Just sharing, interesting blog posts by Designers

Rachel Cunliffe @ cre8d blog, "Going wider"

Yesterday I was asked by someone on Skype why we’d chosen to go with a wider page design for Idolblog, ideal for screen resolutions of 1024px wide and up. It’s a good question.

Dave Shea @ mezzoblue, "Raw"

Let’s say you have a digital camera that shoots in Raw format. However, you’ve been using JPG files ever since you got it, due to a sense of familiarity, simply not having the time to figure out Raw, or because you don’t like the larger file sizes. Sound familiar?

That was me too, up until about a month ago. Then I started shooting Raw. And from now on, unless I need a lot of photos in a very short time, Raw it is. It’s not for everyone, and it’s not for every occasion, but it’s certainly the best default choice for me. And if you’re concerned with image quality, it could very well be for you too.

Jon Hicks @ hicksdesign, "Firefox becomes a contender"

Up until a few months ago, Firefox was never on my list of browsers that I flirted with. It was never opened, not even for the hallowed web developer toolbar that so many swear by.

Update: Added this one:
Ryan Carson @ A List Apart, "The Four-Day Week Challenge"

The more you work, the more you get done, right? Well, I’d like to encourage you to take the “Four-Day Challenge.”
