I was linked this by Pat and thought that it was absolutely ingenious.  I will have to try it out sometime since I never want to make a whole cake to let lots of it go to waste.  This is great for a single person!

Smashing Magazine has compiled yet another list this time of some great uses of LARGE typography.  The list is, as usual, extremely long but contains quite a few really great examples of the way typography can be used as a very effective design element.  Check it out here. I particularly like the work that Chris Garrett has done for his website.

So I was reading Bittbox earlier today and came across the latest post by them entitled 25 MORE Reasons You Might Be A Hardcore Graphic/Web Designer and thought that some of you people that very rarely frequent my blog might find it quite interesting. I personally get number 10, “You’ve had a client ask you to “Make the logo bigger.”” quite frequently. These are hilarious, give them a read. I am sure some of them fit you too.

So I finished the layout of my website and decided to make it into a Wordpress theme to help facilitate the maintenance of the website.  Using Wordpress as the backend of the website allows all of my content to be managed from one centralized control panel and allows for me to make quick and easy changes to pages without having to open anything but Firefox.  Browse around and let me know if you find something that is broken as I am sure there are odd little corners of Wordpress that I totally forgot to theme. =]

I have been plugging away at the HTML and CSS of my new site design.  It is available for viewing here.

Obligatory first post post!!!!   More to come!
