The Web Squeeze Firefox Contest A Success

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

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 ;)

Busy at The Web Squeeze

Monday, June 9th, 2008

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.

50 Free Icon Sets

Friday, May 16th, 2008

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 :)

Digg isn’t spam-proof either

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

I must admit that the whole “Digg” thing has never really been something I “got”. Only recently when we opened up The Web Squeeze and I started writing again have I started to use it to expose our articles to the people of the internet that don’t know of us yet. It’s a really great tool for that not only for us to get more traffic and readership but also to find other really great articles from sites that I haven’t encountered yet. My blog tag in my delicious account has grown quite a bit in the past few months because of Digg and that’s very cool.

So … here it is in no particular order, a list of people who have inspired me.

Dan Cederholm

Elliot Jay Stocks

Roger Johansson

Veerle Pieters

The Big Noob guys : Brad Smith, Ryan Sims and Keegan Jones

Jonathan Snook

The list could be alot longer … especially if you look at my blog list in delicious. But, these are the ones that got me going in this whole Web Design thing and keep me inspired by what they do.

In the off-chance that one of you is reading this … Thank you!
