New project - Mac Links

Saturday, May. 26th 2007

mac links websiteI am pretty much a Mac Geek, my current collection includes a 24″ iMac, PowerBook G4 12″, eMac and an old (but still going strong) iBook Clamshell (indigo).

Recently I was looking for some Mac sites and it struck me that it would be good to create a resource of all the Mac related blogs, news, forums and download sites, so here it is - Mac Links - I have of course added a little flyer promoting it on the wall.

worn & weathered tutorial added

Saturday, Oct. 28th 2006

I have created a tutorial - 10 steps to add worn, weathered, distressed effects to artwork in Adobe Photoshop. The tutorial is the same process I use to create the flyers on the home page, though it could also be used with other graphics or small photographs.

welcome to the flyer wall blog

Sunday, Oct. 15th 2006

It was always in the back of my mind to add a blog to the flyer wall, and this is finally it.

This replaces the original static news page which although served a purpose to a point wasn’t the easiest to update quickly.

I had a few problems creating a theme that had the same look to the rest of the site, partly down to my lack of experience with wordpress and also the original CSS layout. In the end I adjusted a theme created by ‘Scott’ over at plaintxt.org so many thanks go to him, I will be adding a flyer for his site to the wall at some point over the next few days.

Over the course of time I will be adding various news and information, hopefuly on a regular basis.
