My friend, HongKiat, is having a contest to giveaway 3 premium wordpress themes from FlashMint.

How to win the free premium themes?

All you have to do is head to the FlashMint’s wordpress themes list, pick a theme you like and tell them in the comment box of the blog post.

The contest will be closed at Monday, 27th April 2008.

FlashMint wordpress themes

There are only 10 wordpress themes on FlashMint. Each cost USD$55. 7, all of them have very similar layout, with differences in theme colors and graphics used.

Though they are suitable for CMS, cooperate and personal blogs, none of them is my pick. Ah.. I am picky one!

If you would like to get any of the premium theme for free, drop your comment at the contest page. Good luck!
