Make it worn - Template
Posted on 6 September 08, in design, downloads
While doing the Make it worn series I received quite a few requests for a template based on the design I created. Most of you requested a Wordpress template. And while I don't have that, I might have something else for you.
First: I am not a Wordpress specialist. Actually, I don't have a lot of experience with Wordpress at all (Textpattern baby!). So creating a Wordpress template would be difficult even if I wanted to. Which I don't: the intention of the Make it worn series was to show you how you can go about creating a worn looking website, not to provide a free template. Although you can use it as such if you like.

offlife

It’s a been while since I’ve posted. As much as I’d like to apoligize, I’m not sorry at all :).
Since last fall I’ve spend so much time behind computer screens that it was time to cut back for a bit and experience offlife (life offline, not sure if the term exists. If it doesn’t, I hereby claim it’s invention!) for a while.

Featured in Web Designer magazine
Posted on 25 April 08, in subdued, design
Last night I received a comment saying that I'm featured in the latest issue (143) of Web Designer magazine. I've never been featured in a printed magazine, so you can imagine I was thrilled!
What I'd expect was a small mention, maybe even a tiny screenshot along with an article on one subject or another, but when I got my hands on the magazine this morning I found out there was a 2 page spread dedicated to my site!! Hooray!! :)
