Calendar - designed in Adobe InDesign featuring photos of nature

My annual calendar is custom-made. What started off as a Christmas gift for grandparents, now is enjoyed by friends and family. 

Firefox set-up

My Firefox was acting buggy, so I reinstalled it today which means I also needed to reinstall the Add-ons to make life on the web easier.

Here's my list of add-ons/extensions:

1. For any user of Firefox, I recommend Adblock - if you get tired of seeing all the ads
2. Colorzilla - for a handy eyedropper to sample colour on web pages, which copies the formula to your clipboard so you can paste the value in another program
3. Empty cache - for a quick button instead of digging into your preferences every time
4. Firebug - for web designers who are inspecting elements
5. SEO site tools - I haven't used this before, so I'm going to see how it performs
6. Wave - for web designers in Ontario who want to test their pages for AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians With Disabilities Act) accessibility
7. Web Developer - for web designers - a great batch of tools

What addons do you use and love?

Photo cards

Full colour, edge-to-edge design with part of the image wrapping around to the back. Greeting cards are blank on the inside which feature my photography from Wellington County, Ontario.

Wedding shower invite

I recently designed this wedding shower invite so that I could get 4-up on an 8.5x11" sheet of paper. Cost-effective, and easy to print!

Adding automatic date to website footer

I added this little script to my website footer so now the date will never need to be updated again. Yay!

<script>document.write(new Date().getFullYear())</script>

List of job search websites - updated

I updated a few dead links in this list. This list of websites are in the Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario region. Although, some of these are national.

I have not listed company-specific career sections on their corporate websites.

Please let me know if there are any sites that you think should be added to the list.

Job search engines:

(These sites scrape data from other sites and compile results. Listings are not necessarily from the original poster. I've found really old postings on some of these sites--> postings that have been filled. So watch for that.)
