes up and the rss button which glows to yellow and tooltip with vista like look( don’t know what to call it). But that theme doesn’t fit my site.
Then i reached javazine which is best for my blog with featured post. Kriesi uses a feature that is an about author at the end of each post, i like that feature and it is good for my multi author blog, with authors details at each post.
But i thought a white background will be better for reading, so i finally ended up in “our community”. I would be happy if it had a bottom 3 column bar.
So the themes i like for my multi author blog is “Our community” and second choice is javazine.
Javazine is really addictive, its very good, i have no words to describe it. i joined themeforest just because of javazine. Thanks Kriesi for making that beautiful theme.
From this list, I think Communizine is my favorite.
I would love that javazine, that would make a really slick portfolio web site for my other work. Even if I don’t win I might just pay for it!
I’d love to use ‘Our Community’ for my yet to launch job posting site.
Javazine looks stylish. If I win, I’ll use it on my blog!
Sometimes, I wonder at the rate of theme giveaways, just for comments. I’ll rather a theme author gave away 1 of his/her premium themes and expect people to be very interested in purchasing others.
I dont mind having one of the premium themes, it stops me from having to search for them on warez sites. But then again, some premium themes are not worth their prices.
I’d go for the ‘Our Community’ theme and implement it as a base user platform for my coming site. It will be a site on which the community can add and review local stuff like activities, restaurants/bars and other information.
Hi Kai,
Nice contest! I’d like to win “Our Community” theme. I’ll use it for my next site which I’ll plan to power mostly by community.
Thanks.
I really like “Javazine”. I would use it for my new blog about environmentally concise graphic design.
Lets see, how bout send me any themes then as to how I would use it…I would make similar contest…
Bwahahhahaahah.. =p
I would love the “our Community” template. I am starting a Blog portal for my local town and this theme would make the perfect backbone.
If it is okay I do not wish to be considered for the Elegant Themes giveaway. besides my comment not being very creative, I am already a member there and those themes are well worth the 20 dollars.
Javazine would be my first choice. This template is more flexible than the others and there could be more room to grow. I would really like to use this theme for my website.
Thank you for this opportunity and congrats to whoever wins the theme, all of the theme is fabulous!
Great! I would appreciate to use #1, Our Community theme. With it, i’ll boost my tech review site with a professional desing, turning it more reliable and fine. =D
I love the new design. I always like the ‘toon character, but this is way cooler and it serves a purpose.
Please enter me in the Our Community drawing.
I would love to win the QuickTab theme. It reminds me of a movie curtain and would allow me to launch my new blog diggerdesignlabs.com (the site will let me blog about my programming/design experiments – and how we develop our projects) with a custom look rather than the tired default.
Hey,
Nice contest, and some nice themes here too!
I was stuck between which to choose here, But have made my decision to go with your “Our Community” theme, to use as the framework for a new design blog.
I wouldn’t just use the theme for that blog, I have been planning my internet network for well over 8 months now, and all that has been holding me back from starting is getting a theme in place. The theme would be used on many of the sites accross the network, and would be of major help!
Thanks for the opportunity :)
I would like to win the “Amazing Portfolio” template, and if I should win, I will use it for my concert photography portfolio.
Maybe even take it apart and make it WordPress driven (if I have the skills for that).
Hey Kai, great looks like a good give away. Stumbled it. I would actually give it away to someone who needs it! ;)
Yeah! Thats really cool. I´d like to win the 4. Communizine, because i wanna make another project with PaperToys. So if you want to force the Designrelationship between our Countries, please let the random stopping HERE :-)
Greeeeeeetz from Berlin to Malaysia!
