The Best Brush Fonts for your Designs Go see Web Designer Depot this week for the most awesome brush fonts. These are only 5 of the 20 listed. We're Giving Back As you know, I resell HostGator web hosting servers. More specifically I resell the space that I rent on their servers. And I am able to offer it to you at a great rate ($20 annually) and provide service second to none. (not that I brag or anything.) Plus, I actually set up your email for you and other services, so if words like "CPanel" make you squirm, come see momma. :) That was totally off point … [Read more...]

I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

February 20, 2010

One of the things that gets away from me is my desktop. Not my real desktop, which is my lap most days, (donations toward a proper chair can be made directly) but the computer's desktop. When you start up your computer there is the starting screen - that is the desktop. And if you do any amount of downloading or uploading or typing, you can end up with quite a mess on there - all my most commonly used programs are on there, my windows vista sidebar, calendar, pretty picture, commonly used files, recent downloads, a few files, and a few zipped things which I haven't managed to open … [Read more...]

Newsletter-Style Week-In-Review

February 14, 2010

For Your Readers: You will learn lots from these little slides, but your readers, whether pro- or anti- Twitter will appreciate this. This is a slideshow, 140 slides, with one tweet on each one - that is 140 characters - easy peasy. They are the best wisdom and guidelines for twittering. It will answer the "Why-on-earth-do-you-do-that?" types, and be eye-opening for the newbie tweeter. http://zubeta.com/twitter-M.html For Design Inspiration: It seems that every time I go site-surfing to find a graphic, I stumble upon more great designing websites and online magazines. My reader is … [Read more...]

Strawberries Are Gluten Free

February 13, 2010

Because Strawberries is my site, I have little to no time to fuss on the design, but I wanted to improve the SEO of the site, so I put Thesis on there. Save for the rotating images (on the front page) and header, the rest is basic select-an-option from the thesis options panel. The fonts, colors, everything - is right there for you to select with a click of your mouse - with NO coding needed! Interested? Click the Thesis button in my sidebar to see the pricing options. Or, click here for more information on my Thesis-based designs. See the site here: Strawberries Are Gluten Free … [Read more...]

Fresh Clean Minimalist True-Blog Inspiration

February 9, 2010

I have to admit Melanie's input was integral to the finished product. She came up with the gorgeous graphic, and after I tried (I think I'm picking up a pattern here) to submit several designs with 'more', I finally caved and created the minimalist design she was after. And I can't believe how gorgeous it turned out to be! This is based on a Thesis theme, and will be able to keep her site loading quickly, and search engines updated. In her introductory post, Melanie talks a lot about the 'soft peacock blue', but I want to know what you'd call this pink/red/fuschia color! Fuschia … [Read more...]
