I noticed you linked to Billings 2. It looks like a nice app. Will Flow be comparable / do all that?

I am not a web guru, or CSS coder. I am a Graphic Designer with photographic tendancies.

I just wanted to say, that whilst I have been Blogging, looking at the huge amount of Blogs out there, from a design and typographic perspective…

Your Blog/Site is one of the cleanest, nicest, stylish I have seen. It is a joy to look at, easy to read and navigate.

I am glad the black/green is a good combination, as I have recently changed my color pallet on my rather antiquated Typepad blog. I get so frustrated with its lack of flexibility, plus my inability to design and construct what I know I can achieve had I the coding skills. Instead I have to accept the limitation of my skills and have a site that to me, stinks. I am a perfectionist, and when I cannot be in control of design then I suffer.

I am looking to combat this, by learning CSS and also moving to the Wordpress.org platfrom which I am hoping will allow me much greater flexibility.

I would very much like to however, start learning from a template that is close to being what I envisage. Enabling me to tinker and look at the structure, i prefer learning this way.

I have also looked at ExpressionEngine, but feel I will be totally overwhelmed with the learning curve.

I will be in contact soon, as I would like to ask you if as part of your services, you offer a sort of template-instant Blog design service which I would love you to do as you clearly have a superb talent.

Im sure praise is always welcome…

I know the feeling. The false sense of security that Real Work brings tends to be addictive and has kept me from completing projects more often than not.

On a slightly unrelated note, I love the design for this site, well done! Beautifully minimal with excellent color use.

Glad to see you didn’t give up on it. I can’t wait to try it out? Will we be getting any sneak previews or screen shots? Also, when is five steps coming out?

Glad to hear some news about Flow. And happy that you’re keeping the wolf from the door so that you keep it ticking over! I’m sure it’ll be a great product and worth the wait.

I understand exactly what you mean!

Real Work has an uncanny ability to pull you away from a project you’re working on. I’ve been putting off a site restructuring for about 2 months now, thanks to Real Work. Of course, as long as it pays the bills.. ;-)

But I’m really looking forward to get Flow-ing.. :-)

I’ve got about 5 projects that I want to develop for myself but clients keep paying me to ignore them…

Of course if I had a great book on design then I’d get through my workload faster ;)

Great to hear that you guys didn’t give up on it. I recognize the problem. I’m working on an own project too with some people, next to my design studio. But all the time paid design jobs get priority…it’s a shame.
