Happy Halloween you guys!Change Elite Blogger's layout. More organized, much :) Bats for background as tomorrow's Halloween! Most probably changing the background once Halloween's over.
And as promised, our competition picture is up!
Click to enlarge yeah! I thought it's a really sweet picture, with little editing already done to it. So simply do anything you want with it. Maximize your photoshop skills perhaps? Kindly submit all your entries by
23rd November, Sunday to
elitebloggers@hotmail.comCheck out our Elite Bloggers button under "Sign Up" :D
Here are some Halloween fun facts!
- The ancient Celts thought that spirits and ghosts wondered the streets on all Hallows Eve so they began wearing masks and costumes in order to not be recognized as human.
- Of all the candy sold annually, one quarter of it is sold during Halloween time (September – November 10) making it the sweetest holiday of the year.
- Halloween is the second most commercially successful holiday, beat out only by Christmas
- Of the pumpkins marketed domestically, 99% of them are used as Jack-o-lanterns at Halloween
- Approximately 82% of children and 67% of adults take part in Halloween festivities every year
- The official Orange and Black colors of Halloween came from orange being associated with fall harvest and black symbolizing darkness and death.
- There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with “orange”
I thought strange rhymes with orange though :/ And so does range. Hmm.
And I've replied to all emails, thanks!Before I end, here are some beautiful marvels of this world.
Bye & enjoy :D

Also,
I've replied to all emails! Thank you guys for the overwhelming response & participation. Thanks thanks thanks :DDDDDD
Elaborating more on wanting to help me run the site:
There are many competitions going on right now & I cant possibly judge them alone as that'll be unfair. So I thought of getting people to help me judge these competitions as well as come up with new competitions.
However, you cannot judge your own submission but that does not mean you cannot win it! Just want to be fair lahhhhhhhh. :)
To apply, drop us an email at
elitebloggers@hotmail.com or add me personally at
radattack@live.com by 25th October 2008, Saturday :D
P/s:Does anyone like Tokio Hotel? (:
