Supah Busy and a Supah Challenge....

Whewww!!! I have been BUSY. In case you haven't heard, I have been working on redesigning Supah Mommy's web site.

I realize that I may be a bit biased, but I absolutely LOVE IT!!!  So much, in fact, that I almost changed my name and kept it for myself.  Unfortunatly, Supah knows my name and where I live, so I gave up the goods.  Here is a preview, but you really have to visit the web site to see it in all of it's glory...

I had such a great time developing this site and I learned a ton of new tricks that I'm just itching to put to good use.  I'm offering TWO great specials for the rest of the month....



But first, a story.  Some of you may have heard of Little Monkey:








Is she not the cutest thing you have ever seen? Sadly cancer is a cold hearted bitch and doesn't care how adorable you are.  Last week Monkey was diagnosed with neuroblastoma.  As you can image this is a horribly emotionally trying for her mom and dad.  The financial strain of caring for a child with cancer doesn't end with medical bills...there is additional time off of work for the parents, the cost of travel and hotel accommodations for treatments, the cost of additional childcare for Monkey's two amazing sisters....the list goes on.  To add financial turmoil to the situation would be untenable.

Since we in the blogosphere are NOT all about talk we are banding together to help Monkey and her family through this difficult time.  If you would like to donate independently Ian will have the details up soon.  If not, here are some special offers to sweeten the deal.....

#1.  Half off the price of a Summary Homepage.  One of the coolest things about Supah's page is the summary Homepage.....a little snippet of her last few blog posts in one convenient location.  Normally I would charge $12 to add the code for this upgrade, but until June 25th I will do it for only $6.....AND if you choose to pay the full amount ($12) I will donate the WHOLE amount (all $12) to the Monkey Fund.

#2. $5 buttons!!!  Okay...that's not a discount, but if you purchase a static (not animated) button before June 25 I will donate the $5 to Monkey.


I am officially issuing the following CHALLENGE TO SUPAH......

Whoever raises the MOST MONEY FOR MONKEY will have the privilege of posting a FULL SIZE photo of the other IN FULL HIGH SCHOOL FIELD HOCKEY GARB on their blog.  **Throwing down the gauntlet...**

Summer Twitter Backgrounds

Summer is nearly here and it is time to update your wardrobe!!  Don't worry....you don't even need to shave your legs for these summer beauties.  Enjoy one of my brand new summer themed Twitter backgrounds!!

Adding new backgrounds to twitter is super easy.  First, to download one of the twitter background below right click on the image and select "Save Link As...."  Just keep in on your desktop for now.   Next, log into your account and click on "Settings" in the upper right hand corner.  Then click on "design" along the top.  Finally scroll all the way down and Click on "Change Background Image". You can now select the image you just saved and hit "Save Changes"  Easy as Pie!!

You are now officially ready to tweet at the beach or poolside!!

Grand Opening!!

Welcome to the official grand opening of Rocky Run Design. In celebration of not only my new venture, but also my *cough cough* 35th *Cough cough* birthday I'm going to continue the free favicon offer I started over at my (now defunct) Delinquent Design site. So If you are looking to spruce your website up just a little wee bit (16 x 16 pixels to be exact) leave me a comment with your web address and your email and I'll make you up a little something special.

What is a favicon you ask. It is that little tiny picture next to your blog address. A custom favicon is a great way to stand out on bookmark lists and blogrolls!

This offer ends one week from today on April 8th. But check back because I have plans for more great freebies that you won't want to miss!

Pardon the Digital Dust

Hi and welcome to Rocky Run Design. We aren't officially open for business yet, but if you will pardon the digital dust feel free to have a look around. Stop back on April 2 for our grand opening extravaganza!!

Free Favicons for Everyone

Hello and welcome to the official launch of Delinquent Designs. In honor of my new venture I am offering a FREE custom FAVICON to everyone who leaves me a comment over the next week. Just mention in the comment where your blog is and how I can send you the code and install instructions for your favicon. If you have something special in mind please let me know, if not I will choose a central theme from your blog.

If you love your new favicon please consider some further enhancements to your blog.
