New Features
New Feature 1
Check out your address bar! My first attempt at drawing a favicon. Now that I’m a Mac, access to the fantastic Expression Design is a little more difficult to come by, so I downloaded the trial of Adobe Illustrator CS4. I have never used Illustrator before so it took some time to get even my incredibly basic favicon drawn. This tutorial was incredibly useful, and I have now started reading blog.spoongraphics because of it. Check out my pitiful attempt in full-size vector glory:

New Feature 2
An RSS feed for comments on my blog does exist, but FeedBurner is terribly slow about updating it. So, like all of life’s problems, this one can be solved with a plugin (it works fine on my WordPress 2.7.1 install even though it says it is only compatible up to 2.3.1). If you comment on one of my posts, feel free to subscribe to that thread and be notified via email that new comments have been posted to only that thread.

Blogger doesn’t need a plug-in, @ev FTW! About that favicon though…

Illustrator has a steeper learning curve than Photoshop (if such a thing existed in visual software), but the things people do with it are proportionally excellent.
