As my readers are probably aware, I am definitely a programmer first, and a graphic designer second (or perhaps third or fourth).
However, in working on clients websites, I often find myself needing to pull up Photoshop or Fireworks (my tools of choice) and do some work on graphics, or perhaps spend an hour or two on a CSS file getting formatting adjusted.
Because of that, I was interested in a post by Elite by Design I found in my RSS reader this morning with links to 22 different free icon packs.
I’m always looking for shortcuts in web site development (clients generally like to see work done both fast and well), and using different free libraries such as the jQuery Javascript library or these icon packs are a very efficient way to cut development time, while actually increasing the quality of the end product.
Anyway, check them out!
P.S. I am currently able to accept a limited number of additional clients for my PHP Development services. Interested in discussing the possibility of my handling your project for you? Contact me!
Rule #1 of having a freelance programming business (well, maybe not #1, but fairly high up there):
“Ensure that the domain registration on your blog/email host doesn’t expire.”
I had this domain set to not automatically renew, and unfortunately, it expired earlier this month, and it took me a few days to figure out why all of the potential clients/clients I had been emailing suddenly stopped replying to my emails.
My apologies to everyone for that glitch on my part.
I do, however, now have some time available to take on new work, so if you have a project you would like me to handle for you, please shoot me a message.
Thanks!

As many of you know, WordPress is by far my favorite blogging platform (and the one that I use for this blog).
Three days ago, Wordpress 2.6.5 was released, and according to the post on WordPress.org, it contains one security fix and three bug fixes.
From their site:
The security issue is an XSS exploit discovered by Jeremias Reith that fortunately only affects IP-based virtual servers running on Apache 2.x. If you are interested only in the security fix, copy wp-includes/feed.php and wp-includes/version.php from the 2.6.5 release package.
2.6.5 contains three other small fixes in addition to the XSS fix. The first prevents accidentally saving post meta information to a revision. The second prevents XML-RPC from fetching incorrect post types. The third adds some user ID sanitization during bulk delete requests. For a list of changed files, consult the full changeset between 2.6.3 and 2.6.5.
You can download the latest package from WordPress.org/Download.
