I recently opened a new Etsy Store where you can purchase some of the pieces you see featured on my site. Go check it out and let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see for sale!

Have you ever wondered how well your website is performing out there on the internet? Now there is an easy and free way to do just that. It’s call GTmetrix.

The screenshot above shows the hompage where you simply enter in your website’s URL and hit enter. GTmetrix then locates your site, analyzes it, and spits out a nice grade. As you can see I guess my page has some areas to improve on…

Maybe some day I’ll be as good as Facebook…

The other day I was looking for some high quality vector images for a web design I’ve been working on and came across Joomlafan Box. It has tons of free high quality images and vectors as well as other resources such as WP Themes.

Last week I discovered a new blog by a local web solution company here in Lansing, MI GreenLite Web Solutions They had an interesting post about a new web browser aimed at connecting you to all your social media outlets. I’ve been trying it for the last few days and I’m still not sure how I feel about it.

Long story short, Flock is great if you love social media. Why don’t you take the challenge: try out Flock for a week and let me know what you think!

Here’s a screenshot and short description on what some of the features of Flock are…

Based on the popular Firefox browser, Flock takes the next step with keeping users constantly connected to their favorite social media. Whether you’re into Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Hulu, MySpace (for real?), or any other social networking site, Flock has a way to keep it in your face at all times. To get started you just open Flock and enter your various usernames and passwords for sites you want to stay connected to. Flock adds these to a sidebar that displays updates from all of your friends, recently added pictures and video, or even just links to news stories. You’ll also get a home page with a more detailed view of all this info (see the screenshot below).
