I have two questions that maybe someone can help me figure out: 1. How do we log in again? I never remember what our username/passwords are. 2. When I take an image from my illustrator mock up to dreamweaver, it loses a LOT of color intensity. In dreamweaver and in my browser it just looks dull even though I'm saving it with the maximum quality. When I open the image in preview it has the original intensity. I chose really bright colors, and my website will pretty much flop if they appear this dull online. Thoughts? Can we add “troubleshooting” to this category??

Maybe I'm way behind the times and you all know and love these Dane Cook-esque tutorials, but then again, I'm guessing we're all in the "S.S. News Laggard" boat together. Anyway, check em out for fun, quick photoshop tutorials! http://www.mydamnchannel.com/Big_Fat_Brain/You_Suck_at_Photoshop/YouSuckatPhotoshop1_398.aspx Ok, here’s something I discovered today.

It's more focused to designers getting a job, but I think some of it is worth reading when thinking about how to design our sites. Either way, it's always a good refresher on job ap. tactics. cheers! http://www.designmadison.com/self_promotion_guide.php Hi all –

This is about communicating to an audience, not doing something just for an audience of one. Absolutely correct Tim.

It is about making available information/opinions that a person finds interesting, and in the process indirectly documenting his/her interests, opinions, skills, and personality.
