Reminder – Most Pimped Out Blog Competition!

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

hey everybody!

just gonna remind everyone that Website of the Week competition is still on. And until we have collected some nominations the theme of the week is still Most Pimped Out Blog. More than one week has passed and I know, we should be select a winner already but with yet only one nomination by William, it is simply not gonna happen yet. It is only fair to give all crazy looking blogs out there a chance for nomination and world domination – at least when it comes to winning the one and only title of Website of the Week’s Most Pimped Out Blog.

So c’mon. I want to see some nomination. Nominated blogs do not have to be the most professional looking or graphically pleasing. I want to see color and outrageous unique web design.

Nominate blogs to the Most Pimped Out Blogs competition by commenting on this post and adding name, nominated website and current hosting set up (if it’s your website that is! Don’t go checking whois.org if you’re not the owner!

Time for the Weekend

Friday, October 17th, 2008

Hi Friends!

I gotta tell you guys that it’s been a rough week with lots and lots of work for me. Late nights and early mornings – you all probably know the deal… There is really only one thing that can pick me up after a week from hell – hanging out with friends, having a glass of red wine and listening to some sweet sweet music (ok, that’s three things but all together they count as one). I’m somewhat of a geek when it comes to music and has been so for quite some time now. Or, my friends call me a geek – I would like to describe it as a passion for the good things in life. Anyways… In this post I’ll simply put down five of my favorite songs that keeps my energy level up.

  1. Graham Parker – She
  2. Bob Dylan – Like A Rolling Stone
  3. Entrance – Grim Reaper Blues
  4. The Velvet Underground – Oh! Sweet Nuthin’
  5. David Bowie – Suffragette City

Ok, that’s it! Nothing more, nothing less…

Have a great weekend!

The Importance of Great Web Design

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

It’s now the year of 2008 and still many sites look as if they were done in 1998 – why is that? I mean honestly, I can’t come up with any good answers to this question. Setting up a good looking site is easy as A, B, C nowadays and you really don’t have to be an expert web designer to do it. For no cost at all you can get the help you need, through various programs and software, and it’s simply just to follow the instructions. I’m looking forward to see what sites/blogs that will present themselves in the contest that my fellow blogger Brian announced earlier this week. If you don’t know what I’m talking about then please that a look at his latest post.

That’s all for this time.

Cheers!
