Hello, just a quick tip.
Your signup form should have a bigger z-index. I’m saying this because it goes under the advertisement on the top.

Good luck w your blog, it’s amazing.

The Photoshop one is my favourite, hands-down. I thought it was funny, but then I saw the year written on it – that’s when I was born.

“Helvetica Hell Yeah” is particularly clever, I think. But I’m a little biased. That’s my design. :) I can’t thank you enough for the kudos. I’ve had a boost in my sales recently and it’s probably due in part to this article (which I just stumbled upon today). Very encouraging to this newbie designer. Honorable mentions to “I can fix that” and “I feel golden”
