New Layout & Design!
Some of you may have noticed a big change here at International Giveaways…
I’ve completely changed the layout & design!!!
I’ve been thinking about changing the layout for a while… the old layout just didn’t fit with the needs of the blog anymore.. I wanted a more elegant design and more importantly, one where the widgets weren’t so cluttered and hard to find. I’m still working out bugs and changing and adding things, but I do hope that the blog is easier to use.
Since I’m writing a more personal post, I would like to thank some amazing volunteers who have really helped me out this past week and given me a chance to complete the new look: Ipeh, IK and Sarah. You guys rock!! Thanks so much.
For now, please do comment and let me know how you feel about the new design! Any thoughts/comments/criticisms are most welcome.
Thanks everyone!
Thanks so much everyone! I really appreciate your comments. 🙂
Lyudmila, I tried what you suggested but it doesn’t look good if the font is thicker. 🙁 I think it will have to stay this way.. maybe if you press ctrl and + it would help with reading in your screen.

I think it’s perfect now, Ronit! Keep up the good work.
Hi Ronit!
Wow! This is really beautiful template! Very professional and user friendly. Mazeltov and much nuchas for this blog makeover♥
Ronit whether there is an opportunity to make the letters thicker? With artificial light at night on a light background difficult to read.
Thank you!
Super blog! I like it!
I absolutely LOVE the new look! You did a great job!!
Thanks so much everyone! I’m really happy that you like it. 🙂 And I love getting messages from people all over the world!
Debbie, I made the font two sizes bigger. Is it better now?
xxoo,
Ronit
Wow, the new lay out and look is amazing!
Love it! Super classy! 🙂
Dear Ronit!
My name is Szilvia, I’m writing from Hungary. I just wanted to say thank you and that I really appreciate your hard work.
I also love your new design!
It’s like Spring 🙂
io sono una delle tue prime follower e devo dire che questa grafica la trovo bellissima… e anche facile nel reperire quello che cerchi… grazie per questo cambiamento saluti dall’italia

It’s so much more pleasant, Ronit. Really looks nice. The light background is much better than the dark one. The whole thing is just more pleasant. Oh, I said that already! Just one tiny thing. Any chance of making the font a little bit larger?
wow! loving your new LO 🙂
What a nice layout and thanks a lot for your great work!
yay nice layout ^^
I love the new design!!
Just like canadiangiveaways, I had problems with the old one using IE (I know, I knoooow, but I’m used to it…)
Thank you for all the hard work you put into your blog!
Best wishes from Spain 😉
What are you doing using Internet Explorer?? Crazy girl. 🙂
This is actually a free WordPress template that was converted for blogger. I’ve tampered with the css, html and javascript like crazy but it still looks very much like the original template. I got it here: http://bloggertemplateplace.com. They have a bunch of great templates which are actually converted from wordpress.
As far as entering giveaways.. gosh, I haven’t entered any in about 3 weeks at least. I think the bigger a site gets, the less time you have for entering giveaways.. (I used to enter all of them!) It’s upsetting bc I love to enter & support giveaways.
I do have some great volunteers helping me out now though, so maybe once I’m done tampering with the template I’ll be able to start entering giveaways again.
Write me any time to swap ideas! 🙂

Wow – I LOVE the new layout!! I always had problems viewing the old one properly in internet explorer. Is this a free template that you used? I’d love to know how people are getting their blogger blogs to look like wordpress blogs (I’ve seen quite a few lately!)
On another note, since my site is similar to yours, I’d love to know if you find the time to actually enter the giveaways you list. I went through a long period where all I managed was posting the giveaways submitted to me and never entering any – it just seemed to take so much time
I would love to swap ideas!
