Relaunched freelance site
Filed under 29digital, Personal on 4.05.08
Yesterday I pushed out a new version of my freelance site, the first new design since 2005.
Objectives
When I originally launched the site, I intended to regularly update the ‘corporate’ blog, but in the end I only managed half-a-dozen posts before apathy set in.

Link: bigger clickable CSS areas
Filed under 29digital, CSS on 13.05.05
I’ve reposted my original How to make clickable areas bigger over at 29digital – it’s attracted some decent search traffic here; hopefully it can do the same thing over there.
Link: making a simple button
Filed under Design, 29digital on 4.05.05
I’ve posted the first of hopefully many design-related articles over on my business site, 29digital.
The first in the ‘Simple Design’ series is Create a basic button – and it does exactly what it says on the tin.
