I can’t seem to decide on what I want my business cards to look like. It’s always twice as hard when you’re designing for yourself.
Please leave me a comment on which one you like best. Thanks!

The time has come to update & organize my files because…I just purchased the 20″ 2.66 GHz iMac!
It was really easy transferring all of my files from the old eMac to the new iMac. However, Font Book did not update/import my font library and collections.
I have almost 3,000 fonts and did not want to start over importing them 1 by 1.
Online research lead me to try FontExplorerX. So, far it has been great! It searched my hard drive and automatically imported any fonts that it found. FontExplorerX is more advanced yet easier to use than Font Book…and it’s FREE!
Listed below are a few great resources on Font Management that I’ve found:
• PSDtuts tips on FontExplorerX
• An 8 page review of font managers for mac OS X
• Undo Font Book
• The Basics of Leopard Fonts

If you can do it on mySpace you can do it in your blog posts!
You can easily add video (into a page or post) from any source like photobucket or YouTube. Here’s how:
Expand your “kitchen sink” by clicking on the icon
You will now have more editing options. Choose the “Insert Media” option:
A new menu will pop-up. Insert the “Direct link” from Photobucket (or whatever service your using) and enter the proportional dimensions of how you want it to display.
The preview window gives you a pretty accurate of how it will look.
Click “Insert”
It’s that easy! It will show up like this…

The easiest way to embed a YouTube video into a blog post (or page) is to copy the video’s embed code and paste it into your blog post.
YouTube embed codes can be found next to any video on YouTube.com:
Make sure you are on the “HTML” tab.
On your blog, the video will show up like the one below.

This little scenario makes me want to pee my pants laughing!
I’ve seen it floating around the internet in multiple places. It’s worthy of re-posting.
I am not opposed to charity or non-profit work, but this scenario makes my skin crawl! I have had many, many, many folks to put me in this spot. Now, I know what to do.
A Special thanks to Colabtees.com for the genius creation of this treat…and http://www.designbyrds.com/ for sharing it with me!
