I can’t remember where exactly, but I came across this while browsing the web one day and it caught my attention as I’d been thinking for some time now about having a checklist for projects. And here it is. Tick My Boxes, The Web Developers’ Checklist.
I was watching Ramsay’s Kichen Knightmares USA on Friday night and it got me thinking that as web designers we can learn so much from the kitchen maestro extraordinaire.

I was short listed for the best newcomer award but Trust Tommy ran away with it. Congrats Tommy and well done to all the other winners.
I didn’t attend the event myself but it looked like a good night.
My blog has been shortlisted for an Irish Blog Award; Best Newcomer – Sponsored by Teamworkpm.net.
Happy days! Thanks Damien and all the judges involved.
The Irish Blog Awards are Saturday 21st February 2009 at the Cork International Airport Hotel (sold out).
Arguably this trend was made popular after the release of Apple Leopard OSX and it’s groovy auroral/starry branding. Adding this simple effect to your background or header can make a very plain dark web design come to life.
Check out this list of 20 websites using these effects plus a few helpful tutorials.
Thanks to everyone you took part in the survey.
As I’ve mentioned previously, I’ve just completed a masters in Multidisciplinary Design. And apart from The Big Word Project, Web Designire, blogging etc. I’ve been working away on something special. That something special has now been launched. Introducing Lookaly.
I recently finished MA Multidisciplinary Design at the University of Ulster that I started back in September 2007. Often I get asked by various students and others what the course is like and if it is worth doing. So I thought I would write a quick summary and review of the course to help out any budding under grads or people thinking about taking the course.
I just finished reading The Unlimited Freelancer; an eBook by the guys at Freelance Folder, that I was lucky enough to receive for a review. It’s a guide that delves into becoming the ultimate freelancer, covering an introduction to freelancing, putting automated systems into place, building your team and ultimately making a lot more money 
I started the year looking to write a few guest posts for other blogs and not just my own so I approached Michael from Pro Blog Design with an idea for a post.
The post takes a look at what you should do after installing Wordpress and acts as a checklist that you can use to ensure you’ve changed and activated all that you should do for each of your Wordpress sites. I came up with the checklist initially for myself but thought it would be useful to share, especially for beginners.
