Maria Blogs

If you haven’t visited it yet, and in case you don’t know [yet], I am nominated for Best Blog Design at the Bloggers Choice Award. The next question is, why vote for Maria Finds?

Because when I first started this blog back in November, I was clueless and I mean clueless about Wordpress. Some seven years back I have worked on PHP programs but I have not sustained that through the years [which means I am severely rusty]. Plus, I’m a “web developer” not a “web programmer” and I’d rather develop the business end of a web site than concentrate on the nitty-gritty detail [translate: I am not known for having a lot of patience for things that require longer than an hour to create].

When I started Kalesa ni Maria on a different platform, it was easier because all I had to do was change the CSS file [the colors and logo images]. However, when I started this blog, I knew I wanted something that reflects more of my personality. I edited the original Seabeast template and made it my own, adding modules, widgets, and changing all graphics associated with it. On my own, by my own concept and time. I realized that hey, I can be patient when I want to! Well, I was psyched to have my very own independently hosted blog where I control practically everything that goes in or out of it.

I love my piggly wiggly cyber pet, My Kikay girl rocks and I certainly hope that one of the first things readers notice is my “Girl Talk” section [if I can help at least one woman in an abusive relationship get out of it I'd be very happy].

So, DO VOTE FOR ME AT THE BLOGGERS CHOICE AWARD! The awarding ceremony will happen at the PostieCon in Las Vegas fall this year. Don’t forget, the link is http://www.bloggerschoiceawards.com/blogs/show/411. See who else have voted for me.

Thanks!
