Although the domain name was registered on the 26th of February JustGareth.com was actually launched on the 1st of March. This blog has come on leaps and bounds, however I expected it to be a heck of a lot more popular than it is at the minute. I’m averaging five hundred visitors per day now, even though I barely update the blog it is quite astounding.
I look forward to when I have more time to make more showcases, if you haven’t already realised I love making them. Currently I only have a few showcases, but I have a few planned for the future whenever I get some time to research into them.
My most popular showcase is “15 Outstanding But Simple Wordpress Themes You (Probably) Have Not Seen“.
Funnily enough I only remembered about the blogs birthday there now thanks to John Matthews when we were discussing our networks. So thanks for reminding me there bud!
Anyway, this blog is due a new showcase and I have a few plans for some interesting reviews. Stay tuned.

I’m so stoked guys. The past few days I’ve been arguing with myself whether to buy the Mac Mini with a 24″ display or the popular iMac 27″. Well after debating with myself hours on end I ended up ordering the iMac 27″.
This should prove useful for designing and marketing on some of my websites. I like big screens as I am very organised and hate small screens that make everything seem crushed together. Read the rest of this entry »

If you go back three years ago websites were very boxy and insipid. Dull colours varied with lifeless and meaningless logos. Whereas you can look today at websites as a trend, fashion sense and be thought upon as something that needs to be updated.
Are you thinking of entering the designing world? Creating elaborate logo designs to endless pixelated images? I was introduced to Photoshop in late 2007 but never became fully interested in designing until 2008 when I realised my brother was reputable at designing websites. This is when I started as I like the competition it appears us brothers have between ourselves. Read the rest of this entry »

You probably don’t think I’m the kind of guy who is grateful of seeing good photography. Neither do I to be honest, sometimes I think some artists or photographers are crazy taking photographs of flowers, pencils and rocks… I’ve never made a blog post specifically about something that would catch your eye, so today I’ve gathered some top quality photographs of transportation around the world.
After reading this blog post please do leave a comment and let me know what you think of what I gathered together. I’d like to know what my readers actually think of the blog post.

The internet is an essential part of life in the 21st Century. It has had a profound impact of the way people shop, work, play, gather information, are entertained, and how they connect and interact with one another.

Here are 21 important and helpful reasons to why the internet plays a huge part in a humans daily life. Read the rest of this entry »

7 Powerful & Spiteful Reasons to Why I Hate & Look Down Upon Online Webmaster Forums
In: Communication| Showcase
I’m going to be up front and honest in this blog post. I absolutely hate webmaster forums! Yes, hate is a strong word and shouldn’t be used but for this case I’m using it because I hate them with a passion.
Forums are so saturated and some are popular where people think they are awesome. They end up going on these crappy webmaster forums non stop when you could be working, writing an article or adding content to your blog.
Many may ask why I hate webmaster forums? Thankfully I have written out 7 factors to why I hate them so much with such a strong passion! Read the rest of this entry »

Bad news awaits. I can’t blog certain days due to work commitments and personal reasons. Plus everyone deserves a social life, except an online social life via Twitter.
As my readers should know. Incase you don’t know. I don’t blog on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, but I do try my best to blog the other days. Now some may say why?
I don’t blog for the main reason being not many people are on the internet those certain days. Most online freaks are trying to get out as much as possible and the majority of the population is not on the internet.
Sorry, but just letting you know… Have a nice weekend and I shall try enjoy work as much as possible.
Web design is becoming a very saturated niche nowadays and in order to compete amongst the ever growing community of designers you must have a fresh portfolio loaded with rich designs. Today I have made another blog post about incredibly minimalist web 2.0 themes that haven’t been blogged about before or paid much attention to. Some are absolutely gorgeous and others just as good, if not better! This blog post is definitely worth your parousal and will come in useful for designers in need of inspiration.
