Indesign Tip - Quick Switch for Measurements
You know you can type any measurement into any number field. (For example, even if your measurement preferences is set to inches, you can type “3p” into the X field to position an object at three picas.) But sometimes it’s helpful to actually change InDesign’s rulers.
You can change the ruler measurement system in the Preferences dialog box, but here’s an even faster method: Press Command-Option-Shift-U/Ctrl-Alt-Shift-U. Each time you press this shortcut, InDesign rotates through to the next measurement system (millimeters to centimeters to ciceros, and so on). One more technique you should know about: You can right-click on a ruler (or Control-click with a one-button mouse) to set the measurement system for that one ruler.

Layers magazine Tip of the Day Adobe Illustrator CS2 Tip – Selecting the Impossible.
The are some great selection secrets hidden under the Select menu that can really come in handy. One of my favorites is Select Direction Handles (Select menu > Object > Direction Handles). It allows you to select all the Direction Handles in an object even if their respective Anchor Points are hidden behind other objects. Normally, this would not be possible without first going into Outline Mode.

As you all can see, I am a Blogger…and so are many of you out there, you just don’t know it yet. In the last couple of years I have been producing blog after blog after blog, quitting and returning. I regret deleting my last blog, although I kinda had to according to agreements, but then again I decided to re-opened Photoshopped and want to do things the right way this time. Nothing serious , just these software companies accusing me of regular ole’ BS (you know what I mean!).
Their are Millions of Blogs out there on the internet today, and I am proud to be one of the Millions that participate to help and inspire others in any way I can. (more…)

Recompose All Stories - Indesign Tip of the Week.
Sometimes you need to re-compose all your stories in your
InDesign document. This could be because you changed your
hyphenation method, because you switched languages, or for
a handful of other reasons. Or perhaps you simply want to
make double-sure that all of your stories are composed with
the very current settings. But how to do that?
One way is to turn on the checkbox “Recompose all stories when
User Dictionary is modified” in the Dictionary panel of the Prefences
dialog box. Now make any change in the user dictionary, save this
change, wait until the stories have been re-composed, and finally
revert the change in the User Dictionary.
A much faster method is to choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, choose
the product area “Text and Tables,” scroll down the list to the entry
“Recompose all Stories immediately” and assign a keyboard shortcut to
it. Save your change, and then just type your new keyboard shortcut!

People often ask or email me asking for tips on Adsense know-hows, and I respond giving them the best advice I have aquired. I am not the type that’ll go out and buy a book on Adsense or Search Engine Optimization simply because I feel that this is something you should know on your own. If you build a website, you maintain a website and you continuously modify things here and there to make things look better to your website, then the best person who would know their web site is of course…who better than you.

Layers magazine Tip of the Day
Adobe InDesign CS2 Tip – New Document with No New Dialog.
You’re working on several documents during the workday that are exactly the same specifications. Being that all new documents take on the specifications of your last new document, is there a way to skip the “New” dialog window when you open a New document.
Yes! You can Command your way right by the window. Simply press Command + Option + N (Control + Alt + N on a PC) and you’re all set.
