Making the switch…
By Matt Richardson | May 20, 2008
Well, the time has finally come, I have officially switched to a Mac. Over the weekend I bought a 15” MacBook Pro, and so far it has been great! Don’t get me wrong, I had used Windows based computer for most of my life, and for the most part it has been good, but It has been time for quite some time to make the switch. Hope fully the switch will be relatively smooth, but we will see. So far so good at least.
So here is to my first post on a Mac and to many more!

Firefox Friday #4 - “Font Finder”
By Matt Richardson | May 17, 2008
This weeks Firefox add-on, is a great design tool that I use from time to time. One of the big reasons I chose this weeks extensions, is that there have been many times I have looked at a font on a website, and thought “gee I wonder what font that is” or “wow I wish I knew what font they used, that would look awesome on this new project”.
With that being said this weeks Add-on is “Font Finder” by:Ben Dodson
Font Finder, does just what it sounds like, Simply highlight any text element, right-click, and click font finder and an alert box will pop up with all of the styling information you are looking for including: font family, font-size, font-family, color and much more.
To download this week’s add-on go to:

5 Surefire Ways To Help Keep Your Customers Happy
By Matt Richardson | May 16, 2008
Deep down, what is the real reason you want to keep your customers happy? Is it that you would like to keep them as a customer? Is it that you like their money? or Is it that you actually care about your customers? Well for me it’s a combination of all of the above. I do care about keeping my customers, and making them repeat customers, and just like anyone else I do have bills to pay, but above all I do care about not only my customers business, but also my customers themselves. I generally want my customers to do well, and I hope that I offer them solutions to help them do so.

Firefox Friday #3
By Matt Richardson | May 10, 2008
This week’s Firefox add on is another useful one for web designers, and more. I chose this week’s add-on simply because it is one that use on almost a daily basis.This week’s add-on is Screengrab! 0.93 by Andy M
The easy way of describing Screengrab! 0.93 is that it saves entire web pages as images. This is great for me because when I’m designing or changing websites, it’s great to be able to send full images to a client. For everyone else it’s simply a great way to capture all the information on a webpage.

Top 5 ways to take care of business while being sick
By Matt Richardson | April 26, 2008
Right now I’m sitting in my office with a head cold, wondering why I did not get anything done in the last couple days. Well I know that I always hate getting sick, In fact, I can’t really imagine anyone who really enjoys being sick. With me I know that being sick, not only sucks, but it’s always a drain on my productivity, let’s face it it’s not easy getting work done with the sniffles. I know some times it is better to simply give in and get better, but the unfortunately truth of the matter is that no matter how sick you are your customers still need you.
Like I said I know being sick can be a real productivity drain, but I wanted to share my five favorite ways to help keep my productivity up while being sick.

Firefox Friday #2
By Matt Richardson | April 26, 2008
It’s that time again, it’s time for Firefox Friday.
This week I wanted to introduce a little bit of a simpler add-on called “Statusbar 0.9.6.1” - by:Devon Jensen
The Technical description of what this add-on does is “View and manage downloads from a tidy status bar - without the download window getting in the way of your web browsing.” Some of the cool things that I like about this add-on is that it makes things a little easier and neater, by displaying all of your downloads in the status bar (bottom of your browser) with out cluttering things up.
Find out more or download this add-on
What add-ons do you happen to like ?
