Don’t have Photoshop, but don’t want to pay $650 for the latest version? Luckily you have some alternatives.
- Amazon currently has several copies of Photoshop CS2 (the previous version) for around $300.
- Here’s a little secret: You can buy a very old copy of Photoshop on eBay (like Photoshop 7) for under $100. Once it arrives, you have a serial number…which you can use with the $250 Photoshop CS3 upgrade disc. So you buy an ancient copy of Photoshop, and upgrade. I did the same thing with Flash.

Do you have too many email accounts? Up until a few days ago, I did too. Every day I’d check several accounts for new messages, which took longer than I liked. My tip for today is too merge all of your email down into…

I thought I’d take a break today, and highlight some readers’ blogs instead. Here are some posts I enjoyed from our top commentators’ blogs (on the subjects of blogs and web design). I will probably do this again in the future, in a few…

The popular start page Netvibes features a widget that automatically checks your email for new messages. For it to do this, you must supply your email address and it’s password (as well as your mailserver, if you use POP or IMAP). Here’s what I…

How do you use voting-based social bookmarking sites (like Digg, Reddit, Design Float)? Do you just subscribe to RSS feeds, and see what others like? Do you just vote occasionally? I’ve been wondering about this lately, as well as complaining about the way that…

Newspapers and magazines are slowly starting to make use of the web. A lot of them have websites now, but they don’t seem to know what the heck they’re doing. My major complaints are: No comments. I often disagree with articles (or find errors),…
