What’s the best way to try out a new service? To try it for free! That’s why today I’m very excited to be offering a massive $25,000 giveaway here on Psdtuts+ for readers to head over and spend on ThemeForest. All you have to do is give us your username (you must have a registered account for us to credit) and a link to your favourite file, and the first 2,500 entrants will receive $10 each on their account – that’s all there is to it!
The great thing about this promotion is not only do readers get to try out the site for free, but all our awesomely talented authors will make more money!
Update:The giveaway has finished!
Accounts will be credited in the next few days and an email will go out to all participants!
Wrapping up Web Design Week
So with this post, Web Design Week is coming to a close! It’s been some week, 6 articles, 4 tutorials and about 20,000 thousand words. It took me way longer to write than I’d planned. When I started I told Cyan "I’ll just write one article", then it became "just three", then a week, then a week with double posts some days! Oh well, if nothing else I got my post count up again, gotta keep up with that Sean Hodge character!
The unofficial theme for the week turned out to be separation. In our tutorials we separated layouts from style and background choices to show, and in our articles we looked at how web design itself can be separated up into different parts. In case you missed any of the posts, you can find links to them below.

VideoHive is Online
You may also be interested to know that today we have just launched our fourth Envato marketplace – VideoHive! The hive is really just getting started so it’s a bit more of a soft launch than some of our others. We’ve ported over 700 or so motion graphics videos from FlashDen and added two new categories – Stock Footage and Project Files which will start filling up over the coming months.
… And if you’re into Video and After Effects, then you’ll be very excited to know that Skellie is almost ready to roll out AETUTS in a matter of days. So it’s going to be a big finish to 2008 for us here at Envato!

This website is bullshit. 12 months ago Collis announced the Rockstar WordPresser. Now he’s waiting for release 2.7, next it will be waiting for release 3.0. I learned how to do WordPress themes buy going to other blogs. I noticed that you haven’t had one complete post on this because it will take away from people buying your ebook, which you continue to fail to release. Now they fucked this giveaway up as well. I signed up for this when there was no comments on this post and I still haven’t got my $10 dollar credit.
I hate to be harsh but you guys can’t even run 1 website right let alone 12 website. Do yourself a favor and take a customer service class at your local college.
I tried to cancel my account today because of this bullshit and paypal can’t find my subscription and there is no way to contact you about this from my login page. Paypal says that I should wait for you to charge my account and then dispute the charges. Give my a break.
I have 10 themes I was going to upload to Themeforest but I don’t have the time to put up with this. All I will be doing is signing up for more of this bullshit. I’m moving on to sell them elesewhere.
STOP BUILDING WEBSITES AND GO TAKE SOME BUSINESS CLASSES!
Just saw this. Probably too late, but I was out of town for a few days. Absolutely love Theme Forest and this would be awesome.

Sorry, but there was announced that the money was handed out when all spots were fulled, and even then it would take them a couple of days to pay out to everyone. So don’t be harsh eventually its free money (which is covered in one great marketing stunt, so no need for business class)
