Keep Your Widgets (updated)
I updated the template on my photo blog yesterday. I've pretty much ignored that one for a while, and I was still using an OLD Blogger layout. Anyway, I found a template I like and decided to install it. And that's when I noticed that Blogger now lets you choose to keep your widgets when you upload a new template - instead of having to lose them all, or manually find them in your old template and insert them into the new one. I'm not sure when this started because I haven't changed a template in a while, but this is going to make changing your template so much easier.

Twitter Followers on Your Twitter Background
I'm thinking it's about time for a new background for my twitter page, but I'm not sure what I want. Do I want to create a custom background, which would take some kind of idea and artistic talent? Or do I just want to pick a free one from one of the many sites that offer them? I still haven't decided, but I noticed one of the people I follow on twitter was using a background from Twilk - so I had to check it out.
It looks like fun. Basically you sign in with twitter, and Twilk creates you a background made up of the profile photos of the people you follow, or your followers, or both - however you want to set it up. The more you mention, retweet, or interact with someone, the more they should show up in your background.
I haven't decided if I'm going to try it or not, but it does offer a very unique background for everyone - unless, as someone said, you have the exact same followers and interact with them the exact same way as someone else does - highly unlikely.

Free Photoshop Brushes
I came across this list of free Photoshop brushes today - the best brushes in various categories. There are some nice looking ones here, and I think I could have some fun with some of these. I haven't downloaded or installed any of them, so I'm saving this list for later.
