		<description>I just came across your site (well, actually, the universe just  aligned and I found you!) - I have been working on web design all by myself.  When I first started teaching elementary school I developed my own site on Microsoft Frontpage - you can check it out at http://www.mrsyemmasclassroom.com.  I have now switched careers and I am a Holistic Health Counselor.  I help women who struggle with low energy achieve more confidence with cooking delicious, nutritious whole foods and putting themselves first without guilt!   I am also a superfoods educator, writer and teacher.  

I spent all summer designing my website on my mac and then I found out from a friend, well, this is what he said:

Your website should be filled with more text not just images that have text. Search Engine spyders read text and &quot;image tags&quot; aka an alt tag.
This would increase your SEO (Search Engine Marketability) &amp;
Increase loading speeds.
You should meta tag your website with a title, description and keywords.
This will help increase traffic.
Some of your pages have errors on them. Some pages froze my computer a few times. This may scare away potential clients and visitors. (See the bottom right of your browser for error message)

So when I was told this I felt the stress on my shoulders BIG TIME!  I have been spending  a lot of time on my website which is not allowing me to get out and run my business - which is educating and supporting women/moms/families/teachers on how to love healthy foods and healthy living.    

I have been looking at wordpress a lot lately and would love to have my website have the errors discussed above be corrected.  I love designing my site, but I am not a website designer and don&#039;t understand what the errors even mean.  

My business mainly comes from the internet and having a website that shows up on any browser would be WONDERFUL!  I can&#039;t do it all on my own...I need to outsource, so I&#039;m thrilled that I was guided here to you!  

Yay! :) 

Oh, and I have a host at dreamhost.com and they are set up to switch over to Wordpress.  And, I really dislike that my site is www.santeliving.com but it gets redirected to another long name - drives me nuts!! lol.</description>

		<description>I am entering your contest in hopes there is a small chance that we may win.  Our company was founded by myself and my good friend Monique.  We are both stay at home moms with a love for baking.  

Charis Creations features Gourmet Gluten Free and Dairy Free (and some Vegan too) baked goods, recipes, gift baskets and more.  We can&#039;t wait to touch the lives of those we serve.  Monique and I created our company because we know how hard it is to &quot;suffer&quot; through a food allergy.  It involves constant label checking and trial and error tastings.  We wanted to help eliminate that process for others as much as possible by providing people with a one stop shop for products.  From resourceful information such as health facts, to recipes and video tutorials, we hope to touch on every aspect of that lifestyle change that so many people are reluctant to make!  

Our site is not about us, it&#039;s about others and our main goal is to serve our visitors and customers in the best possible way.  By upgrading our blog to a Wordpress site, we feel we would be able to offer to others what we are lacking now and bless as many people as we can in the process.

Thank you for your consideration!   

Krista and Monique

		<description>Hi Heather!!!

Thanks so much for this amazing offer!  I am starting a business called &quot;My Humane Planet&quot; that will include an array of resources, products, recommendations, recipes, etc, that all promote and keep the earth and it&#039;s inhabitants healthy, happy and humanely treated.  I would be honored to have your help and magic touch in the design aspect! 

-a generous portion of the proceeds generated from the site will be donated to various humane groups.

-I&#039;m creating this site because I feel there is a need for alternatives to mainstream products and clothing, for people who care about the Earth and animals but still wish to live a modern lifestyle.  I think Oprah said it best, and the motto of the site will be, &quot;how we treat the least beings among us, determines our humanity&quot;

-I also want to promote products that are not only better in in all ways for the environment, but work ten times better than traditional mainstream products.

In addition to all of the other applicants, I absolutely LOVE your designs and definitely want an inviting and friendly feeling associated with my blog, who wouldn&#039;t?!

Lastly, I moved back home to live with my parents to save money while I put this project together, and having the financial assistance would help me out a great deal and mean the world to me!

		<description>Why I&#039;d love to win this giveaway:

1. My site is self hosted but I don&#039;t know diddly about WP. PHP, CSS, etc are all way over my head. So I&#039;d love your WP theme so that I wouldn&#039;t have to try to learn that stuff. I&#039;ve tried. I&#039;ve bought the books but every time I opened one to learn this stuff I kept falling asleep!

2. I&#039;m using a free theme now that is supposed to be feminine but it&#039;s not really me and doesn&#039;t feel very feminine to me. I don&#039;t want a canned theme that everyone else out there has!

3. I&#039;m a SAHM to 4 kids (two of them twins) that designs jewelry but I don&#039;t ever sell it and I need to. I don&#039;t have the time to do craft shows etc. with 4 children. So I need to be able to sell from my site and blog about it. I&#039;ve had my web site for years but haven&#039;t done anything with it. So I need to be able to blog about my designs and inspirations. Which is tough for me as I tend to not be verbose. I also really need to contribute to the family income rather than take away from it!

4. Most importantly, I want a blog design by a woman made for a woman. I really WANT you to do it because your designs are simply exquisite! Even if I don&#039;t win I&#039;d still like to hire you and glad I found your site. I like women empowering women.</description>

		<description>This is so exciting.  I just happened to stumble on this beautiful site by accident and so happy that I did...your designs are the cutest and most creative Ive seen.
I have been a SAHM for the last 5yrs with my son and now that he is in Kindergarten I want to start a blog that can inspire and enrich the lives of others/moms...but at the same time...it has been so long since I have done something just for myself.  And BOY, do I need this opportunity.  I have so many wonderful ideas, a teaching degree, a scrapbooking and writing background but just havent had the time to &quot;get the ball rolling&quot; so to speak, lol.
THis would be a dream for me...something I could call my own and go from a SAHM to a WAHM.
Last...in this tough economic time...my husband will soon be layed off his job, as he is employed in the auto industry and this would just be a gift for my whole family.
Thanks so much.... :)</description>

		<description>I have come a long ways in a year with my food blog and I&#039;ve even been lucky enough to partner with companies like Kraft and Walmart.  I would love for it to reflect that professionalism but with a warm and welcoming feeling. 

I wouldn&#039;t say I need it but it would be something that would make me happy.  It makes me proud when people come to my blog and I would love for it to be inviting to everyone.

Good luck to all.
