The past launch week has been insane and we’ve been super busy with changes; but I’ve had more fun than I can imagine in the longest of times (which is lovely because that’s one of the only few sustainable things that work in life).
One of the neatest parts is just realizing (again) how blessed we are in our ability to do what we are doing and how we can be a blessing in other people’s lives. The way I see it, and the way that the Scriptures tell us, we are to be a blessing and pass on those blessings constantly.
Our challenge and delight is to how best to give; a great place to be.
As a starter, we’ve announced a number of free giveaways all across the 8BIT Network and have a few more to give this week. Ready?
ChurchCreate – Billings 3!
We’re giving away 3 copies of Billings 3 over at ChurchCreate.com. Make sure to follow the instructions to get your loot on!
We hope this application can help some of you this year!
ChurchIT – 1 Year of Media Temple Hosting!
We have loved using Media Temple for our dedicated hosting and have found them to be a superb and valuable partner; we’d love for someone else to join in the fun.
We’re giving away a free year of Media Temple hosting over at ChurchIT! Get your host on.
ChurchDrop – iPhone Giveaway!
Yup. We’re giving one away.
We’re super pumped about the growth of the mobile technology space over the last year and we believe this blog will provide an extremely helpful resource for us as a community.
Head over there to enter to win.

And I like a few of them, but Mortar would be great for my book review site.
Switching my church’s site (www.mountainvalleychurch.net) to WordPress and would love the Woo theme! We’re a church plant and don’t have any money
Free is AWESOME! Retweeted at http://twitter.com/ghicks

Always looking for some new wordpress thmes. http://twitter.com/stefantribble/status/8825704959
I’d love a new WooThemes theme just because I love their designs. They’re way better than anything I can do at this point.
Forgot to provide tweet link
http://twitter.com/amazingjonathan/status/8831509767
I’ve checked out WooThemes for the past 2-3 months, and just wish, just wish I had the cash to splash out and purchase a WooTheme.
The themes I have in mind are:
Optimize
CoffeeBreak
The Station
Cushy
Geometric
Open Air
And WooThemes are of an exceptional quality, unlike many themes I have come across in the past.

I would love WooThemes but I got StandardTheme which already rocks
Would love MediaTemple instead
I wonder how one hosting solution is better than another (besides reliability and speed)
awesome J.C.
who’s J.C.?
http://twitter.com/Lori520/status/8852266718
I am drooling over some of those themes for my book reivew site. This would be awesome.
At first I wasn’t going to go for this giveaway as I already have enough themes. But a missionary family in El Salvador our Life Group is partnering with could use a blog facelift (They’re using a blogspot one right now. Blech) and this would be perfect.
http://twitter.com/jaycaruso/status/8858075571
I could use these themes for my upcoming site designs for clients!

Like I said, I’d love to be able to give them something new.
http://twitter.com/jaycaruso/status/8902038455
I’m currently working on a friend’s website and would love a piece of that developer’s license so I can use a WooTheme!
WooThemes are great-looking. It would be great to be able to use them on my blog to give it a much better look.
http://twitter.com/gambillchris/status/8950729354
Have you seen my site? Of course I need some awesome WP themes!
I’d love to have one of the WooThemes! I’m a Christian music photographer and have finally been badgered into starting up a blog to share my photography and experience with the community instead of just doing everything on my flickr account.
A friend of mine will host it for me, but I’m on my own for everything else.
I have been looking for a great theme to start with and I just love the Woo stuff.

Woot! Woot!

Ok, here we go again for Thursday. I want to give the missionary couple in El Salvador a nice new theme for their blog.
http://twitter.com/jaycaruso/status/8986477517
