Super Easy Contest to Win

One of our sponsors, Flashloaded, has given us a few copies of 3D Wallto give away. Rather than have some lame “leave a comment” contest, we have decided to something a little different. We want you to help us test out our new server.

Are We Digg Proof?
You may have noticed that the site now loads much faster then before. This is thanks to our new host, A Small Orange, and our friend over at Six Revisions. There have been a lot of tweaks to the server and we want to test them out and see how digg proof the server actually is.

How to Win
There are two ways to win a copy of the 3D Wall by Flashloaded:

Digg this post: 26 Free Developer Icons Sets (Direct digg link)
Become our friend on Digg: Our Digg profile

One copy of the 3D Wall will be given to a random person who diggs the post and the other copy will be given to a random person who becomes friends with us on digg. Simple enough, right?

Design Inspiration - Group Writing Project

There is no shortage design inspiration online these days. You don’t have to search to hard to find a CSS, Flash, logo, or graphic design gallery. In fact, I think it is safe to say that many of us have probably wasted more hours on these types of sites than we care to admit.

While these collections of design inspiration are a great catch all, Im always interested in seeing designers personal collections of design inspiration. I like to see the stuff they blog about, bookmark, and comment on, which is why I am starting this group writing project.

Update

First, I would like to say thank you to everyone who sent their ideas and support. Especially Six Revisions.

We are still looking for guest authors. If you are interested, please email me at davedbrosche {at} gmail {dot} com

Thanks to a nice recommendation from Six Revisions, we will be switching from Media Temple to A Small Orange Hosting. Needles to say, over the next day or two the site may off and on.

Thank you for hanging in there with us. If you encounter any problems with the site, please let me know

We Need Your Support

Overnight our database was attacked and our collection of great freelance and graphic design resources was destroyed.

****UPDATE****

We have managed to recover some of our previous post via Google cache. While we have recovered a decent amount, it is still no where near its previous state, but some is better than none.

Over the next few days we will be migrating servers, fixing the content tags and catagories, correcting the layout, and hopefully publishing some content submitted by our AWESOME READERS.

***********

To add insult to injury, Media Temple doesn’t currently offer a backup option and claims to have no restoreable version of the database on their server.

In order to get Outlaw Design Blog back up to previous state of greatnes, we need your help.

We are looking for as many guest authors as possible. If you have any interest in writing a post for us, creating a list of resources, reviewing design tools, tutorials, or any other type of article, please contact me at davedbrosche{a}gmail{dot}com
