- Web Designer Magazine Thinks I’m Awesome!
About two weeks ago I sent off an introductory email to Web Designer magazine, a UK magazine that I subscribe to and highly recommend to anyone interested in web design. I introduced myself to them and told them my story.
The short version of said story - I designed my first website when I was 11, went on to teach myself XHTML, CSS, PHP, Photoshop and Dreamweaver and after completing a certificate III in VET Multimedia I received a vocational award for my talent from the Australian government. I then studied a Diploma in Information Technology at university, worked as a junior web developer for 3 months, moved to England and now work as a freelance web designer full time.
They were so impressed with my work that they’re going to publish a couple of pages featuring me in issue 150 which is on sale on the 23rd of October, 2008.
Awesome!

- Upstart Blogger + Infinite Critique
I have been a fan of Ashley Morgan’s adopted blog Upstart Blogger since it was owned and run by blogging upstart Robert Ellis. I am now an even bigger fan of Ashley Morgan because of his unending ambition and passion for online entrepreneurial success. He has certainly renewed my motivation to achieve my web related goals. Put simply, Ashley Morgan’s project, Upstart Blogger is a blog-based guide to creating, launching, maintaining, promoting and profiting from a successful blog - amongst other things - and I highly recommend it.
Part of the Upstart Blogger network of websites is new community blog Infinite Critique, which is a multiple author intelligent alternative to mainstream news and reviews blogs. I have been given a blogging position on Infinite Critique courtesy of Ashley Morgan and I made my first post earlier tonight: Through The Eyes of a Web Designer. My goal is to share my insight into web design, search engine optimization, the internet, technology and what it’s like to grow up as a girl in a more commonly male profession.
- Web Designers / Web Builders.. There is a Difference
It is often said that anyone can become a web designer but I don’t think that is true. To correct the statement I think it should be that anyone can build a website. To be a “Web Designer” on the other hand is a completely different thing.
