Fabric Textures
Here are some really nifty Fabric textures that you can use.. I personally love these textures! I love textures that you see in your everyday life but not so much online.. for example cardboard, wood and Fabric! I’d love to make a web site with a cardboard texture someday. Right now www.Divegeekdesigns.com is using one of these Fabric textures for the background. Do you like? and personally I think it turned out sweet. If you recently design something using a nifty texture, please feel free to post a comment with a link to it. I’d love to check it out. Plus consider it free marketing for your new project! My site may not be www.Mashable.com but it’s far from slacking either. Design it and Post it up!

Coolest “Web Based” Image Editors
Here is a list of web-based image editors that I found to be the coolest.
Web based editors allow you to make changes to an image from anywhere without having to install applications for example when you are not at home or on your laptop. Or for support techs like me -- I work with Financial Advisors helping them develop their own websites and most of them have no use for photoshop and asking them to download a program like Infranview just to crop or resize one picture for their website would be illogical - so I'm always looking for easy to use web based image editors to link them to...which brings me to why I researched this topic and wrote this post. :) I hope some of you also find it useful.
WP Remix: Making WordPress a CMS, One Step at a Time
WP Remix pushes Wordpress to the max with a little bit of everything!
You may have never heard of the theme, but WP Remix just might be the most innovative and unique toolkit for Wordpress you've ever seen. Unlike your other premium "buy and install" themes, WP Remix comes in a single package filled with 50 amazing and unique layouts for Wordpress -- some of which you never thought possible...truly making it the closest thing to a CMS (content management system) Wordpress has ever seen.Features Unique Only to WP Remix
Theme specific features that you won't see elsewhere! There's no doubt that a lot of loving care was put into the creation of WP Remix. It actually has its own visual editor: once you install WP Remix, you'll be able to visit a special control panel within your Wordpress administration area, in which you can fine tune individual pages of your WP Remix driven website. Here's a feature list for WP Remix:- WYSIWYG editor: WP Remix has an expanded code editor. Drop in code that would otherwise have to be manually typed out!
- Smart drop-down menus: Wordpress dropdowns usually suck - it's true. To remedy this, WP Remix's design team created dynamic drop-down menus that go multiple levels deep. The menus will remember what page you came from, and what page you're currently on!
How to Video: Creating and Editing Pages with the WP Remix Theme
If your not sure this is the theme for you watch the video below to get a better understanding of how the themes admin interface works. Check out WP Remix if you need a kick-ass and comprehensive theme for your blog or company website! You won't regret it. Click here to visit WordPress Remix.

New Social Networking Icon Sets Galore!
Two cool new sites offering new social networking icon sets. It's always nice to see new sets and I'm always looking so if you know of one I have not posted please let me know or if you've designed one and you'd like to be featured - Let me know!
Both sites were designed using.. My Site My Way which is something new to me..what I found strange instead of them having their own domain names they use a subdomain - for example: icons.mysitemyway.com must be great for mysitemyway's search engine optimization! If I were the webmaster however at one of these sites I would definintly register my own domain name. I'd want my ranking, seo etc.. to go towards my site not my web hosts.
