Glad you like.

If you search for CommentLuv, you'll find the WordPress plugin I use to give my commenters a little extra promotion.

RightOn,

Desiging for myself can be incredibly time-consuming. Not for the faint-hearted.

Helen, dvazquez,

Thanks very much for subscribing!

Good info from Alex.

It depends entirely on you and your blog content. How you come across to people plays a big part, and it's much better to be providing helpful information than to be asking for help from others.

If the content you provide is valuable, people will want to be associated with you, because they'll see you as an authority in your niche.

Similar to Ben ^^^^

I use WordPress' 'homepage excerpts' plugin, and show my latest post in full, with the next four as excerpts. So there are five in total, and not a great deal of scrolling involved before you reach that 'next page' button.

I've often thought about changing to a magazine-based style, whereby my blog is just a small part of the homepage, and located in its own directory, but I'm worried about the search ranking implications of a URI change.

fray, designvsart,

Thanks very much. Here's hoping I can keep you interested.

Thanks very much everyone.

I'll be making a few minor changes soon, with the hope of adding a more unique look.

Haha. Nice post.

For sure. Thanks for the suggestion.

I can present some kind of 'logo clinic' series, whereby I offer my own take, or ask others what they think would improve upon the design.

I've updated the original post, stating the intent.

estarla,

I'm glad others have found use in my article, and appreciate your comment.

Tyme,

I've sent a message to Google via one of their support groups, but perhaps another avenue would be worth pursuing?

You make a good point about competing against my own name, and I've been planning a logo design-specific website for a while now. This is an ideal opportunity to get it up and running, using a new domain name and starting afresh. I've learnt a lot over the past year, and I can put that to use from the beginning of a project, rather than learning as I go along.

DavidAirey.com was my first ever blog, so it's about time I tried a new one.

Thanks for leaving your thoughts, which as far as I remember I always tend to agree with.

Thanks for the link - that's just the thing indeed.

I appreciate you being on my site, and here's hoping I do bring the hacker down.

Thanks shadowsun.

I've been able to move my blog to my .co.uk domain, and have published news of my domain name theft here:

David Airey.com hacked

Thanks Dustin.

I'm taking the matter to court, as GoDaddy (where the domain is currently hosted), can't do anything about the matter until they receive notice of an investigation. At that point, the domain will be locked until agreement is made.

Who knows how long that'll take, but hopefully the WIPO (who I've contacted about the dispute) are pretty sharpish about these things. My fingers are crossed.

Hey guys,

Thanks for asking about me.

I've been on vacation for a while, and in my absence it seems someone hacked my GoDaddy account, where davidairey.com was held, and changed the nameservers. At least that's what I think happened, but I'm no expert.

GoDaddy have yet to reply to the email I sent them a couple of days ago, which isn't helpful, but hopefully they will soon.

Dustin, if you sent an email to an account of mine with davidairey.com at the end, sadly, I didn't receive it. All emails to those addresses have failed since this happened.

Sorry about that, and thanks everyone for wondering about me.

You're right though.

I was just thinking about the content appearing elsewhere, but I shouldn't worry about those sites.

I'm out.

I get a lot of sites scraping my feed, so was thinking of others stealing my content, but is that bad to show my own blog? I don't want to come across as vain.

Maybe I should take it out.

Regardless, can you recommend any I should include instead?

I'd like to meet roro, because there's quite a lot of that donut left uneaten.

The UK equivalent to Las Vegas is Edinburgh. Yes, Edinburgh would be the best location for the event.

It helps that I live there. ;)

You know, I was also a bit miffed at missing out on Blog World, though not so much when hearing about a couple of main speakers not showing up. Still, would've been great to meet a lot of people I know from online.

No secret, Ben, and 'need' is the wrong word (just something I used in my blog post for added effect).

I think that designers should be aware of these, at least, as they're very well designed, and suitable for a wide range of uses.

Barto,

Why do you like Garamond so much? ;)

Jeff,

Gonna check out your site now.

I made the 'Airey' theme, but it's for private use only. ;)

Nice list.

PRDesign,

No need to apologise! :)

It doesn't seem to be affecting the search engine rankings of those who have taken hits.

Don't worry about it.

Fray, Jeriel,

Thanks very much! Glad you like my card. I'm fairly happy with it myself.

I'm with RightOn. Following fashion is, for me, a complete waste of money. The industry causes more harm than good.

Scrivs, I agree it's good how the 2nd option represents the whole continent, and not just South Africa. This might be a poor design aspect for some, but if it attracts more publicity to all of Africa then it's only a good thing.

How Design Forum

The most professional design forum I've come across.

I think it's great for US football that he's chosen to play there in his prime. Sometimes injuries happy at the wrong times, and there's nothing you can do about it. Look at Heskey for England - two excellent games last week after coming back from nowhere, and now he's broken his toe, ruling him out of the next two England games.

Sod's law.

Less than 200 people have entered, so far, meaning there's still a great chance of scooping one of the 30 or so prizes.

Thanks a lot everyone.

Good luck if you enter!
