Quick note of a typo:
76- Stuff And Nonsense
Super and super blog of Markley, one of best WebDesigners in the world.
“Markley” should be “Malarkey” (roughly translated as balivernes).
inspirationbit on Feb 26, 2008 said:
excellent post, I’m sure Digg users will digg it
I was wondering why this list was familiar to me – now that you mention that French site, everything makes sense. Still you’ve put lots of work into this – well done.

Er… I don’t know why I add the French in there, for some reason I assumed you were French mother tongue. Have now read your About page and realised that *ahem* you’re not. Sorry!
kristarella on Feb 26, 2008 said:
Wow, great round-up!
I’ll bookmark it
BTW the two titles called “[something] Point” are showing up as “[Something] Not”. Very odd
Jacob Cass on Feb 26, 2008 said:

Thanks to all visitors too!
David Airey on Feb 26, 2008 said:
Thought you’d like to know, the link from Logo Design Love goes to Ads of the World.
Where the images eating too much bandwidth?
David Airey’s last blog post..70 of the best logo design resources
Jacob Cass on Feb 26, 2008 said:
Sorry David you are correct. Something went strangely wrong when I copied this post from Dreamweaver, you will notice all of the title texts are completely muddled up.
Some links also went weird, and words went back to front… ie. Web Designer Wall went to Web Wall Designer. And ‘Showcase Point’ went to ‘Showcase Not’ – No idea what happened, there has never been a problem before. I have fixed it up now.
Yes the images were chewing right into the bandwidth. 3.5mb per visit.
David Airey on Feb 26, 2008 said:
No worries at all. Interesting that you draft your posts in Dreamweaver.
David Airey’s last blog post..70 of the best logo design resources
Jacob Cass on Feb 26, 2008 said:
I find it a lot quicker, especially for adding pictures and you have more control over the layout and more functions as well. For smaller posts I use the Wordpress built in one.
Jim on Feb 26, 2008 said:
I’m truly hurt. You didn’t mention my site (thegraphicmac.com)
And how about CreativeBits.org and Adsoftheworld.com – both excellent resources as well.
Jacob Cass on Feb 27, 2008 said:
Your site seems to be down Jim. Ads of the world was mentioned. I will add CreativeBits.Org – Thanks!
Brian Yerkes on Feb 27, 2008 said:
Jacob / David,
I use Dreamweaver also for most of my posts, if they include several images, special formatting etc. It is much easier and you can also have more control over uploading images and graphics…gives you complete freedom to put images in different directories etc…
I actually use Dreamweaver when editing my entire blog…the style sheets etc. I also find this to be much more efficient.

smokeless cigarettes on Aug 30, 2010 said:
While trying to quit smoking, I have discovered the electronic cigarette. The e-cigs uses a nicotine fluid that consists of just nicotine. Virtually no poisons in the least. They have actually changed my life. No more inhaling toxic substances feels excellent to me!
Britta Meinershagen on Aug 30, 2010 said:
All I can think about is tobacco. I know i don’t plan to light up and if somebody offered a hit right this minute, I’d have to decline. I am in a pretty bad mental condition and have been having trouble getting to sleep yet I do know I must absolutely be strong. The e cigs may also be helpful in the end.
