Forty-something.com is an Award Winner!
Posted by Blanca in 40, My projects on January 7, 2009
Just before Christmas I was happily surprised to learn that my website http://www.forty-something.com/ was selected as one of the finalists of “The Best of SynthaSite” contest.
A couple of hours ago I found out that it is the Award Winner in the ‘personal category’ from more than 1,000 entries from around the world … and I am totally thrilled with the news.
There were two categories in the competition – Business and Personal – and the top 5 finalists in each category were selected by a panel of expert judges who evaluated each site for focused purpose, visual appeal and innovative use of widgets. The winners in each category were voted on and selected by friends and users of SynthaSite.
You can read the press release issued by SynthaSite here.
Thank you very much for your support — this one is dedicated to all my forty-something friends!!
Vote for my website!

As I wrote a few weeks ago, I decided to stop moaning about the fact that I am turning 40 very soon and decided to put my thoughts on the subject into a website. (I confess that I am still whining occasionally, though!)
My idea is to slowly create a useful source of information for women in their 40s, hence I called it forty-something.com.
Earlier today, while checking the site’s traffic statistics, I realised that there has been an unusually high number of hits since yesterday. First thought is that the server was being hacked. But when I checked the referrals, I happily realised that the reason for so many visits is that the website has been nominated a finalist on the “Best of Synthasite” competition (Synthasite is a great tool I used to build the website.)
So, if you have 5 minutes, please go to: http://bestof.synthasite.com/personal-websites.php and vote for http://www.forty-something.com/
If not for me, do it for all the 40-somethings you know out there!

I am very excited with my latest online project: www.forty-something.com. I decided to stop moaning about turning 40 and put my thoughts to some good use by creating a website dedicated to all 40-something women out there.
This is a live project, so what you find now on the site is just the beginning of what I hope will become a complete source of information and articles covering everything that is interesting for a woman in her 40s: beauty, fashion, health, jobs, romance, shopping, etc.
There is little out there that targets women by age, so this should be an interesting project with – hopefully – good potential.
The site includes a shopping section with gift ideas and more.
Take a look and let me know what you think!
