The Weblog Awards are the world's largest blog competition and My Opera (thanks to Postman Pechkin) is a finalist in the "Best Online Community" category. You can help My Opera win by submitting your vote today!

It's soon Christmas Eve, which kicks off an annual holiday celebrated around the world. We would like to use this opportunity to wish everyone on My Opera happy holidays!

The Desktop Team have also released a Christmas Edition snapshot of Opera, so why not check it out?

Happy holidays from the My Opera team.

These blog themes are free to use for all My Opera members. Feel free to experiment with different current themes. Some fit better than others (I personally think the combination of a black top menu and the "Opera" theme is a good one). If you want to use it on your blog, follow these simple instructions:
