This has been an especially busy year for Electric Bricks. Many new clients and many new projects for existing clients. But there’s one project that I haven’t mentioned yet. It’s one that’s been in the works for… well… years. A few years back a long-time friend of mine, Dan Gimenez, developed a new body style for an electric guitar. I won’t go into all the details about what makes it so special (yet!) but the two of us decided that the music world needed a fresh perspective on a traditional instrument so we joined forces and launched Gimenez Guitars LLC.

I'm a fan of Social Media Examiner

There are a few social media and web marketing blogs that I follow pretty regularly. Social Media Examiner is one of them. They consistently produce relevant, easily digestible articles to help you get a better handle on your social media efforts. Their recent article, “6 Simple Photo Tools for Creating Social Media Visuals“, offered up several easy-to-use Photoshop alternatives that could not only be used for creating graphics for social content, as the article suggests, but for blog articles and web pages, as well. In the article they quickly outline the strengths of each tool and show an example of what can be created with it. Read the article to get the list (most of them are free!) and see if any of them could be beneficial to you.

Here it is. What you’ve all been waiting for. Everything you need to know to make your website “perfect”. All illustrated neatly on one simple infographic.

OK, maybe it’s not that simple. But there is some pretty good information and statistics here, though I’m not sure how long they’ll be accurate. One thing I love seeing is the trend toward larger monitors. Designing for small screens stinks! (Did someone say “mobile”?)
