Anyone following me on Twitter will already know this by now, but our big project, PliablePress, went live around 24 hours ago!
And it’s been great! It’s been crazy and I’ve been chasing things around everywhere and I meant to have this post published, well, 24 hours ago, but all of that aside, it’s been great.
We’ve had loads of great reactions to the designs, and even our first happy customers!
In this post I want to show you what we’ve done so far, share some videos of the framework in action, and offer you a discount if you want to become a customer!

(This is more of a personal post than normal. If that’s not your thing, sorry, but at least I warned you!)
My name’s Michael Martin, and I’m the person behind Pro Blog Design. If you’ve ever emailed in, tweeted, or left a Facebook message (or most likely, even if you’ve just left a comment here!) then you’ve talked to me before.

Want to know why so many of our clients in the past few months had to be turned away?
Want to see the biggest project I’ve ever worked on at Pro Blog Design?
So what is it? At its simplest, PliablePress means WordPress themes. But we’ve put everything into this, these aren’t simple little themes that you can turn out in a weekend.

This is just a quick post to let you know that we’re once again looking for writers, and this time, at a substantially higher rate.
The new rate is based on the feedback you all left a few weeks back. Big thanks to everyone who took part!
From now on, post authors will be paid somewhere between $70 and $125 for their work, based on the quality of the post. We’ll be drifting away from the list posts that some of you are getting a little tired of, and start focusing on more in-depth tutorials and discussions (And when you do see list posts in future, you’ll find a lot more value in them. You’ll see what I mean come Thursday!).

It’s been a while since we last asked for some feedback about who you are and what you think of the site. If you could spare two minutes to answer the polls below, it would really help us make Pro Blog Design even better!
There is also a reward for anyone answering the question at the end! Absar from ShopHTML is offering 20% off their PSD to HTML services to anyone who does!

Two years ago today I published the first post on this blog, a short discussion on making a good first impression (Something I’d obviously been thinking a fair bit about for starting my first blog!)
Now 2 years, 7000 subscribers, 188 posts, and 5 and a half thousand comments later, here we are. This is design number 3, and I’d love to hear what you think!
I owe a big thank you to everyone who has left a comment here, emailed me, subscribed or interacted with the site in anyway. It’s been a great 2 years, and I’m looking forward to many more!
We have a competition sponsored by Bizcard at the end of the post where we’re giving away 2500 business cards.

The title sums it up really, we are finally on Facebook. But we aren’t just setting up another automated page that does nothing more than pull in updates from the site. No, we want to give you a reason to join us on Facebook.
Intrigued? You might want to just go ahead and join in with us now then. Otherwise, read on to hear what we have in store.
