So, I really needed a new header since I made the website wider. The placeholder was horrible. Some minutes ago I opened Photoshop and kept pressing random buttons and came something like this. If everyone is doing this type of works why shouldn’t I? It’s not like it’s rocket science! It’s another temporary placeholder till I do something better then this. This took only 10 minutes so I think it came out good for the time spent on it.
The next step before I do the header is to finally sketch a Logo for Paintbits.
So… the question is? Do you like the new header and the new background? 
Ok, because I don’t have that much time to put up new content everyday (see post below) I decided to make a post gathering all that I think was my best articles so far.

This is one of the flaws of blogs, some good posts (not that I’m classifying my posts as good…) tend to be lost in time when new content keeps being posted. So why not gather the best articles (or at least the ones more popular so far) since I started Paintbits? I think it’s an appropriate time, since Paintbits was born 6 months ago (… time flies!).
So, here it goes…

Like I predicted last month, August saw a big break on numbers here on Paintbits. It’s the month of Vacations where everyone is more concerned about the Sun then with the Internet (so was I! :D).
Let’s wait for August… I think August will make for lower numbers since it’s the prime month were people spend more time in the beach sand that in front of the computer getting a Radiation Tan!
Other factor that did influence last Month numbers was that none of my articles had any big impact on social networks like StumbleUpon, Del.icio.us, etc…

I’m really happy to say that my blog has become a little success… at least for me. To be honest I wasn’t expecting so much visits in such a small time. I know some of this success came from pure luck. Being featured on delicious and StumbleUpon sure helped a lot but even beside that Paintbits is starting to build a small but loyal readers base.

If you have visited my page since early morning today you probably noticed some little changes… in the header. The last one was temporary and because of that I decided to make a little Logo for my Page as well as renewing the header.
I think it’s better, less flashy on the eyes. I added a little favicon but it’s a bit crappy and will be changed in a not distant future.
