toot design competition!
I don’t know if we ever mentioned this before, but we here at toot are not only interested in providing the best content, but we’re also interested in making sure that this great content is represented in a visually pleasing manner- you know, eye candy!
So, we decided to run a competition to choose the best designed blogs on toot, and there will be some cool and valuable prizes to snag. So go ahead, tweak your blogs, sugarcoat them and add a little razzle dazzle before the competition starts!
Update: Here are some tips from tooter and design guru Ahmad, “To the toot bloggers I say: throw out the “fancy stuff”. Clean up your pages. Organize your content. Get your fonts in shape. And make it legible and visually interesting.”

Razzle dazzle this! :)
