If you are already getting my newsletter, please leave a comment below and let me know what you think so far. You could rate it 1 through 10, or leave a comment like “Get to the good stuff” or “So far, so good”.  Or if there is anything that you are curious about and want to ask a question, just ask, and I will cover it in the next edition.

If you are reading this and DON’T already get my newsletter, here is a link to the first edition, which went out a couple weeks ago:

Web Ovations #1: SEO Zombies

It’s monthly or a little more, depending on time restraints and demand.  If you like it or don’t like it, please let me know.  And if you still need to sign up and don’t know how, click here.

If you are into free stuff, check out the free grunge “LOLLIDOT” textures I found today. Maybe you noticed, our background just changed. I decided to add a layer of grunge, using one of the super backgrounds released by the LBOI (LITTLE BOX OF IDEAS) Design Blog (thanks, Twitter friends!)

All I did was add a layer, paste in the lollidot texture, set its opacity to about 50% and voila! Still got my background, just with a grunge twist.

Oh yeah, I also shrank the width down to 1600 because everything in their free zip file comes at a super high res 3600 by 3600 pixels, so you can use them for larger projects, too. For my purposes, 1600 will suffice, although I could probably have gone down to 1200 pixels.

If you like these, why not leave a comment on their blog here. You’ll have to visit them to see the images anyways, because the one you see on this blog is darkened to allow the text to be read. But the actual colors are much brighter.
