web non-sense : blog on web design, photography, music and jeeps

Over at The Web Squeeze we held our first contest and it was a great success!

To celebrate the release of the much-awaited 3rd version of Firefox, we decided to have a bit of fun and hide tiny little images (10×10) on our main site. We hid 1 every hour for 10 hours to make sure it was fair to all of our member across the globe. It wasn’t easy but 10 lucky people found them and have won great prizes from the Mozilla store.

You can read all about it here - Firefox Competition WINNERS!.

And if you didn’t win anything, don’t fret! There will be many more contest to come on The Web Squeeze! So… stay tuned

A busy few weeks over at The Web Squeeze and we will be busy still for another few.

The last few weeks had us moving our main site over to WordPress! YAY!!! We finally launched it Saturday night … no wait … I think it was actually Sunday “morning” (at 1AM) and we were all done! :p It’s looking great and we’ve already had a few comments from our articles which we were missing from the previous version of the site. Still a few things need to be done. For example, we want to bridge the comments on the site to the forum so members and guests alike can comment.

Our last 2 articles over at The Web Squeeze has brought us A LOT of traffic and we are really happy about that. We have a few contests lined up as well. One is up already and that’s The Great Firefox Download Contest. Register on the forums to get in on the fun!

I’ve also been busy getting a version 2 design for The Web Squeeze. Here’s a little teaser

The forum will also get a new skin.

Coding has already begun and hopefully will be up by the end of this month (June). We are very excited about this new design and hopefully you will love it too.

After months of looking at them online, I finally had an excuse to buy myself one. It was my husbands’ birthday yesterday. After supper, we went to Future Shop and I told him that I was planning and getting him an iPod Touch. He was tentative at first since he didn’t really know what they were/did apart from playing iTunes and MP3s. When I started describing all the cool little things you could do well … there was a spark in his eyes :p

So now we both have one. It’s an 8GB iPod Touch which is plenty for us.

Wrote an article over at The Web Squeeze called 50 Free Icon Sets. It’s basically the biggest collection of the best icons for your website all in one post! Hope you digg it
