Today is Easter Sunday, so be sure to have a good day. If you want a little something to do, then why not check out my blog post from last year, in which I made a desktop wallpaper with an easter theme, the link to the PSD tutorial is also there.

I haven’t updated you on my top entrecard droppers in over three months now, so I figured I should. Entrecard is planning some big changes soon, including finally monetizing the system, read more about the upcoming changes on the Entrecard blog.

For those of you who don’t know what Entrecard is, it’s a service in which bloggers  can ‘purchase’ advertising for free, through the use of ‘Entrecard credits’, these credits can be gained by visiting other blogs and dropping your Entrecard. If you want to know more about this blogging tool you can read more about it here and of course you can always just visit Entrecard itself. Enjoy your free link back:

Gmail, the popular email service from Google which launched back in 2004 and is still in some form of beta, yesterday announced that a choice of themes are now available, this news comes only days after the Gmail team added loads of new ‘labs’ options along with video chat right within Gmail. The themes are being introduced to allow users to spice up the look of there inbox, if they so desire.

All you have to do if you want to change the look of your favorite email service is head on over to the settings page, and hit the theme tab, once there you will be presented with a healthy selection of new themes to choose from, ranging from simple colour tweaks to radical background changes. I think I will probably just go for a simple colour change as I like the simplicity of my ever busy inbox.

lol

If you can’t see the option to choose a theme yet, fear not, as Google are rolling out the update to all users over the next few days. Be sure to let me know what theme you choose by leaving a comment.

I blogged at the beginning of the month how I won a contest over at Flockey. Since then I have claimed my various prizes, and soon I will be ready to show the results. To begin with I had a PSD created by James McDonald which was then coded by BreakCoding.

I hope to be launching the new site within the next few weeks, so be sure to keep an eye on my blog as I will be sure to update it with more news!
