Thanks for all your messages. I’m now back to blogging with great resources and offers for all web designers out there. The first offer comes from Rollip. A new site in town that offers different photoshop filters for your images. Some of them are quite good although most of them are easy to create if you have the time.
For those that do not have the time to do so, Rollip offers CSSAddict subscribers 30 free credits with each sign up. The credits are distributed on a first-come first-serve basis, so don’t delay!
