Designing a new website is great, but not everyone loves taking their PSD designs and converting them into actual, working HTML and CSS.

In fact, there are some designers who positively hate it (and often get someone else to do that part for them rather than suffer through it themselves).

A PSD to HTML service can be a huge time-saver even for designers who don’t mind coding their own designs…

Two bills currently making their way through the United States Congress—SOPA and PIPA—threaten freedom of expression and security online, not to mention the American economy (and economies of countries directly tied to the U.S.).

Surprising as it may sound, colleges and universities seem to have finally figured out social media. Long berated for giving only the most modest efforts at developing an online presence, higher education is, at long last, taking the Internet seriously.

As a higher and higher percentage of high school students spend more time online (and on social media in particular), colleges have made the realization that they stand a far better chance of attracting new applicants if they come visit them on their own turf…

The web is changing day in and day out at an incredibly fast pace. What I found that matters most to me when using new tools is that the switching cost needs to be as low as possible.

The less “lock-in” and learning an app requires, the more likely I am going to be to try it out.

So here is a list of tools I have started to mess around with.

They are super intuitive to use and save me a ton of time each day…

New WordPress themes are released constantly, some free, some premium. And some better than others.
