To avoid looking like I’ve abandoned posting on Web Design Watchdog, I’m letting you know that I’m moving back interstate after being on the road for 6 months. I don’t know how long it will take me to find a new home and settle in, but it will definitely be less than a month and hopefully no more than two weeks.

Until the dust settles and I start posting again, please subscribe to this blog so that you’ll find out immediately when I’m back. You can also add me as a Facebook friend, and watch me on Twitter (see the sidebar).

I’m hoping I’ll have a chance to schedule some future-dated posts to keep things alive here.

Please leave comments on this post about questions you’d like me to answer or topics you’re interested in.

I’ve been working on my 404 error page - you know, the page you get when you click a broken link or type an address in wrong. Don’t you hate it when that happens?

So what does that have to do with space men and gorillas? Take a look and see. Let me know what you think.

Here’s a 27 second video by the creator of Web Pages That Suck. Whose big idea was it to create trailing cursors? Guess it seemed like a good idea at the time. It just screams ‘AMATEUR!’ If you have a trailing cursor on your site, banish it to the realms of darkness where it belongs today. Please.

If you’re one of those people who swear black and blue that the way a site looks doesn’t matter if the content is good, I DARE you to visit the site I’m about to link to. Will you survive long enough to actually read any of the content? I didn’t. I’m waiting for the ambulance to take me to the emergency room to fix my bleeding eyes.

I’ve been working on getting Web Design Watchdog up and running for a couple of weeks now after planning it for many months.

I’ve decided it’s now time to start posting articles and do the final tweaks to the design after going ‘live’.

I already have 62 post drafts, so I have plenty to write about.

So, please subscribe to Web Design Watchdog using the jolly big buttons on the top right of this page, and stay tuned. Web Design Watchdog is only a new puppy right now, but I’m on the verge of a very big growth spurt.

Feel free to leave a comment about what you’d like me to write about. I’ll respond to every comment.
