This month of March 2010 has been very eventful. Not only were we featured in various posts from other design and development blogs, such as Visual Swirl, Design Juices, and W3Avenue, but we also sold our first ad on Buy Sell Ads, by Nicasio Design, which was very exciting. As always, in the Mix of the month, we repost our three most popular articles of the month, and we usually repost the three best articles submitted in our Community News section, but starting this month, we will repost the top ten articles submitted in our Community News section, since we have been getting so many great submissions. And, as always remember to use our search, tag, and category features to look through our archives for great articles written over the past year! Enjoy!
2Beautiful Workspaces Where You Would Love to Work
Mar 29th 2010 by
Just this week I decided to go shopping for a new desk for my home workspace, where I actually spend more than 20 hours a week designing and developing. With so many options ranging from the most ornate desk to the bare minimum, I was getting somewhat overwhelmed as to what type of desk would be best to create the ideal workspace. Therefore, as I always do, I searched for some examples of amazing workspaces on the internet, and these examples below are the ones that truly inspired me. The fact of the matter is that the optimal workspace is so important and essential, because it should foster your creativity and ideas. Thus, I have decided to share these with you all, and hopefully you will get inspired to bring your workspace to the next level. And, do not worry, as soon as I purchase my desk and get my new workspace together, I will share it with you all! In the meantime, enjoy these amazing workspaces where we would all love to work!

11Networking: Why Its Important and How To Do It Better
Mar 23rd 2010 by
We all know what social and career networking involves; it is the developing and maintaining of contacts and personal connections with different people in your niche area who might be advantageous to you and your career. Networking has helped me to get every job I have ever had, in addition to helping my businesses obtain and retain clients. With Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, etc, we have all become gurus of sorts in the world of social and career networking. If you are a good web designer or developer, you know the importance of social and career networking both on the web and in person. However, in my experience, many designers and developers are introverts by personality, so though it is easy for them to networking via the internet, the actually person to person social or career networking is a little more difficult to them. In my opinion, both are equally important.
