DOING OUR BIT FOR CHARITY

This January Milkbar has been dedicating some free design time to a worthwhile charity event. The 10 in 2010 challenge - to climb 10 of The UK’s Highest Mountains and cycle between them all in 6 days. The event will take place between 5-10th June 2010 and three friends will climb a total of 40 miles, at a height of 8865 metres and then cycle 145 miles between the peaks in aid of The Beatson institute of Cancer Research.

You can show you’re support at: www.justgiving.com/10in2010

Forget about design

We judge people by how they look. It’s an everyday occurrence, no matter how unfair. But what if appearances didn’t matter? What if we could just say what’s on our minds and not worry about clothes, hair, makeup? Okay, so if I told you to turn up for your next job interview wearing pyjamas, you’d think I was nuts. Rightly so. On the Internet, however, appearances count for a lot less. Steve Pavlina, Matt Cutts, Seth Godin. Between them they author three of the most popular blogs on the Internet, each with an Alexa rank under 10k. Now I’m sure you’ll agree that their site designs aren’t anything to write home about (although in Steve’s case, you might actually want to write something). Yet this doesn’t stop an increasing number of people flocking to read what they’ve written. “But these guys aren’t the norm.” you might say. Or, “I don’t have the voice to attract their numbers.” Steve, Matt, and Seth are no different from either of us. Set your mind to it and you can go wherever you want to go. The next time you’re putting off a blog post until you get your design “just right”, scratch that idea. It’s what you say that matters most.
