What You Can Expect in 2009
Well thankfully 2008 is over and we are onto 2009. Cardeo has been live as a design blog for about 4 months now and the response has been great. I’d like to thank all my readers and subscribers for helping make the website a success.
My plan for 2009 is to concentrate on a number of things that are listed below. If you would like to suggest any other types of content please do so in the comments. Happy New Year!
1. A website redesign – This is a big one. Now that the website has been live for a few months, there are a number of improvements I would like to make. Those are going to require a redesign which you can look for over the next couple months.
2. New WordPress Themes! I’m going to try my best to release at least 1 new theme a month. Minimal seems to be everyone’s favorite, so look for that style to be used often.
3. New Website Templates! Same goes for templates.
4. New Vector Packs! At least one a month is the plan.
5. More content in general.
Thanks!
