The common stereotype is that if you are a designer of […]
Let’s start off with me being completely honest and saying I digg my own articles. I don’t digg useless articles, but I do digg the useful ones or the ones I’d think others would find interesting. In fact, I wrote an article on socially bookmarking your own content titled Bookmark Yourself and Don’t Feel Guilty […]
