Well I’m back from Austin and back in the office.  Started work on designs for two different clients and I have a few projects lined up to move other clients to Wordpress.  It’ll be a busy week (I hope).  A few things though before the week gets to hectic for me to blog.

01. Run Jen Run, a really wonderful client, now has everything up and running. DC moved her over from Movable Type to Wordpress and set her up with a new design (with header courtesy of Kris Dresen). Jenny was great to work with and I’m really glad she likes her design.

02. “The Best 80 Photoshop Text Effects on the Web” – One of the most comprehensive collection of Text Effect tutorials I have ever seen. Seriously – if you’ve seen it on the web, this place has the way to do it. I’m posting this link here as much for you guys as much for me. This is really helpful. Check them out!

03. Content Management Systems. I will always and forever be an avid Wordpress user, however, are there advantages to using a CMS such as Drupal or Joomla for non-blog websites? I use WP for my portfolio and for other static sites, but is there evidence that using a different CMS would be better? I’d really like to get opinions on this. Comment here or send me a tweet.

04. A really great collection of website background tutorials: “Outstanding Website Background Guide.” I’ve been working on creating some seamless background textures, and I found this incredibly helpful for finding a tutorial for everything I need.

05. And what every beginning web designer needs to know: “The Ugly Truth Behind Starting a Web Design Blog.” While my site isn’t really for blogging, I’m beginning to wonder if I should start one that’s beyond what I twitter. This article gives me a great understanding of just what to do and what not to do. A highly recommended read.

That’s it for now. Let this week begin!
