Like Creative Toolbox? Try Nudge Up.

Creative Toolbox started as a companion blog for my first published book, Adobe Creative Suite 2 How-Tos. This book was published five years ago. I've enjoyed to continue to contribute a few tips, thoughts, and curate content related to Adobe through out the years but as time has waned so has my general interest in just focusing on Adobe content.

That's why I've decided to create a new blog that focuses more on my interests and experiences while being a bit more personal. Enter stage left, Nudge Up. Nudge Up will be more about UX design, web design and development, random, funny and weird stuff. If any of these interest you, please feel free to follow me on Tumblr here and/or Twitter here.

I'll still post content related to Adobe and Apple but you'll find the content on Nudge Up to be more varied than just around these two topics.

For those still following Creative Toolbox, thanks for sticking with me. I hope you follow me along at Nudge Up.

Moving On

In case you’re one of the handful of people who still read my blog, you may have noticed things have changed a bit. I’ve decided to move my blog off WordPress and over to Posterous. If you’re not familiar with Posterous, go check it out. They have come up with a truly unique way to blog — simply by emailing it to them. This means you don’t need a fancy web interface or iPhone app to post to your blog. You just email your blog and it automatically posts. I’m writing this right now in my mail application on my Mac. Yes, it’s really that simple. In fact, getting set up with a blog with them is just as simple. Just email them and they’ll send you your new blog back — very simple, very clever.

In the same time that I’m moving my blog, I thought this may be a good time to reconsider the content found here as well. Sure, I’ll cover Adobe software, but I’m thinking of extending the subject matter to cover more design considerations especially web and UI design. As far as the design, I plan to work on that over time, but I don’t think it’s as important as getting good content out. 

Please drop me a line or a comment below and let me know what you think of it all. Thanks.

Site News: New theme design in the works and more

Since 2009 is nearly upon us, I thought I'd take this opportunity to arrive at a new theme design for the site. 2009 seems to be all about change so I feel the need to join in the positive change. The theme will hopefully be one that would make for easier updates and upgrades and improve the site performance overall. Of course, it should also be aesthetically pleasing. For those interested, the existing design has been kicking around since Creative Toolbox was created. It's a somewhat customized version of the WordPress theme K2. To its credit, K2 is a great theme and really much more than just a presentation theme. It's really a mod to WordPress. But regrettably, all these modifications come at a price of making the site feel much slower to me than other WP sites and makes it rather difficult to keep up with WordPress upgrades as they come down the pike.
