For my GCSE I am taking Graphic Design, and since I was young the look and feel of things have have fascinated me. When I was young I loved to create things, the web combines both of my passions with in web design. Very recently I have got more and more into coding CSS and HTML, and started to learn a bit of PHP. The fun bit of all this is putting it into practice and designing websites. Before you do that it is alway good to learn from people that do this for a living, there are a ton of designer’s with blogs out there but here are a few of my favorites.
The first blog is called BlogOH!Blog it is a blog done by a a web developer who lives in New Delhi. He offers a bunch of cool free wordpress themes and some really insightful articles.
The second blog is more of a CSS based site this is shown in the name CSS-Tricks. CSS-Tricks is a blog that discuses more actual web development rather than design, they also have some great tutorials in their podcast.
David Airey is a self-employed graphic designer, he runs a fantastic blog and talks about some really interesting subjects such as what makes a good logo and Typography. I would really recommend reading his blog
Jeremy Adams is new to the blogging world he stared in January and is transitioning from being a computer programer to a designer. He writes about a beginners perspective on how to be a web designer, one of his best articles is What I hate about being a designer.
These are some really good blogs and I recommend you check them out. This will be my only post for the next weeks as I am currently away in Orlando. This has to be the worst week to go on holiday with no internet as I will miss Doctor Who finale and iPhone 3G launch!

Often I find myself looking at what apps I am using and how I can save time, a great way to do this is through RescueTime. This is what inspired me to write this post, I am not going to be talking about RescueTime but instead about what it tells me. I want to share what apps I use most (excluding the obvious iTunes, Web-browser and Mail). These apps are based around what I like to do best at the moment, this is mostly to communicate and Web developement.
Price: $14.95 (FREE with ads)
Price: $29
Price: $12.95
Price: FREE
Price: $29.95
I am not a fan of spending money and often like to go for the free option, but in the case of all these apps here, if they do have a price they are worth buying (Twitterific is fine with ads there is no need to buy it). I hope I showed you some cool apps you might try.

I assume you all know what Facebook is (if not go to www.facebook.com). A couple of weeks ago Facebook launched a thing called Facebook chat and slowly added the feature to more people’s accounts.
I have had mine for about a month now, so have had a good amount of time to play with it. The one thing I initially found about Facebook chat is that it was slow, to send and receive messages. but the more time I have spent with it the less you notice it,. One thing about it that is not a feature that is cool, is that during this month of using it I have only once logged on to find no one on and that was at 1 in the morning, so no surprise there. I think this is due to how easy it is to add and find friends compared to thing like MSN. The UI is really nice to use and simple, it fits in well with the Facebook look. 
One thing that has annoyed me is that since they have put this feature in they seem to have become Twitter (always down). This really annoys me as it is a great feature and now I use Facebook a lot morebecasue of it. the feature appear at the bottom of the browser windows, there are 3 buttons at the bottom of your screen that make up this feature far left is notifications, Who is online and your chat . When you chat you get a little bleep telling you have a message, and you can see other peoples status.
Overall Facebook chat is great reason to use Facebook on its own. The only real down fall is the that it is a bit slow to send and receive messages, but other wise it is great addition to Facebook and i love it.
