Slowly improving my appearance
Wednesday, October 25th, 2006
I’ve been playing with several areas on the site and trying to improve the way it looks and the way you move around it. One of my greatest finds recently has been Xara’s graphical software suite. I suggest trying out the demo’s as they produce some excellent software packages. I’ve been using Webstyle to create buttons effortlessly and what’s more they look good (as opposed to my own efforts!) I’ve only just got into Xara Xtreme but it is a great vector graphics drawing application. Their instructional videos are excellent. It’s everything I need without the expense of Photoshop.
Which leads me on to my next purchase, a Wacom Intuos graphics tablet. It’s only just arrived so I don’t know what it’s going to be like. It’s sat next to me at my desk right now, taunting me…
draw with me, draw with me…
I even added Google AdWords which you should be able to see to the right. I don’t expect to make any money from it, it just helps add some extra interest to the site and it’s another thing I can help people with in the future if they need it for their own sites. Just the fact it is relevant to my site content makes it an advertising medium I’m actually quite happy to have around.
Anyhow – time to get back to work.
