2008-01-01 - New Year Links Folder
2008 is finally here, I hope you had a lot of fun and everyone got back home safe. I took some time to read my favorite blogs (and some new ones I didn’t know about) and want to share some really cool posts, I hope you find them interesting.
I also took some time to redesign Freelance Folder (come have a look if you’re reading via RSS), I think it was about time cause the previous design was put together in less than an hour, I hope you like it! Usually when a site gets a facelift, half the readers and visitors really love the changes and the other half hates it, gotta do it anyway but I really hope you like it). I’m still fixing some bugs, ya know…IE6 really is a pain in the a**! :)
There are now 6 125×125 banner ads in the sidebar instead of 8, and rotating banners at the bottom of posts. Advertisement is what keeps this site running, if you’re interested in advertising on FF, please get in touch with us. :)
Also the ‘about the author‘ thing is now at the top of the sidebar on single post pages along with links to social media sites.
Now on to the list:
- Break Your Design Mold
- 6 Web Design Tips from Leonardo da Vinci
- Happy Holidays Snow Globe - Tutorial
- What Everybody Should Know About Time Management and Getting Things Done
- Freelance Rock and Disputing Copyright - An Interview with Midnight.Haulkerton
- On a Blue December Night: Asking Why Do Givers Not Ask to Be Paid?
- Networking for Bloggers: 8 Keys to Making Yourself More Valuable to Others
- Enjoy the Holidays! 5 Practices for Less Stress & More Joy
- 5 Powerful Reasons to Make Reflection a Daily Habit, and How to Do It
- How to Tell if You’re Spreading Yourself Too Thin
I hope you enjoy these posts as much as I did. Wishing you a very productive and prosperous 2008! :)

I like the new design, very clean. Well done…probably took longer than an hour though this time, huh? :-)

Hi David, thanks a lot! Yep a little longer than an hour, more like a week (or was it a month?) ;)

I love the new design! Very clean!
I recently re-designed my blog… something about designing your own sites tend to take so much longer than designing for clients, lol.
Congrats on the new look! :)

Damn, that’s a nice look, Jon. I’m impressed (and slightly jealous, too.) Very, very appealing.

Thanks for the link!
WAH(web)Mommy is right. I find it a lot harder to design my own sites than clients sites as well.
But your new design is awesome. I love the superclean look.

Jon,
Thanks for the link, always appreciated. The new design looks great! The other one certainly wasn’t bad, but this clean look is a step up in my opinion.
