Welcome to the spoonfed revolution
I’m not a big fan of “state of this blog” type posts. But here we go anyway, because I need to introduce myself. My name is Scott. Matt has moved on to bigger and better things, and now it’s in my hands to make Spoonfed Design a bigger and better blog.
First the basics. Great original design articles, tips and tutorials, and discussions of inspiring work have always been what Spoonfed Design is all about, and will remain so. But you will also be seeing some changes in the months ahead, as SFD adopts a new look and branches out in some new and perhaps unexpected directions. As that process gets underway, I want to take this opportunity to ask for the continuing support of the great community of designers, graphic artists and other readers already established here. Don’t abandon this ship–regular posting will resume soon! (more…)

SFD has been has been in what one may call “beta” mode for some time now, but the version 1.0 is finally here! After a large amount of development and planning Spoonfed Design version 1.0 is finally here, and there’s a lot of new stuff to dive into.
An All New Look
First and foremost, you will notice the all new design. It is a clash of a simple content layout, with a detailed and vibrant background and header illustration. The illustration is a mix of vector shapes and paths, lighting effects, and elements that relate to design, such as the iMac.
Get Paid Up to $150 to Write for SFD
Another big update is the guest posting system. In an effort to get more writers to share their knowledge, we are offering $100 to $150 for articles. If you want to write for SFD, give me a shout via matt@vaeou.com, I’d love to have you on board.
Community Links Feature
SFD is growing as a community, so we are now offering a new feature to support the community, a community links feature. This is located in the sidebar, and you can add links to your work, blog posts, articles, and other useful resources.
Threaded Comments
Furthermore, we have fixed up the comment form, and one new feature is threaded comments. You can now reply to specific comments very easily. Just click the “Reply” button under a comment to do so.
New Navigation and Daily Inspiration
Finally, there are numerous features that were moved and altered. First, the navigation was moved to the sidebar. Also, the daily inspiration section is in the footer, so it can be accessed easily from every page.
More to Come!
SFD still has more to come, including a few more tweaks to version 1.0 and more features that are currently in development, and of course, we’ll keep the content coming. Thanks to all for the readership, and we hope you enjoy SFD v1.0!

One Lonely Comment
Unfortunately, over the last few days, Spoonfed Design has been down due to major server issues, and that is also why we have been able to publish any new content. We are working to get this fixed as quickly as possible. As of now, our server is being migrated, but we will not be able to publish anything until we are running on the new server.
Thank you all for your readership, and I apologize for the inconvenience. We will be completely back up and running within a few days!

So, as you can tell there has been a lot changing lately. With the change to the new year, I decided it was finally time for a change in Spoonfed Design. Here are a few of the updates, and there are many more to come!
The New Look
Now that Spoonfed has been going for a good amount of time, I decided it was finally time for a completely original theme. So here it is. Now, it’s still far from finished and there are many more tweaks to work out, but it is getting there. I hope to have it completed in about a week.
The Inspiration Gallery
As some of the RSS subsribes may have noticed yesterday, the first two inspiration posts from the new gallery were published. It was actually three, one of them was a test that wasn’t intended to be published (sorry about that!). Anyway, the new inspiration gallery is underway. I will be posting at least one item to the gallery everyday.
Where is the gallery located? Well, on every page! The inspiration gallery is located at the bottom of every page, all you have to do is scroll down.
The gallery still has a few elements needed before it is officially complete, but I wanted to get it up and running.
Become An Author, Get Payed
Now you have a chance to spread your knowledge to other designers through Spoonfed Design, and get payed for doing so. I am now offering $10 per article and $25 per tutorial.
What exactly am I looking for? Almost anything design related: how-to, tutorials, tips, round-ups, inspiration round-ups, techniques, and interviews.
Just email me to let me know exactly what you’re writing. You can reach me at matt@spoonfeddesign.com.
Keep in mind that if I approve of your initial idea, that doesn’t mean I will accept the final draft.
