formspring.me
Mar 4th
I have been looking over several new, starting up, social websites. It’s no secret that the best way to get noticed, and the best way to promote oneself is using social networking these days. We all have a facebook, many of us have a facebook GROUP or a FANPAGE made for our blog/company/product and it works well to an extent. I’ve seen blog posts on web promotion recommending the use of stumbleupon, digg, and other popular bookmarking sites.
Here is an interesting new site. Formspring.me has made itself known to me a few months ago when my friends on facebook started posting links to their accounts.

kuler – Adobe’s version of Color Scheme Designer
Feb 7th
Kuler is a great tool for all designers. It’s really similar to the Color Scheme Designer in the aspect that it composes several colors for you to use in your design.
It has several other features that make it even BETTER than CSD but there are tons of features missing too. Let’s start with the good stuff
When your project fails…
Jan 31st
So, let’s say you’re working on a project. It’s filled with your blood, sweat, and tears. You’ve been working on it through nights, barely sleeping at night, drinking large amounts of coffee during the day to stay up. Putting all into it. But then everything goes wrong.
Well, we’ve all been there, many times. If you’re a web-developer, it’s a natural part of your life. It’s a natural part of mine too. Let me tell you my story.

Creating a Blogging system (part 1)
Jan 13th
Some time ago (a couple weeks), I created my own blogging system. No one told me how to do it and I didn’t read any tutorials on how to do it either so there were a few things I learned the hard way. As you know, Blogs are database-based, they’re all entries in a table.
You have an entry for the id, date, the content, and miscellaneous other information such as tags, and description. In this tutorial, I’d like to teach you how to do all that.
