One can never get tired of WordPress themes or have too many of them ready to use. I collected a fresh batch of WordPress themes, most of them are very recent. They all work with WordPress 3 and these ones are all white. Now that Jetpack plug-in was released for self-hosted WordPress sites, theme makers [...]
This week a selection of business card tutorials and templates. The days that we only had a phone number to give are long gone. With Twitter, Facebook, weblogs, emails and the old fashioned phone number, everyone should carry a business card. Actually you should carry more than one, one for professional purposes and one for [...]
It’s time again for a fresh batch of popular and lesser known icons. If you regularly create a lot of websites, you can’t have enough icons in your resource folder. My favorite sets are always those that are minimalist and contain off beat icons that are not web related. On this list my preference goes [...]
Following the last two posts on forms, I’m now listing 10 fresh HTML and CSS templates. They are ideal for implementing a modern form, while not all templates listed here are HTML5, you can replace the old doctype for the newest, <!DOCTYPE html>, supporting HTML5. After all remember that the new doctype is backwards compatible. [...]
With the increasing better support from browsers for CSS we can rely more on code for content presentation. I noticed that a lot of websites don’t look farther then the design and typography. It’s good practice to include images with your articles and weblog entries. But many people don’t think about enhancing photos and using [...]
In May last year I published The Best Minimal WordPress Themes. Since I can never get enough of minimal design or WordPress themes, I’m publishing a part two. This time they are all free and most of them for weblogs and one is light gray instead of white. Enjoy these ‘new’ old themes, and I [...]
With a new year it is time to give my personal weblog an update. First I just wanted to re-align my current design, but once I opened Photoshop I decided to start from scratch. I bought Pictos font a while ago and I downloaded a free font from The League of Movable Type. If you follow my postings you know I’m a fan of minimalism.
Following last week Photoshop Christmas Tutorials, are icons and brushes. With nine days till Christmas you still have some time to design cards, wallpapers, table seating cards, gift cards, etc. The great thing about Christmas icons and brushes is that the design doesn’t go out of fashion fast. You can use icons and brushes designed [...]
Sixteen days until Christmas, time to get those digital Christmas cards designed and e-mailed. It’s equally personal to design your own card from yourself or your company to mail to others as it is sending a regular card signed by you. Personally I tend to do both, digital and regular card. The holiday season is [...]
I came across a selection of icons and fonts that are not extremely popular yet. These icons and fonts are of super-b quality. Picto Foundry for example is optimized for the retina display on iPhone 4 and for use on the iPad. There is also a commercial selection available. Discons and Minicons are excellent minimalist [...]
One of the best ways to learn how to use Photoshop and to keep up to date with new techniques, is to work on tutorials. It is amazing how far Photoshop tutorials has come along the last nine years. With a lot of practice most people can create wonderful things with Photoshop from a small [...]
Last week I posted about 7 handy cheat sheets to help you code your own WordPress theme. This week I’m focusing on books that go into all details. The web is full of ready made tutorials, even though they explain how something is done you can just copy paste it to use it on your [...]
