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. If I want to create a Jigsaw Puzzle effect, I need to have 6 or 20 photos to have one for each piece. I think a 6 piece puzzle isn’t enough for a Graphic Profile, so I’d have to go with 20.
So, my plan is to aim for 20 photos of things I feel passionate about. And to get them from free sites, where possible.
I’m going to show you where I’m going to get my photos from. There are two free photo sites that I often use: Read more . . .

When I get my eZine up and running, I’ll be publishing it using ‘WordBurner’. I’ve always planned to use WordPress and Feedburner to manage my eZine, but wasn’t sure exactly how to do it. Luckily I happened upon a tutorial from Nettuts that explains how it’s done:

Did you know that you can post to your WP blog using an iPhone/iPod Touch? I’m doing exactly that using the WordPress app right now. Just need to set up my Press This bookmarklet in Safari and see if that works.

404 Error page of Center'd!
Here are 60 Really Cool and Creative Error 404 Pages.
Just remember that your error page should be designed primarily to help your visitors get back on track as quickly as possible. Secondarily, being funny helps to take the sting of frustration out of getting lost on your site. Better to be helpful and not-so-funny than to just be amusing and not helpful.

Darren Rowse of ProBlogger has written a great post about batch processing his blogging-related tasks. Doing similar tasks in batches is a great time-saving (and sanity-saving) technique for most activities in life, not just blogging. Darren goes into detail about how he does it, and it’s well worth a read.
