   Thanks for the clarification, and you make a good point there about how a client who wants to pay $99 for a logo is likely to be a difficult client! It looks like $99designs does designers a favour by allowing cheap/difficult clients to el

   Is it just in the UK that people are increasingly unwilling or unable to take responsibility for their actions, or for their failure to educate their own children?! Yes, protect the children and all that, but where's the common sense? Unles

   I have a love/hate thing with these companies - 99designs is not the only one out there. In favour of them: * they offer affordable logos * you know exactly what you're getting for a fixed price On the flipside, there is plenty wrong with t

   Practise, practise, practise! In Real Life. Couchsurfing.org is good for this - you're not obliged to offer your couch. You can just meet up with people, hang out, speak English. Don't pitch it as "I want to practise my English with you" -

   Wow, I love the idea, and you're definitely targeting a problem that faces many people. My observations: - Why is the intro text set as an image? I know you have alt-text there, but it just seems an odd thing to do now-a-days. Also, when I

    It depends who you're targeting - suits, techs, artists? If you choose quirky, make sure it's smart quirky, and not glib quirky. "Your web guy" sounds a bit... bland. It sounds too average, like "Mr Site". Come back and let us know what

    I'd like to log in with my registered email address and be able to change my username. And a long shot: Because I can't change my username, I've got a few accounts here under the same email address - I'd like to be able to merge those acco
