To start, sorry for the lack of posts lately. Design News Weekly has been put on hold due to an operation on my hand :( and giving my hand time to recover. As stated in the title I have dupuytren's contracture a condition that I seem to have got early for my age. The good news is It wont have an effect on my design work, but I have to take it easy for another couple of weeks Boo Hoo! I will try to get some new posts

To start theres alot going on in the update. Excellent interface and great integration of the stats plugin, displaying of comments and the ease of which changing and adding content can be manipulated, from the front dashboard is top draw. Installation was as easy as ever so don't hesitate to add the update its worth it in the end. One major change is the adding of media on your post page and support for adding content fast and easy with simplicity. The main aspect of the 2.5 update is CONTROL and the ease of it especially the tags control and media library. I'm still playing around and picking up on the way it works. One thing I noticed were the widgets, it has some improvement but if you have a 3 column blog moving your widgets from the left to right columns is a bit of a pain. In the past, you could do this by moving it on the fly from one to the other, and from one side to the other side. This isn't available in this update and the widget columns are contained in separate windows and not displayed together. Ive sorted it by saving the text widgets ...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the drawing board! Mind blowing 2d and 3d graphics if you havn't seen this its a must watch for Inspiration.

Desktop wallpapers, what do you like? Natural landscapes, fast cars, Naked women or men? :| Let me know what you think? I'm starting a new section for just desktop wallpapers and any ideas and thoughts of subject matter is open to you? Personally I prefer abstract and surreal images in just a couple of colours, and I alter them allot of the time to have a section where my desktop icons would sit making the wallpaper and desktop interact together. A site I love and always go back to if I want to spice up my desktop is DESKTOPOGRAPHY A great collection of talented designers and inspirational images. Please send in your ideas? and sometime this week you will see my starting collection of free desktop wallpapers. Submit your own pictures of your own desktops and we will pick the best and add a link to your website and details of your design. Eating Design
