John Chow dot Com Version 3
written by John Chow on September 9th, 2008

Keep your eyes open for a new John Chow dot Com. Version 3 is coming! Expect to see the new theme before I leave for IZEA Fest this Thursday.
As I write this, Unique Blog Designs is putting the finishing touches John Chow dot Com V3. I really like what Nate Whitehill and his team has produced. The new theme will offer many new features and help to reinforce and promote the John Chow dot Com brand.
If all goes well, I am hoping to launch the new theme tomorrow. Failing that, the new theme will goes live during my “Big Money Bloggers” panel at IZEA Fest. Keep an eye out for it and if you’re going to IZEA Fest, I’ll see you there!

John,
Reply to this commentKeep us posted on your new design. I hope it helps you to increase your monthly income several times!
Yeh John,
Reply to this commentDo you think that this will help increase your monthly income serval times???
Would a new theme on my entrepreneurs blog increase my income or should I wait till I have more readers????
Ddamn I still cannot understand how a new blog design can increase earnings!
Reply to this commentAbdul,
Just sit back and watch John hit $40K easily next month. Yo won’t be dissapointed.
Reply to this commentAbdul, the design matters a lot. Besides content, I think that the design of a blog is the most important thing in blogging.
Just wait to see the version 3 of this blog. I`m sure that John will earn at least 40K every month with his new visual theme.
Reply to this commentYou’d be surprised, it doesn’t look like John is doing anything too radical however moving a few key elements and making a site a little more user friendly does wonders. The same applies to moving advertisers sometimes all it takes is a small movement in ad placement to make or break it.
Reply to this commentCan’t wait to see the new design. The guys over at UBD do a great job.
I am going to have them do mine whenever my blog brings in that kind of income. In the meantime, my modified Fresh News theme from Woothemes is doing very well.

Reply to this commentI was thinking the same thing.
Reply to this commentHow much did they charge you John?
Reply to this commentJust the normal rates?
I get a special John Chow rate.
Reply to this commentOH you mean free
Reply to this commentthose guys do good work, can’t wait to see what they’ve come up with next
Reply to this commentThe screenshot that John posted looks like the design is same and there is just a switch of layout!
Reply to this commentWell let’s see if the rest of the theme is I think it is!
I remember you telling me this. I can’t wait to see it. The top preview looks so much better than the top of the current layout. Much more organized & clean.
And I see you added the Twitter follower widget.
Reply to this commentI wish we were going to Izea Fest, we were supposed to but plans fell through
Reply to this commentI’m interested to see the design as well. Make sure to keep track of some of the different traffic and ad metrics. I’d be interested to see the analysis of what the changes do for you.
Reply to this commentYea I’m pretty curious about that!
Reply to this commentWhat effect could a design have over traffic and income?
Although it could impress many visitors at first sight!
And I thought this one was cool.
Reply to this commentLooking forward to the debut.
I personally didn’t like what they did for shoemoney’s new theme. mainly because it doesn’t load properly in my old broswer
Reply to this commentWhich browser are you using? It works great in the new versions of Firefox & IE.
Reply to this commentlookin good.. hopefully it’s creative yet at the same time simple..
Reply to this commentLooking forward to the new version and new features. I am a fan of the current John Chow, but change is always good.
Reply to this commentNate and his UBD team do some amazing work. They did a great job on my blog.
Reply to this commentHopefully they found a way to put more ad space on it. if there’s one thing this blog is lacking John it’s advertisements
Reply to this commentThe preview looks great. Hope to see it live tomorrow but will settle for when it actually goes up.
Reply to this commentThats Awesome John , I am waiting to see your new design
Reply to this commentShoemoney gets a new design from UBD last week and now John Chow. I thought you were above the whole keeping up with the Joneses thing.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Reply to this commentCool! Looking forward to the new design. Is this partially happening because of theme compatibility with the newest version of wordpress?
Reply to this commentNo, UBD was working on the new theme before the new Wordpress came out.
Reply to this commentLesson number 177564 from The Master: when a thousand different blogs in your niche change the theme to copycat yours, is about time to change once again!
I hope you are ready for V4 already!
Let’s bet: how long will it take to the copycats to change themes to look like the new John Chow V3??
Reply to this commentCan’t wait to see the new design. I hope it will be cleaner; current design is slightly too messy with ad placements…
Reply to this commentSounds great look forward to seeing it, and make sure to take some videos at the fest.
Will.
Reply to this commentThough I don’t love everything they do their work is excellent for the most part.
Reply to this commentUBD simply dominates blog design. Looking forward to see the V3 in action
Reply to this commentLooking forward to seeing your new blog design John.
Reply to this commentGreat looking theme from what i can see… I really like the top area.. looks a lot less cluttered and more professional. Keep up the great work with johnchow.com ..
Reply to this commentThe new theme is starting to look really good just from what you have shown us. I edit my theme in little bits as I can afford it. $15 here, $30 there…soon it will be just hw I want it.
Reply to this commentI don’t quite see a need for you to have a change, maybe you just give someone else a chance to promote their stuff.
Reply to this commentI can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Reply to this commentDefinitely excited to see the new one…seems like this one isn’t very old but I’m sure they will do a good job.

Reply to this commentCan’t wait to see it. I have been impressed with UBD for some time, I am sure they will construct something monumental.
Reply to this commentNothing yet
I do like the change you made to the top bar, looks a lot better.
Reply to this commentI really envy about you john, wish i could purchase that thing
Reply to this commentjohn, what are some things that you had to consider before even thinking about having a new design created? maybe that should be a post for those who may consider changing their design or change it in the future.
Reply to this commentWooow John, your new blog will have a striking design!! It will have a very clean design.
Reply to this commentCan’t wait to see it. I really enjoy Nate et al’s work!
Reply to this commenti’ll wait for new design.btw how its look ?
Reply to this commentI think that when v3 comes out im going to stay a way for a bit….let everything settle down. I think the top commentators will be fierce. i see the Steven has moved up from his self-proclaimed 3rd
Reply to this commentIt looks great, navigation is great, ads are better placed, color are nice, wow!
Reply to this commentFantastic look John. Sure wish I could afford one of those fancy UBD looks. Last time I priced one out my eyes popped out of my head. Worth every penny, just can’t afford it
Reply to this commentQuite unusual theme, but interesting
Reply to this commentNice redesign.
Looking forward to seeing you at IZEAFest here in Orlando - it’s about time the Chow express made it down here. LOL
