Logos and buttons for newbies

Need a logo or button for your blog or site and don’t know where to begin?
You could do worse than checking out cooltext.com. It’s easy and you can come up with something quite nice. Looks like it’s powered by Gimp, if you rather have a standalone program. It’s free.

For extra bored people there is now TwitterVision, I guess it was inevitable after posting about FlickrVision in March, you can now watch ‘live’ what everyone is twittering all around the world.

Gravatar p00f… again

Wondering why I saw less and less gravatars in the comments here (including my own) I logged on at their site and surprise surprise, no pictures. Both avatars I uploaded before are gone. So yeah, no wonder they don’t show up. If you’ve been wondering why yours are missing you might want to check as well. Make sure to log on with your email address in lower case and use your email address in lower case for comments around the web as well, that seems to be one reason for glitches. Apparently the whole gravatar site code was recently switched from ruby on rails to php so maybe something went wrong during that process. At any rate, try again… again.

Tell Sell ad

Right here on the new Automattic blog for publishers;
We of Automattic recommend Akismet, by Automattic.
Wow, that’s such a pro tip.
They’re right of course, Akismet has pretty much saved blogging fom the clutches of spam, but that doesn’t make their ‘pro tip’ any less funny.

phpBB3 Gold released

Wow, I somehow totally missed this. Upgrade time!
But first I’ll have a look around and see what themes have been created for it over the past couple of months.

Work in progress... not home!
Trying to get all/most of the new code working before I start on the eyecandy.
