I’d just like to convey my thanks to whoever submitted my new blog design to the various CSS showcase sites. It’s made CSS Mania, CSS Drive, CSS Based, Most Inspired and screenfluent.

As a regular visitor to these showcases, I know just how impressive some of the featured sites can be. I’m very flattered that somebody felt my site deserved that kind of accolade - and honoured to see my site on them!

I’ve been working on Britster now for a number of months now, and the project is finally nearing completion! Everything’s in place to make this the biggest thing to happen to Social Networking in Britain for a long time - and I for one can’t wait to see this baby fly!

Ladies and Gentleman… Allow me to welcome you to the restyle of the century! My new theme - almost four weeks (part-time) in the making - brings a fresh new look to my blog.

What you’re looking at is based on the Dark Theme, which was originally designed by Wolfgang Bartelme. His design was converted to WordPress by iLEMONed, widgetized by Diego Ciconi, and then giving a graphical thrashing by yours truly!

I hope you like what I’ve done with the place - and I really look forward to your comments (positive or constructive) and feedback on what you like or dislike as far as functionality goes! Oh, and if you’re reading this via my feed then you probably have no idea what I’m talking about - so come and see the site in person!

Ten days ago I wrote my 10 Most Stupid Client Questions Ever post - and on the same day Tara from the Graphic Design Blog submitted the article to StumbleUpon. I had no idea that she’d done this at the time though!

Over the course of the last ten days the article has received more than 32,000 views (edit: more than 45,000 as of July 1st), with about 80% of those coming from StumbleUpon users! The rest came from being on the front page of Spotplex, the Upcoming page of Digg (with 7 diggs) and the second page of Reddit - in addition to the usual traffic from Technorati and the like. At one point I was getting an alarming 10 views per second!!
