Hey T9 Fans, Don't forget to Share!

Phew!  What a week!  Terribly sorry for being away so long folks, but I am happy to announce that we’re running back on schedule, and things are back to normal here.  In case you missed anything recently, read on!

First off, let me thank our awesome sponsors for keeping things moving while we were on that bumpy ride.  Aside from our readers, Tutorial9 wouldn’t be possible without the help of these folks.

  • W3 Markup – Slicing PSD to HTML, CSS, XHTML, Skinning and Theming
  • Branch Interactive – Interactive Development for Graphic Design, Advertising, and Marketing Firms
  • Site Grinder – Photoshop plugin for turning your designs into websites with no coding involved!

You may have noticed last week that we were not able to make any updates.  While I’ll spare you from the long version of the story, I will say that we’ll take proper measure to avoid such conflicts in the future.  The important thing now is that things are looking good for Tutorial9′s future.

We’ve got a pretty good line-up for you ready to be served, and you ought to catch a tutorial or two this week!  In case you missed the tutorials from 2 weeks ago, here’s a quick roundup for ya!

Before you Buy: Choosing a Camera Bag

Before you Buy: Choosing a Camera Bag

Camera bags can be one of the most difficult pieces of equipment to choose. No camera bag is made to fit every occasion so I will here talk about some different types of bags and cover a few points to consider.

Blackberry to the Rescue

Folks, before you do anything — eat, sleep, start that next tutorial, buy me my next coffee (actually, you can do that first…) — go get yourself a Blackberry or another similar phone with high speed capabilities. Having one on me spared quite a few nightmares last week, including saving some poor guy $1600. Without my Blackberry handy, Tutorial9 may have gone up in flames recently, making this device worth every single penny spent on it.

Blackberry ought to come up with a new tagline… like, “Blackberry. Stopping scammers from fake selling Tutorial websites to innocent Sitepoint members since 2008.”
