If you show advertising on your website / blog, or are thinking of doing so, this is something you need to know.
I’ve just removed what little advertising there was on my blog. The ads were shown below my category list, and included just four simple text link ads (two for print cartridge retailers and two for web template sites).
To celebrate the 1 year anniversary of my graphic design blog, I’m launching this bumper giveaway to thank you all. You’ve helped make this site what it is today and here are the fantastic prizes up for grabs.
Whatever side of the NoFollow / DoFollow debate you’re on, I’m sure you’ll be against spammers and junk commenters. Here’s a useful plugin that can help reduce spam comments left purely for that ‘followed link’.

Brian Gardner recently asked me, and some design friends, five questions related to design and blogs. Here’s the short Q and A session.
Ilker, of The Thinking Blog, recently left the 4,000th comment here on my site. I like to feature each person who leaves a milestone comment, to thank them for visiting, and for participating in the discussion. I also think it’s a good idea to celebrate your blog milestones, and this is a way of giving a little back to you at the same time.

I think it’s important to celebrate those little milestones that keep us going, and I’m sure that without your interaction and excellent comments I wouldn’t update my blog on such a regular basis.
Having started my blog last October, it won’t be long before the one year anniversary. To celebrate, I’m running a graphic design / marketing / branding / SEO / blogging prize giveaway, with the aim of thanking each and every one of you for your valued contributions, subscriptions and site visits.
I recently contacted a few niche experts, asking if they could get involved and offer a prize. The result so far has been fantastic! You really don’t want to miss out on this one, and thank you so much to everyone giving their valuable time to help.
I use WordPress to power my website. One of the benefits is the number of plugins available. They’re simple to install and can improve your blog’s user-friendliness and functionality.
