Liz was kind enough to lend her hand to some major css issues I was having. I still need to get this sidebar fixed as well 
She has got great posts for illustrators over there, including Delicious Wallpapers For Your iPhone and 8 Ways To Jump-Start Your Illustration-
Build a collection of words you can use to jump start your imagination.
Illustration Friday has a new word each week that participants illustrate. The results are sometimes literal, but often times they run off in unexpected directions.
Those types of sites are great to participate in, but if you want more than just one a week, you need to build your own personal repository. For some reason, it works better if you aren’t the one coming up with the words, so have your friends (or if you have a blog, your readers) contribute. Write each word on a sheet of paper and stuff them in a box, or put them all in a text file for the next time you need an idea.

After you’ve done that, head on over to see the whole list of advertising tips for your design business.
Here’s a sample for you now though:
Be Unique with Your Business Cards
Business cards usually have an entire back that is blank. Utilize this space to print a coupon for your services. Or do something completely unique that hasn’t been done before. Get some great ideas for business card designs with these amazing examples.
Business Cards in Local Establishments
You may also find it useful to post your business cards in local establishments. Places such as coffeehouses and libraries will often have a notice board where individuals can post flyers, business cards and ads. Many individuals view these boards to see what new services are posted and putting your business card up there might be another good way to draw in new business.
And you?

system in the home office to enjoy music while you work. Install two monitors for better productivity. On one desktop you can manage your
software that your company sells. There is a trend of offering support via
on websites. If that's the case with you as well than this time you go out for those office toys, buy another monitor for the chat as well.
