Hello everyone, it’s been a while since I was last interviewed so it was nice for one of my recent clients to interview me and give his readers an insight to how I work.

You can view the interview here.

Let me know what you think by leaving a comment!

I was reading yesthat’s recent post and they linked to an extremely hilarious website called “elfyourself“. I was then just looking through some recent pictures that had been uploaded to Flickr and iJustine had a photo that she just uploaded which looked so perfect to ELF! Check it out LOL!

Wooohooo! Finally I can now drive! I am so pumped! I just thought I would share with you all because I made a post a few months back about passing my theory test. So now I have finally passed after my second attempt at it

I’ll have something more worthy to write about soon!

If you haven’t noticed yet, FeatherCode are our new providers for all xhtml/css coding that we receive from clients. I’d like to thank Tyler - the founder of FeatherCode - for giving me the chance to speak with him about the proposition, and I hope that it turns out to be a fun business partnership which I am confident it will be.

So, as of now. One page XHTML/CSS here at FWD will only cost you $75.00! Now is that cheap or what!

Thanks for reading again folks, I think this is a new record with me posting a good few times the past couple of weeks. I hope to keep this run going. If you have any suggestions for posts by all means give me a shout or drop me an email.

Hi everyone, this is just a post that I have got together to see what everyones habits are when working away at your computer. I’d like to start off by giving you an insight to what I do and yes, I am trying to doing them!

Firstly. The major habbit that I have when designing is having my left hand pinky finger on the shift button (one under the return/enter button) and the rest of my fingers on the arrow keys. I’ve just recently noticed why I do this and probably some of you do it too. When in Photoshop, to move layers faster you can hold shift in and move the specific layers up, down, left & right. So, I’ve came to the conclusion that I do this because of this reason.

Another habit of mine is sitting on my chair like the position below:

I don’t know why I do it, but I always find it really comfortable and sometimes can work against me as I get overly comfortable and less productive, so I am trying my best to find a new way of sitting!

Last but not my biggest habit of all is cracking my knuckles. I guess this can be a generic habit on a day to day basis, although when working I do it ALL the time. Not very good for the ol’ hands, so I guess i’ll try my hardest to stop that aswell… (doubt it very much though).

So, what are your top three habits that you ALWAYS do when working at home on your computer. It’d be appreciated if you could comment

Hello everyone, like I promised on Twitter. A new feature or ‘micro-feature’ has been added to Flockey.com. Something that will hopefully attract even more wonderful clients and bring back a few clients from previously. Introducing Flock’A'Buck.

Flock’A'Buck is going to be a place were previous clients can go to. All they have to do is simply enter in the URL of a previous design that we designed for them and they will get $100.00 off their next design with us :)! This service would only be used when the client would be looking to get a design done after submitting their URL.

The Flock’A'Buck feature is valid for every major service that we offer here such as; web design, forum design & wordpress blog design.

So, thats it really. Check it out and by all means take advantage of it :). Be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed.

Hostpear is run by my good friend Josh Craddock and I was lucky enough to work on the hosting design that you can see live on Hostpear.com. For ages Josh has been working tremendously hard trying to get Hostpear online and finally he has done so.

He’s been pestering me for ages to get an introduction post for him done, so here it is Josh :p. Below is some words written by Josh himself:

“I know what your thinking by now, “oh god not another host.” We aren’t a web-host offering Unmetered Everything that will crumble after a month and do a runner. We have huge dedication to our clients, offering 24/7 guaranteed support.

We currently offer 3 Packages, Bronze, Silver, Gold. No prizes for guessing whats what. You can view all of these packages on the website.”

So there you have it, words by Josh himself letting you know a little bit about Hostpear. If you want to know any more info on Hostpear, you can view a thread which is listed at TalkFreelance. What you waiting for? Get signing up with one of the Hostpear packages and be in with a chance to win an iPod nano!
