Bit by bit I’m getting organised with the setting up of a blogging network. At this point in time there is I’m With The Band and Cool & Stuff on the list, and hopefully a few more websites will be coming online shortly as part of the network.

Fueled by a couple of strong coffees, I’ve some how managed to sketch up 5 different website designs in my web design Moleskine this morning. Hopefully over the next few days or so I can start putting the designs together, code wise that is. I’ve always been into playing around with website design and development but until recently the...

Yesterday I spent a very long day in front of Taco HTML Editor, in combination with Firebug and Transmit FTP, putting together the final coding touches to a new clients website.

Found this in the post today as well, with the dumb Amex letter, and all I’ve got to say is; Thanks for the check Google! Granted it’s not a huge amount of money, $138.91 Adsense earnings since January 1st, however it pays for the hosting of this website and my other websites for 12 months so I definitely cannot complain. A majority of... (more...)
Recently, and I don’t know why it didn’t click earlier, but I’ve been noticing a lot of website design credits in footers of websites, ie. Website Design by Freelance Matt. To me this seems a little strange as you’ve hired a builder to build you something, when you get a house built you don’t have a permanent ‘This... (more...)
Vintage and Retro website design, graphic design, and photography are very hot right now. I’ve actually been playing around with putting together a video tutorial for real grain effects in Photoshop, hopefully coming online soon. Anyway, overnight Smashing Magazine put together an awesome resource on where you can find 35 Beautiful Vintage... (more...)
