Food Blog in the press
If you're coming from The Christian Science Monitor's article, my food blog is here.
In other blog coverage, The Tribune's Kathleen Parker writes a rant about bloggers who rant and critize others for their own sense of power. Kind of ironic, isn't it? When 'journalists' with 'years in the trenches' generalize that most bloggers 'babble, buzz and blurt like caffeinated adolescents' it's obvious they're getting their image of bloggers from babbling commentary about blogs in the paper media.

The Official AdLand Advertising Tutorial: Part Three - Art Direction Valuable design advice like: "All type needs at least one Photoshop filter." or "White space is for suckers. Cram as much in as you can. If you still have white space add a starburst, or three."
It eventually gets unsarcastic and gives us this valuable advice: "Make the logo the size YOU want it, and then shrink it by 30%. When the client sees the layout, he will ask for the logo to be bigger. Increase logo by 10%. By the next meeting, he will want the logo bigger once again. The client will only bother to ask this three times, each time you increase 10%. In the end, he gets his request for a bigger logo met three times, and you get the logo in exactly the size you wanted it in the first place."
