Halloween is Almost Here

Happy upcoming Halloween and thanks for visiting our blog!
We appreciate you’ve come here instead of decorating your
home or preparing your Halloween costume and we think
you should be rewarded for that!
With this in mind we’d like to invite you to enter a Halloween contest.
If you know any site that has been especially decorated for the Halloween season, you have great chances to win a Free Magento Theme and 1Year Free hosting (domain name included)!
Keep in mind the winner can choose any web design by Template Monster. So you can either choose a Free Magento Theme, a Free Wordpress Theme or a Free Joomla Template.
It depends on you what web page design you need. However, we think most of our readers are looking for amazing Magento Themes.
Please hurry up as the contest is open until 23:59 Thursday, October 29, 2009.
So make sure you enter it before it expires.
Gifts Magento Themes and Where to Find Them
With Halloween approaching we’d like to share Gifts Magento Themes we could find on the net.
If you wonder who may need Gifts Magento Themes, the answer is more than obvious: online retailers who sell various gifts, including Halloween gifts, Christmas gifts, Birthday gifts, etc. At the same time we shouldn’t forget the web designers who have been asked to create online gift stores.
The Gifts Magento Themes you’ll find below can be customized if necessary. Hopefully these designs will come in handy because Halloween is a perfect time to build online gift stores and make them successful. However, you’d better hurry up as Halloween is almost at the door.

Magento and CMS Showcase Galleries
If you search the web you’ll find hundreds of web design galleries. However, just a few of them showcase CMS-powered websites. The situation is even worse when it comes to
Magento-powered sites.
We could find only one CMS showcase gallery that accepts sites built with Magento eCommerce platform. It’s called CMSWebShow.com.

We encourage you to visit CMSWebShow.com and submit your site for inclusion into this
showcase gallery.
Once accepted, your Magento-powered site will get a quality back link that will bring more traffic to your site. Also, your site will be a source of inspiration for other Magento designers and site owners.
