Blogging Idol, the competition that challenges bloggers to see how much they can raise their subscriber count in the space of one month officially began yesterday.

ProTycoon.com is in the running, although Daniel did forget to add me to the competition page, hopefully by the time you are reading this I have been added.

There are over 100 bloggers battling it out to become the blogging idol and only one chance to win the $3000 prize.

The level of bloggers in the competition varies, there are a lot of blogs at a similar level to this one, but there are also some brand new blogs, as well as some very established ones with over 900 subscribers already.

There is an RSS Limit of 1000 subscribers so that the competition can focus on the smaller blogs and stop the blogs who already have a big influence stealing the prize.

I am pleased to announce that work on the new ProTycoon.com theme has been completed and we are now live.

My previous design was a hacked at version of the StudioPress Theme from DailyBlogTips.com. It was a good theme but I was looking to get something a bit more original and professional looking.

I would like to say a big thank you to Rajat Bhadani from DesignSaurus.com who has done a great job designing and implementing the blog. If anyone is looking to get their blog redesigned in the future then I would highly recommend them.

The new theme incorporates our logo from the previous design as well as a professional sidebar.

The theme has been checked for bugs in several browsers, but if you notice anything that is not working please contact me with details of the problem and the browser that you are using.
