This is Step One of how to create a Graphic Profile for your About Page.
It’s time for me to work on my About Page. I’ve decided to tackle creating my Graphic Profile, and write a tutorial on how to do it at the same time.
The first step is to collect all the photos you need for your montage. The photos have to be of things that you’re passionate about. ChiQ has 14 items in her Graphic Profile.

Darren goes into detail about how he does it, and it’s well worth a read.

Great article about writing headlines, by Copyblogger (one of my favorite bloggers). My favorite line from the article is: “In fact, this headline makes me want to give up blogging and become a shepherd.” I’ve had that fleeting feeling.

When Google first created its beta (first draft) home page and set up a test to see how well it would work, there was a problem.
“[Our beta testers] would sit in front of the Google screen for 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, a minute…Google was perplexed.”
Interested in what the problem was and how easily it was fixed? Read the article:

More people are switching to a better web browser. Have you switched yet? As IE’s slice of the pie gets smaller, web designers and developers feel happier, because IE doesn’t follow the rules (standards) of proper web design.
“Internet Explorer continues losing its market share. This time it lost more than 1%, from 74.83% to 73.75% (1.08% decrease).” Read more at Internet Explorer Loses.
