The Qwertyrash Blogs

Yesterday I spent much time tweaking and refining this site. One of the changes I made was to the header, which consists of two strips.

I decided to use the bottom of those strips for ads. Initially I set them up with a navy background to match the side bar. As I worked with it through the day, I felt my eye wasn’t catching it. My page naturally drew me to the first post.

Consequently I changed the background to white, to match the main content. I immediately noticed my eye was no longer missing the ads.

This is significant and I will play with on my other sites.

Basically, what my eyes are telling me, is that the ads they’re drawn most to, are those that match the content and are in the flow of the content.

Should I wait? Or will Adobe give free upgrades to those […]

Oh oh. It’s happened. My intravenous drip to the world, the internet, is down. How will I survive? The last time this happened it last well over half a day. Initially I got anxious, almost cold sweats, then started to feel a calmness descend as i felt the chains loosening.

Last week, in The Seattle Times - right in Microsoft’s heartland - journalist Paul Andrews wrote and article exhorting readers to dump Windows computers, and switch to Apple Macs.

I tell them I’m glad to help, on one […]

On Wednesday last, when I had to do my weekly column for <a href=http://www.applematters.com target=_blank>Apple Matters</a>, I procrastinated badly on it. Suddenly found heaps of other “important” things to do.

A recent posting was on one we can all relate to…One of the most common questions I get is “Do you ever get writer’s block?”The thing I love about that question is that it reveals a wonderful optimism in the person who is asking.
