What a hectic and empty week! It took a few days to get the Wordpress issues sorted out, and during our off days, we really didn’t want to post anything and risk screwing up the database somehow. So, because of this, we missed my promised new article, along with this weeks Friday Focus. So to get back into the swing of things, here is Friday Focus #24, temporarily named the Saturday Slice for this week. Sorry for being late!

Sites of the Week

First up this week is Designgive. Similar to Threadless, artists will be able to submit their designs, but with each purchase, up to $3 of the cost will go to the charity of your choice. I urge everyone to submit their designs to benefit some great causes!

Next up is Amy and Chris’s journal at Mushytime. I discovered this by accident while browsing a portfolio, and I quite like it.

And topping off this Friday Saturday focus, is the recently launched homepage for Dan Cederholm’s (of Simple Bits) icons. The icons are small, affordable, and perfect alternative choices to the frequently over-used Silk icons from famfamfam these days.

Design - Colorjack
A quick and easy way of getting color schemes by using this “color matching sphere”. I first found it a few weeks ago and though it was pretty cool myself, but I still have yet to use it.
