I've decided to release my Benevolent Under Construction Template (which also comes as a WordPress Theme) to the public. You will find all documentation inside the downloadable archive, but if you have any questions you can try posting them here...]]> http://zeglin.co.uk/benevolent-free-under-construction-template-and-wordpress-theme/ I spent several days trying to come up with a new solution. Quite literary, as it later occurred. I can't remember exactly what was the direct cause, but i started playing with fonts and colours in Photoshop, and accidentally selected AirBrush, size 144, on a blue gradient background...]]> http://zeglin.co.uk/alchemy-under-construction-template/ Hey! I've got another cool Under Construction template for you. Hopefully, at least as good as the previous one. I wish i had some more free time, putting up new items on ThemeForest is becoming quite addictive.. ]]> http://zeglin.co.uk/supercharged-under-construction-template/ Facebook's Social Plugins and API can be a great addition to any website aiming to offer at least a basic level of social connectivity.

After releasing Instant Search some time ago, The Corporation decided it?s time to introduce another improvement. It is supposed to be ?the next step in the story of Instant?, as Ben Gomes, a Google Distinguished Engineer says, but only time will tell if this is really pushing the boundaries of technology.]]> http://zeglin.co.uk/google-instant-previews Last week i decided to engage myself into becoming a contributor to Envato Marketplaces, which allows you to sell your digital goods, like various kinds of graphic design, Photoshop templates or WordPress themes. The registration process is quite straightforward, but in order to upload any files you need to pass what's called The Author Quiz, confirming that you've understood the Authoring Tutorial, which is an extensive document describing technical aspects of creating good quality files and covering copyrights issues...]]> http://zeglin.co.uk/first-graphicriver-net-submission/ When i first saw it i thought it's an illustration from a science fiction book. Or an evidence of divine intervention. But apparently this is real, and it's in Spain. Europe's first commercial concentrating solar power tower called Planta Solar 10 (or PS10) has an output of 11 MW. I promised myself to see it with my own eyes next time i'm there. Simply amazing.]]> http://zeglin.co.uk/solar-power-tower-in-seville/ http://zeglin.co.uk/site-relaunch/
