Congrats to lucky submission number 167 belonging to Jen (@jlhenn) for being the winner of the very first EVRD giveaway and the now proud owner of a Flip HD Camera. You can view her winning submission here. Thanks to everyone that participated. We couldn’t have asked for a better launch day. Check back to the site over the next few days to see your submissions on the front page. And keep submitting. We love the stuff you guys generate. I’d be lying if I said we didn’t enjoy seeing everything you come up with.

The EVRD network was created as an extension/addition to Everything Random, a project started by Rivik Media.  Everything Random has been running for almost two years now, and it has been a hell of a ride.  From being started as an experiment and somewhat of a joke to it seeing over 60,000 people in a single day.  We have been trying to expand and grow the site but have hit a physical limitation.  Everything Random is hosted by tumblr (one of the best blogging platforms out there) but the site and our ideas have outgrown the hosted platform.  We wanted to have more control and freedom to build new features for our visitors.  Thus creating EVRD.

EVRD is a self hosted wordpress site that  will become the new ‘main site’.  Wordpress allows for a large, feature rich, and organized site.  We will be creating new and (hopefully) better features on EVRD and allow for more user interaction.  You can check here or on the official EVRD blog for updates.

Everything Random will remain on tumblr and stay unchanged.  It will still be updated regularly and function the same as it always have.

*note: this is not meant to be a bash on tumblr in any way, so don’t take it that way.
