John Chow dot Com Version 3

Make Money!

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 on 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!

Hoho, i just know about it. Looks like its really good. I prefer this version than previous one.

Nice redesign. :)

Looking forward to seeing you at IZEAFest here in Orlando - it's about time the Chow express made it down here. LOL

I'm a locally-based travel writer, so if you need any restaurant recommendations or other visitor tips, let me know.

Quite unusual theme, but interesting

Fantastic 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 :(

It looks great, navigation is great, ads are better placed, color are nice, wow!

I 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 :mrgreen:

i'll wait for new design.btw how its look ?

Can't wait to see it. I really enjoy Nate et al's work!

Wooow John, your new blog will have a striking design!! It will have a very clean design.

john, 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. :!:

I really envy about you john, wish i could purchase that thing :wink:

Nothing yet :cry:

I do like the change you made to the top bar, looks a lot better.

Can't wait to see it. I have been impressed with UBD for some time, I am sure they will construct something monumental.

Cant wait to see the new JohnChow!

It will be interesting to see what they were able to came up with.

Looking forward to seeing the new design. UBD have been releasing some fantastic designs recently so I'm sure it will be top notch.

Looking forward to seeing your new theme!

I love the work the guys at UBD do.
I will look forward to seeing your new site....

:smile:

Looking forward to see new theme :)

John,
That is cool that you are getting a new design. I can't wait to see it.

Hey John,

How much did u make in revenue this month for your blog?

-Oliver

This month has just started. The blog made $32K last month.

Definitely excited to see the new one...seems like this one isn't very old but I'm sure they will do a good job.

I can't wait to see how it turns out!

I don't quite see a need for you to have a change, maybe you just give someone else a chance to promote their stuff.

The 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.

Great 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 ..

Looking forward to seeing your new blog design John.

UBD simply dominates blog design. Looking forward to see the V3 in action :mrgreen:

Sounds great look forward to seeing it, and make sure to take some videos at the fest.

Will.

Though I don't love everything they do their work is excellent for the most part.

Can't wait to see the new design. I hope it will be cleaner; current design is slightly too messy with ad placements...

Lesson 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??

Cool! Looking forward to the new design. Is this partially happening because of theme compatibility with the newest version of wordpress?

No, UBD was working on the new theme before the new Wordpress came out.

Shoemoney 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.

Thats Awesome John , I am waiting to see your new design

The preview looks great. Hope to see it live tomorrow but will settle for when it actually goes up.

Hopefully they found a way to put more ad space on it. if there's one thing this blog is lacking John it's advertisements :twisted:

Nate and his UBD team do some amazing work. They did a great job on my blog. :)

Looking forward to the new version and new features. I am a fan of the current John Chow, but change is always good.

lookin good.. hopefully it's creative yet at the same time simple..

I personally didn't like what they did for shoemoney's new theme. mainly because it doesn't load properly in my old broswer

Which browser are you using? It works great in the new versions of Firefox & IE.

And I thought this one was cool. :roll:
Looking forward to the debut.

I'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.

Yea I'm pretty curious about that!
What effect could a design have over traffic and income?
Although it could impress many visitors at first sight!

I wish we were going to Izea Fest, we were supposed to but plans fell through :(
