In September, we introduced you to the new BlogHer.com design. We are thrilled by the enthusiastic feedback we've received. Since then, we've continued to make improvements (with more to come in 2011).

We'd love for you to dig in to BlogHer.com and tell us what you think. And since it is the season to give, we also want to offer you a chance to win some great prizes after you've taken a twirl around the site. Each week until the end of the year, we’ll be offering a chance at a fabulous prize for your feedback!

BlogHer 10 atendees

This week, let's start with the homepage. As Denise described in her original post, we made these changes not only to be colorful and inviting, but also to make it easier for you to find more great content.

One of our favorite parts of the new homepage is Featured Members. Every day, we read what you write on BlogHer.com and showcase three posts. You make it difficult for us, because you're sharing such great content with the BlogHer community!

Another recent addition to our homepage (and our topic pages) is a box with hot headlines from BlogHer's publishing network. In addition to BlogHer.com and BlogHer conferences, we have a network of 2,500 bloggers who publish some of the best content on the internet. This is one way we show off some of the brilliant work they offer up each and every day.

We hope you’re liking the new BlogHer.com homepage and finding interesting stuff to read every time you visit. Take a moment to share a comment below, and tell us what you like best on the new homepage. Maybe even share a link or two to something you've enjoyed reading or learning about recently.

How to play: Comment below by 5 p.m. PST Sunday, December 19, 2010 to be eligible to win a full conference pass to BlogHer '11 in San Diego. We'll enter all the comments into a randomizer and choose one lucky commenter to win. Comment as many times as you want (new comments please, as duplicates are ineligible). Click here to read the official rules. Good luck!

This contest is now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered! We will announce the winner soon. And please check back on Monday for our week 2 contest and your chance to win an iPad.

Congratulations to Celeste Lindell who won the BlogHer '11 Conference Pass!

Sort of new to BlogHer but love all y'all are doing! The new homepage is crisp, clear and easy to navigate! The new sponsored posts (ie: pioneer woman) section is also very cool and I love how well connected you can be to the community on here too!

I cannot believe how much BlogHer has grown and changed over the years. It makes me proud to be one of the original members and original (former) editor. You've come a long way, BlogHer! ♥

I won't have to try my mullet for donations fundraising campaign. This girl would not look good with a mullet.
