In Review, Upcoming and a CodeCanyon Contest

Jarel Remick on January 15th 2010

Generally when we do a giveaway, the winners are announced the following week. Last week’s Myows giveaway was so popular we had to close the comments in just 24 hours! In addition to that, Myows generously gave away 100 paid accounts, which would’ve made for an interesting giveaway announcement (that’s a lot of names!). So, to cap off this week, I’ll be doing something a little different.

While pondering ideas to cap off the week, I thought it would be a good chance to take a look back at the popular posts over the last couple weeks as well as some of the upcoming posts and contests. Also, I would never leave you guys without a tasty morsel of contesty-goodness if I could help it — so read on to see what goodies you can grab from CodeCanyon.

In Review

Now that I’ve picked up the reigns here, I’m gaining speed and planning some great stuff for later. So far though, these are a few of the posts that have been most popular.

As a digital media author and HTML/CSS template reviewer at ThemeForest.net, I know first hand how frustrating copyright can be — especially for those who pay their bills with the works they create. It’s difficult, at best, to keep an eye out for people infringing on your works let alone attempting to do something about it. Even worse, authors can be accused of copyright infringement by those who may know nothing about it, causing serious problems for (an often innocent) author.

CodeCanyon Contest!

As a web developer, I’m always watching for new files at ThemeForest and CodeCanyon. The CodeCanyon marketplace has lots of great web application elements and even some full blown web applications. These are some great items to include at Web.AppStorm occasionally, even if they are a little more developer-centric.
