On holiday myself right now, but I have to say, one great blogger/designer right here, one I have heard of before a few times. (Just made sure my domains were still actually mine, would hate to have the same thing happen to my while on holiday, glad you got it sorted Dave)

I came across this blog post-domain-stealing mayhem and publicity, but I am so glad I did! There are some gorgeous designs here, including familiar names like Unique Blog Designs, who in turn designed JohnChow.com's template ... the internet's one big happy connected family :)

This is a cool article. I am fascinated with this type of design.

I wrote an article on using Information Graphics on my blog VitaminCM.com.
It has some stuff on this topic.

5 stars Ian Stewart

Every time I read Creative Design I learn two things. The first how to be a better designer, how to care more and how to invest more thought and energy into my work. The second, how to be a better blogger. David is a great blogger, one of the bloggers I follow. And he's only been at it since October '06!

Definitely 10/10.

I don't understand too much of the technical things, but your site looks really good and displays a wide variety of topics to learn or find something to help one's endeavors. Please do stop by for a cozy read. Cheers. Oh yes, I saw a travel DVD about your city and it was entirely interesting. I want to visit someday.
