Premium WordPress theme developers Theme Galaxy are giving away two free licenses to their newest theme, Lyra. This new theme (shown below) features a creative illustrated design that may be just right for your blog.
Here is Theme Galaxy’s description of Lyra:
All you would expect from a blog. On the homepage there are featured blog posts, RSS subscriptions, a bit about the author, recent headlines, comments and category listings, your twitter and flickr feeds and a large tag cloud. Lyra also offers you the opportunity to change/rotate the header image between 4 different options.
If you’re not familiar with Theme Galaxy, they currently have five different premium themes to offer, and developer’s licenses are available. Lyra normally sells for $80, so this is a nice prize for the winners (At the time of this publication, all themes are on sale for $60. I’m not sure how long this promotion will last).
How it Works:
To enter to win one of the free themes, please leave a comment on this post with a valid email address where you can be reached (only one entry per person, please). Tomorrow (Friday) I’ll choose the winners randomly and they will be contacted to claim their prize.
Good luck!
UPDATE: The contest has ended. Our randomly selected winners are Frederick and Mario. Enjoy the theme!

Wow, excellent news. Good luck to everyone.
January 10th, 2009
The coupon code didn’t work for me just now. Isn’t it active yet?
January 10th, 2009
Okay.. I posted a comment here just asking if it was possible the coupon code hasn’t started working yet, why was it necessary to remove that comment?
- And, I’m still trying to purchase the theme, but the code still isn’t working.

Geth,
I didn’t remove the comment, it was held in moderation, which I think you saw after your 2nd comment. I was away for a day and unable to get to the comments until now, sorry for the delay. Anyway, I’ll email Dejan and see what he says about the coupon code.
