So many of you who have being reading Blazing Minds lately will have noticed the competition that has been running with some free Blog Engage accounts, now I thought it would be a great opportunity to bring you the news on the new design and layout that Blog Engage has not long implemented.

Blogging Community, Blog Engage, Gets A New Look!

Blog Engage has become extremely popular over the years that it has been running and it was overdue a makeover, so @Bbrian017 got the ball rolling with a complete redesign of Blog Engage and boy oh boy is it looking so much better.

Its new crisp, clean and blue layout, makes the Blog Engage website look so much more professional and easier to navigate and even vote on the articles that are submitted to Blog Engage, but it still has all the functionally that it previously had.

It’s Not Just The Main Site!

Not only has the main site had an overhaul, but the Community Blog, where guest bloggers can have their say by submitting posts that other bloggers can and generally do find extremely useful, in a vast range of subjects, I even guest post there myself on the odd occasion.

Now some time back I was reading though the blog over at BlogEngage about a contest that was being run “Four $50 USD prizes to win at blogengage“, it’s also where I noticed that Brian was using RaffleCopter to run the competition, which I do like the look of and may use it myself sooner or later, anyway I digress.

So I gave the contest a shot and tweeted, likes, followed etc to do what I could to enter in to the BlogEngage contest, I must say that I was able to follow some brilliant bloggers that are on BlogEngage through the contest and it was fun doing it

What A Brilliant Way To Start 2012 With An Announcement From BlogEngage

Then today I had an email of Brian, I was one of the four that had won a rather tasty $50, now how brilliant is that

Those of you that do read my blog will have seen my articles on BlogEngage and how I use it to find some interesting articles to read and also as a source of inspiration and help from fellow bloggers, it’s a community of a lot of give and less take than some other communities you could find and it’s the friendliness of everyone there that has kept it going in the years that it has been running.

So I would like to say a big, big thank you to Brian and BlogEngage for making my day today and I would also like to congratulate the other three winners of their $50, so it’s a big congratulations to:

• Mohammed Salmanbaig
• Zain Ali
• Jeevan Jabob John

And thanks again Brian and BlogEngage for a lovely surprise and a great start to the New Year
