Yes I have a love affair with Fireworks. If I was a png file, I’d marry it.

Wow, you’re like the first person that I’ve talked to that uses Fireworks other than me. Everyone else uses Photoshop.

I like Fireworks because it’s really built for web applications (plus it integrates well with Dreamweaver) . . . not to mention it’s a hell of a lot easier to use and figure out than Photoshop.

Hey John! That is a cool site, I just discovered that last week actually. I do all my header designs in Fireworks so that’s a cool place to get some inspiration.

I like your current header. It fits your site well, but I’m sure it could easily be re-sized to take up less space above the fold. Let me know if you need any help.

Hi Cassie. I feel the header on our site is way too large and takes up too much room above the fold. I’m currently working on a new, more blogger friendly kind of place, header which will appeal to new bloggers.

For creating text images, here’s a really neat online tool to do this for you:

@Cassie: really? I have to dig through for it. I have the pdf file which is quite useless really. As soon as I find it, shall I email it over?

Would love to have some additional/creative insight…

@Ricardo – Hmmm, yeah I think I can picture a few changes that might make it pop a little more. Do you have a copy of the header you started with? I’d be interested to see it!
