Absence Noted

It’s been about a month since my last article or post. Most of the elapsed time has been spent renewing my Fireworks and Photoshop skills. The life of a self-proclaimed web developer means that not only must I stay current with the latest web technologies, but I must also continue to use my current tool sets to improve my work flow and efficiency while producing interesting content.

I’ve been working on a few projects that I hope will demonstrate my particular talents, especially with XHTML and CSS. But it will be the imagery that will hold folks attention. “A picture is . . .” goes the old saying. That’s why keeping up on using Fireworks or Photoshop is such an important part of web design. Using an image editor is a personal preference, but most would agree that without one, developing and designing a web site would be a lot more difficult and a lot less fun.

So, stay tuned for a variety of articles and posts covering things like jQuery, sIFR, Fireworks, and web standards, as well as new links to useful sites from my ever-growing list of admired developers and designers.
