Google Wave is being hyped as the next incarnation of email. It is currently only available to a select group of 100,000 people, but will be available for mass use after further testing. 

This video will give you more information about Google Wave.

One word describe the new Splashwear Aquatics site...Awesome!

Several things about this website makes it stand out from typical sites. High resolution images are always great to work with. The images are full of rich colors and appealing textures.

The design of the navigation also breaks norms found on most conventional websites by experimenting with a non-linear nav bar that simulates waves and water patterns. This is a website designed for swimmers of course!

Splashwear Aquatics is a local company in Maumelle, Arkansas that sells swim team equipment and accessories. This website is built on a content management system and includes ecommerce functionality. It also has a swim team login that enables swimmers on registered swim teams to get discounts on their team gear, flash, and an integrated blog. 

We've had a lot of positive feedback on this site already, and we're happy to showcase it here. Check out the live site at www.swimmerstuff.com, and let us know what do you think?

I always recommend to my blogger clients to include rich high-resolution images to their blogs. This helps to break up the text, and adds color to your blog articles.

High resolution images don't come cheap. Some people are often compelled to borrow them from other sites, but taking images without permission is never a good thing.

Istockphoto is a great source for all kinds of images, but of course you have to pay for them. The images are great, but it's easy to burn up credits and dollars using their images.

A possible source for free images is PicApp. I just discovered this site today and it seems to have a pretty big selection of images at a great price, FREE! For all of you bloggers out there not adding vivid images to your blog, check out PicApp.
