As most people will now know, British Style Bloggers is growing up, and this summer we will be a whole year old... to celebrate, we're trying to redesign and streamline the site, by creating new graphics and a new community section.

So, to celebrate, we'd like you to help design us our brand new logo.

Although we love the logo we currently have, designed for us by the lovely Claire Napier a very long time ago, growing up is growing up - and who better to help us come up with a new design than our fabulous readers?

So, what do I have to do?

Come up with a brand new logo for British Style Bloggers!

It must follow the below criteria, however:

- must be square (and at least 500 pixels by 500 pixels)

- must be in keeping with what we're about!

- must have legal attribution for all particulates (as in, please don't steal someone else's work and use it or incorporate it!)

- must be absolutely fabulous!

Then, just email it to amy@britishstylebloggers.org.uk before August 16th!

Can I get any extra points at all?

If you're feeling especially creative, you could always design a new header, too; 900 pixels wide. It won't count for extra, officially, but it might draw our eye to your design for a little longer!

What do I win?

Obviously, we will use the design you submit, and you'll be added to the "Staff" listing as the official BSB logo designer.

The overall winner will also get a pair of Coco Rose London shoes - with second prize receiving a £20 Coco Rose voucher and third prize receiving a £10 voucher.

How will it be judged?

All designs will be printed off and taken to the BSB Birthday Meet Up, where members will choose the deserving winner and two runners up.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This competition is open to UK residents only. You must be willing to legally allow British Style Bloggers full rights to all work submitted, which will, of course, be fully referenced. BSB is not liable for any delays incurred in the reception of prizes.

Questions?

Ask away! Otherwise, good luck!

This is the first news letter that I've sent out to the BSB mailing list - join it by entering your email address in the box just to the side.... ;) -->

Hi, everyone!

Well, I think that I should probably explain, first of all, that I've got some new mailing list software on the site (as I guess you've seen, if you've signed up for this)(or... if you registered and *I* signed you up, you might not... woops!)... so I'm going to try to send round sort of semi-regular update messages...

If you don't want them any longer, let me know... and I'll play around with the software to try to work out how the hell to remove you from the mailing list! ;)

So, on to the point...

First off, I'm closing registration for Blog Of The Month (http://ukstylebloggers.onsugar.com/page/96256) THIS SUNDAY - you have until then to register. It'll then go to a vote, and the winner gets a guest blog spot, and a link in the soon-to-be-built Hall of Fame on the site!

Secondly... guest blogs! Thank you so much to the lovely Florrie, whose piece about Luella is giving me a run for my money as a fashion editor! You can read it here (http://ukstylebloggers.onsugar.com/4704635), and register soon if you want the chance to have a guest blog slot (http://ukstylebloggers.onsugar.com/4586603), because once the first Blog Of The Month goes up, I'm probably going to limit guest bloggers to them.

Probably.

Thirdly, press. Miss Fashion Whore (www.missfashionwhore.com) wrote a post about us - and I've put it up in the new Press section (http://ukstylebloggers.onsugar.com/page/101885). If you've posted about BSB, email me a link and a screen shot, and I'll put it up there, too! :)

And... on to the actual point of this message... There was an article today in the Guardian about Teenage Bloggers (http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/sep/09/teenage-bloggers)... hands up if you're one...? It was talking about the vast influence that teenage bloggers have in the world at the moment... and so I was wondering who you think that the most influential teenage fashion bloggers/writers are?

Drop me a message, telling me who and why - as well as your name and URL, and I'll try my best to make a post about it!

That's all folks!

Hello, my lovelies!

Well, in order to boost the number of people seeing this site - and in order to give the Blog of the month spot a bit of a boost, we're currently looking for guest bloggers. Yes, I know; that's what Blog of the month is supposed to be (the winner gets a guest blog and a spot in the Blogroll Hall of Fame (as yet not built... sorry sorry!), but I think that for the first few weeks I'm allowed to break my own rules, right?

There are no rules about where you have to be from to participate - however if you are an international blogger, firstly, whoa, it's odd you clicked our link... But welcome! We love you! And, secondly, it would be really great if you could write about British Style... an international eye would be really great!

So, how do you get involved?

If you want to write a guest blog post for us...

1. Leave me a comment on this blog with your blog URL, and a pitch for your guest blog space here - don't forget to tell me if you're a member, and where you're from!
2. I'll get back to you if we want your idea!
3. If we do... then you'll post it on your blog, and give me the link. I'll then post it here, and link back to you...
4. And everyone's traffic goes up!

Yay!

It's a win-win, if you're up for it!

Leave me a message!

Welcome, welcome, one and all to British Style Bloggers!

British Style Bloggers exists for one reason alone; because its creator got a littlebit bored one summer, and dediced that she would quite like to get to know other British Style Bloggers.

Actually, tht's a little bit of a lie.

It exists for two reasons; firstly, that its creator was bored. And secondly, that its creator came across a site called "Romania Style Bloggers", but Google didn't turn one up for British Style Bloggers. And there have to be more style bloggers in Britain than Romania? Surely?

Hmmm.

Well, even so, British Style Bloggers materialised OnSugar in the summer of 2009, and is looking forward to a happy future of categorising British Style Blogs, to help people find their new favourites, and Blog of the month, to help its creator get hrough her A-levels without dying of boredom.

We have a button - but the only way to get th HTML code is to sign up!

British Style Bloggers would like to thank Art Graveyard most profusely for her kind donation of one of her photos, which became or logo in August 2009.

British Style Bloggers was created by Lipstick Royalty Magazine and Confessions Of A Fashion Editor's Amy Claire Thompson (SaffiyaScarlett) in August 2009.
