Data point: Blogger now has over [to be said in your best Dr. Evil voice...] 1 Million Registered Users. Mwahahahaha...

Finally: Buy a domain to go with your Blog*Spot Plus site! Buy your domain through BloggerDomains and you will have the ability to point the domain to your Blog*Spot Plus site. Reasonably priced at $24.95 with 24/7 phone support, free email forwarding and more. I think 'thebestblog.com.org' is still available. Impress your neighbors. Search for your own domain...

BTW, you can also now point a previously purchased domain to your Blog*Spot Plus site. You must point the DNS servers there (or have your registrar/ISP do so). And then you just make an entry in the Blog*Spot domain admin form [screenshot].

Hey hey, the winners of the Persian Top Weblogs Competition have been announced.

And the winner (of the Blogger redesign contest) is... Kevin Conboy! We are very excited to work with Kevin to implement his design concept over the next weeks (we're going to keep it as a surprise). Thanks to everyone who participated in the design contest...we were impressed by the work turned in by everyone. The final decision was difficult, but we look forward to the new Blogger site, and hope you do to. Congratulations, Kevin!

Looking for another design contest? How about the 2003 SXSW website competition? Deadline for entry is December 6th. SXSW Interactive was a sponsor of the Blogger Redesign contest.

As our winner, Kevin will receive a Gold Pass to the 2003 SXSW Interactive and Film conferences, $500 to help defray travel expenses, a Blogger messenger bag, and one year of Blogger Pro.

Redesign Contest Update: Last Thursday we sent responses to everyone who expressed interest in entering the contest. Unfortunately, a number of the e-mails have been returned to us due to full mailboxes, bad addresses, etc. We have tried to make contact with those people once again, but in some cases have failed. If submitted your portfolio but still haven't heard from us, this is the reason. If you haven't heard from us and want to know if we tried to send you the documentation, e-mail contest AT blogger.com

Design Contest Update (see below): Due to the overwhelming response we've received, it's taken us a few extra days to check out all the potential designers who are interested in our redesign contest. We're not blowing you off, honest! We'll be sending responses to everyone who submitted their email/URL over the next two days; we just didn't want anyone to worry. If you are interested in signing up for the contest, better do it now... (also, I re-enabled the form that wasn't there on one of the servers) we'll stop taking names at midnight tonight so that we can distribute the design materials to everyone at the same time.

Update update: The applications have been filtered, and specs have gone out. There were some amazing applicants. The deadline is in a week (from tomorrow).

Calling all Designers: Blogger.com needs a facelift! We're getting ready to release some major changes and improvements to the Blogger application, and we think the occasion calls for a long-overdue update to the Blogger.com site design. In order to get this done at the same time, we've decided to hold a contest for designers who would like to take a stab at what they think Blogger should look like. Learn more...
