I got the opportunity to try out the services of
PSD2HTML. They're one of the larger design slicers around and was interested to see what I would get.
Full disclosure: PSD2HTML advertises on this site and offered up their services in exchange for this review.
I'm always hesitant to outsource work but luckily when it comes to HTML/CSS I've had one or two people that I can rely on. So I was a little nervous to see what kind of code I'd get back from PSD2HTML and how much extra work I'd need to put into it.

I just released more of my

Thought Dreamweaver MX was released in 2004, not much in Dreamweaver has changed since that time … especially when it comes to the basics.

While hunting down some groovy looking
WordPress themes I came across
Milo’s site and was pleasantly surprised. Milo is a graphic designer based in Munich, Germany and she has created some 100
WordPress themes that are available for download on her site.
Milo is a master at flash and many of her themes look rather groovy. They are certainly less conventional than most of the free WordPress themes we see on the market and would suit an artist perfectly. While her themes are all available for show, none of the demo links actually seem to work. From what I have seen, there is no other way to demo the themes than to see them on the sample page.
I kept going round and round until eventually I just gave up. Below is a screen shot of the sample page where
all the themes are listed. If you click on it, it will lead you to the same page.

Killersites.com is an old site, nearly 12 years old now!
Over that time (as we added more articles and tutorials), our directory structures and file naming styles changed as conventions changed. So now I have a huge mess to clean up.
… There is a lot of information buried in killersites.com that people just don’t find.
