Brand New Site Coming Soon!

1/12/2009 3:25:00 PM

Hi everyone, this is just a quick note to let you know what’s happening, seeing as you may have noticed that the site has not been updated in quite a long time. Basically, a brand new site is in development and will have a whole host of new features to make the site much more useful to everyone. We’re talking having your own account, commenting on tutorials, submitting your own work for critiquing by other members, asking questions that your fellow photoshop users can ask, and additional content features, including a directory of tutorials on other websites.

Much more to come, so stay tuned. I’ll be sending an email out to everyone on the mailing list as soon as the new site is launched, so if you’re not on the list and want to be notified, subscribe using the form in the yellow box to the left.
