Tuesday Stuff and Inspiration
It’s being a tough week with a lot to do (and by a lot I actually mean a lot) but there are small things that actually lifts the burden a bit and brings the happiness to the surface instead! One of these things are the message I had received on a forum today when I signed on thanking me for the tutorials available here. I’m very glad many of you find them useful and like them. I promise you there’ll be a lot more coming and I’m planning out some other surprises as well, so stay tuned! 
View your sites in IE if you are on a Mac…
I was planning to post this yesterday but I forgot it only to be reminded today of it by a post on a forum I visit (can you tell I go to quite a few forums). Since Internet Explorer isn’t in at least any current versions available for the Mac, all us Mac users have trouble testing our websites using IE. Luckily there are a couple of solutions with these two being the best in my opinion.
- One way of doing it is installing a copy of Windows using a virtualization program, such as VMware Fusion or Parallels. You can of course also install it using Boot Camp if you want. These will just enable you to power up your virtual machine or boot camp copy, and run the tests in IE. (This is where I find the virtualization programs to be much better since you don’t need to restart the computer.)
- Another way, the way I like much more and that is that you use one of the IE emulators available online. There are a plethora of them out there available and one of them that I use a lot is one called IE Net Renderer available at the link right here, online!
Some Tuesday Inspiration to last for the week!
It’s quite the beginning of the week and we might all need some inspiration to make it though, right 
Here’s a link to some great awesome photographers!

QT: Use the global light as blend mode in Photoshop
Did you know that you can use the global light as its own blend mode and not only in many blending options?
Just go to Layer > Layer Style > Global Light and change the default angle and altitude right there and you’ll be making a change to just the global light of the document you are in!
