If you’ve attended any of the WebDesign.com webinars, you’ve probably heard about Pugsley. Pugsley is Benjamin Bradley’s dog…He attends every webinar with Benjamin, and can sometimes be heard snoring during class.

People are always asking about him – and in particular, what he looks like. So here’s a special background you can use featuring Pugsley in all his glory.

Enjoy!

Day 3 of the 12 Days of WebDesign.com…and today’s gift is all about how to take advantage of the Kindle craze.

If you’re a web designer or business owner, you’ll be worth more to your clients and customers if you are constantly learning and growing. But of course you’re also busier than you’ve ever been, right? So who has time to read?

In this video CoryMiller, founder of iThemes Media, shows you how to take advantage of the power of the Kindle to enhance – and streamline – your professional development. He shares a secret about how we use Kindles throughout the company to keep us on the leading edge, as well as key questions and tricks he uses when reading to get more out of every book, while saving time in the process.

Enjoy! And remember to ask for a Kindle for Christmas.

What does this mean? It means you are invited to attend all the regular training webinars LIVE throughout the month of December.

To get your free pass, all you have to do is use coupon code FREEDEC at checkout and your total amount due will be dropped down to $0. (If you are a customer of iThemes or PluginBuddy, log in to your members’ download area and register from the “purchase & renew” link.)

Your coupon is good until the end of the 12 Days of WebDesign.com, but go ahead and grab it now so you can attend as many webinars as possible. FREEDEC

Curious about what webinars are being offered in December? There’s a whole range of topics from how to make your site play nice with Twitter, to working with BuddyPress, to what you really need to know about SEO and linking, to adaptive design, to a final “stump the professor” session that shouldn’t be missed.

There are 10 eligible webinars totaling about 14 hours of training time.  That’s 14 hours of LIVE training for free. Take a look at the Events page for the full listing.
(Once you get your free pass and log in to WebDesign.com you’ll be able to view the registration links for all the eligible webinars.)

(Please note, premium courses and Members’ Only Chats are excluded from the LIVE Webinar passes, as are video replays. The LIVE pass is for attending the webinars live.)

Stay tuned for Day 2 of the 12 Days of WebDesign.com…

We’re pleased to announce the upcoming launch of our new WebDesign.com members forum. Our team has worked tirelessly for months to plan, build, and implement a new members-only forum with new features and improved functionality. The new forum means less time “trying” to find stuff, and more time IMMEDIATELY getting down to business, interacting, asking, sharing and learning.

This new forum is one of the many benefits of membership at WebDesign.com. On the new forums, members will be able to discuss courses, ask questions of one another, share code snippets and examples, participate in continued discussions that started at live training events, and so much more.

Check out a few of the new forum features:

A Clean, Easy-To-Navigate Design

Nice, huh? Forum categories are now more streamlined and organized. You’ll notice individual forums are organized by topic with the most recent tickets visible on the right.

New Posts Editor

After logging into the new forum, you’ll notice the new topic posts editor–providing easier integration of code and rich media. You can add tags, format, and add/upload files or images to your post. The new posts editor makes it easier to copy/paste code and to include code formatting for different languages.

Advanced Search

Enjoy new, advanced forum search capabilities. Search queries can now be defined by section, topic, title, tag, author, or date. Define how results are displayed by sorting by number of views or posts.

Note: All existing posts from the old forum will be migrated into the new forum, so no support topics or threads will be lost.

More reliable email notifications and advanced PM’s (private messaging)

The new forum allows for consistent, reliable email notifications and easier-to-navigate private messaging. Manage your preferences directly from your user profile and specify your notification options.

The scheduled forum launch is Thursday morning. During this transition, we’ll be working to get the new forum up as quickly as possible. We’ll keep you posted with the latest updates via email and Twitter (@WebDesignCom). See you on the new forum soon!

You can still save 28% on your Premium Annual Membership (or 1 year renewal) at WebDesign.com – but only through midnight tonight.

As part of our Cyber Monday sale, simply use coupon code FREESHIPPING at checkout to take advantage of this extra savings.

Looking for plugins or themes instead? Good news! You can use the same coupon code on the PluginBuddy Developer Suite from PluginBuddy and the All Access Theme Pass from iThemes.

**Since it’s the holiday season, this is the perfect time to let your family know about a perfect gift you can really use. Much better than athletic socks, wouldn’t you say?

Get ready! The Cyber Monday celebration at WebDesign.com actually begins on Black Friday. No sense in confining your shopping and decision making to just one day, right?

So, from 12:01 AM on Friday, November 25 through midnight Monday, November 28th, you can save 28% using coupon code FREESHIPPING. (Yes, we know our products are all digital and don’t involve any shipping, but we thought we’d join in on all the free shipping lingo anyway.)

Your 28% savings can be applied to your Premium Annual Membership at WebDesign.com, the PluginBuddy Developer Suite, and/or the iThemes All Access Theme Pack. It’s your choice. Save on one, two, or all three.

Please note that this coupon cannot be combined with other coupons, and it will go away at midnight central time on Monday, November 28th.

Mark your calendars for Friday, November 25th to make sure you take advantage of your 28% savings.

Get ready for 12 days of gift giving from WebDesign.com!

Each day, December 1st through 12th, we’ll post a free gift right here on the blog. The gifts will range from fun surprises to coupons to great free graphics and reports to help you build your online business. We’re going to have a lot of fun with this – and hope you will, too.
