Calling all Web 2.0 Icon designers
We've had this idea at The Yellow Llama for the longest time and finally last week we got our ass in gear and partnered up with @Norri from Maxiware to build a site that we're hoping is going to have great appeal. There are a couple good free icon websites that many designers use when putting together designs for various applications, IconFinder.net and IconArchive.com being a couple. However the ...

Firefox 3 To Be Released On June 17th
After receiving upwards of 1 000 000 pledges, Firefox 3 is set to be available for download on June 17th. There's still a number of questions though about the reliability of the product itself. Firefox 2 had known issues with RAM usage, and FF3 doesn't seem to have resolved any of these. Unfortunately, one issue that still exists in Firefox is memory leaks. According to the release notes, ...

The WordPress Guru is launched
For the last 4 or 5 years that I've been using WordPress, I've managed to pick up a good few tips and tricks. 90% of my clients are sites who require content management systems, not blogs. And thus I've been able to create highly tweaked and customized Wordpress content management systems that give my clients a great method of controlling their entire website via WordPress's great user interface. I thus decided to start WPGuru.co.za ...

7 Wordpress themes that don’t suck
I couldn't count the sites that claim to have the 'best wordpress themes' if I wanted to. There's just too many. And most of them are crap. They've clearly been thrown together in a half-hour in a lame attempt to get some backlinking-footer action. There are however, a few designers that actually put their back into it and have come up with some really impressive and innovative Wordpress Themes. These are from designers who've gone beyond the straightforward main content and ...

SA Blogger
I'm hoping this site catches on. SA Blogger is a new Digg-style site that is purely for South African related news. Actual topic doesn't matter, just the fact that it must be South African related. It's still a new site, so users & topics are few. All the more reason to sign up & start adding content!
