X-Ray Magazine’s 25000$ Giveaway
X-Ray Magazine was released in 1996 as a paid print magazine dedicated to QuarkXPress users. In 2004 the magazine was acquired by ThePowerXChange, an XTensions and plugins vendor which provided also PDF articles to subscribers.
Starting November 2007 the magazine is completely free and web based.

Server switch complete
The hosting switch is now completed. We are running on SiteGround servers. We would like to thank SiteGround for it’s excellent support during this operation.
We went with SiteGround because of the great hosting plans they offer, great support and we know this for a fact because we have an additional website hosted at them (zaBox Network).
Thank you and we apologize for any down time we might of had during the server switch.
Switching hosting companies
In the course of the following days we’ll be switching our hosting company. We are doing this because of the overall increasing number of visitors CrazyLeaf Design gets every month. So this change was necessary in order to provide better services, better loading times, and much more space for design resources.
We apologize for any down time we may experience during this move.
Thank you.
Featured Designer #2 - Saizen Media
Saizen Media is one of my favorite design companies on the market. Their attention for detail is incredible. Their graphic design and Flash skills are quite simply incredible. Here are a few examples :
Google Knol - Wikipedia watch out
Knol is a new service being developed by Google and it will serve as a storehouse of knowledge on the internet, much as Wikipedia. In fact many industry experts see this new Google service as a direct competitor for Wikipedia and similar types of websites.
While the two websites have many similarities, the main difference between Google Knol and Wikipedia is that Wikipedia allows virtually anyone to edit an entry while Knol only allows the author of each particular “knol,” – which is what the individual pages in the service will be called – to do so. This means that the same topics could have many different authors with sometimes contrasting – or even competing – points of view.
Knol – the name of which is derived from the word “knowledge” – is being developed to allow people to create Web pages on virtually any topic. When completed, it will include several features that will allow its users the ability to perform a number of tasks, such as submitting comments, rating individual web pages and suggesting changes.
At this time Google Knol is accessible only by invitation but you can take a look at it here.
