I’m testing the Flickr ‘Blog This’ feature. I think it might be a useful way to integrate Flickr and my blog, bypassing the whole photoblog idea. I’d love to be more involved with a photograhic community and photo projects, but I just can’t maintain a photoblog and Flickr account.

If I can get Flickr to post to a certain category, then this might be the answer.

I just wanted to publicly thank some excellent people that have helped make blogging and other online activities a joy.

Within a year, LaurenMarie has created an amazing resource on Photoshop, print design (including info on In Design) and has been teaching us the elements and principles of design. Her website Creative Curio is a great community.

LaurenMarie was a huge help when I redesigned my site, finding bugs and even roping Jerrol in to help fix them!

David is a pioneer in educating people (including potential customers) on logo design. His own blog, davidairey.com, has excellent examples of his work as well as useful design resources. His new blog Logo Design Love has also become an instant success.

It’s always nice to get comments and advice from David; he’s always thoughtful and considerate.

I haven’t “known” Gio for very long, but he always brings energy to a conversation, whether it be commenting or twittering. Thanks Gio!

Matt seems to be the web guru: he manages a bunch of sites, including his pink-loving wife’s blog (congratulations on getting married!), and I’m with the band. He’s into photography (yay!) and the Newcastle music scene. He also scored some free passes to the Forbidden Kingdom, and was kind enough to give me some, as well as offer some music related advice.

Thanks for your generosity Matt!

CSS Collection

I also want to thank CSS Collection for the opportunity to win a copy of Website Optimization… and actually winning it! (I very rarely win!)

Pelf

Pelf from pelf-ism is contagious. Thanks for all your comments on the blog and thank you especially for blogging and sharing your traineeship in America with us. It’s been awesome to learn about the terrapins!

Everyone

Thanks for reading everyone!

I subscribe to lots of blogs (and read them all). So, I hope that if you’re a reader here, I read your blog and comment too. If not, please leave a link to your blog in the comments and I will come over and hang out for a bit!
