Look Hear - March 2010
In March, I'm going to be doing a little talk about our web design process here at Newism. There are very few web designers at this event, so I'm taking the chance to give other people in the industry some insight into what we do and how we do it.

Michael Jordan’s greatest Gatorade moment? Vote with Wildfire on Facebook.
Working closely with Wildfire, we implemented a brand new voting based promotion for Gatorade and it launched today!
It wasn't easy but the results speak for themselves (over 500 votes in the first couple of minutes). The promotion even includes a tasty embedded Flash video in the header, which we didn't think was even possible in a Wildfire app, but it gives a very, very cool effect — and I'm not even a fan of Flash.

Fixoutlook.org - Using Twitter to petition Microsoft
A little over a week ago our friends at Campaign Monitor asked us to help them use Twitter to send a message to Microsoft about their decision to use the Word rendering engine in Outlook 2010. The result was http://fixoutlook.org and an unprecedented 20,000 strong online movement that took both us and Microsoft by surprise.

Building Campaign Monitor
Newism recently launched the new Campaign Monitor website - which so far is our biggest and most advanced project to date. Along the way we learned some fantastic things about building and deploying a major site, and rather than keep all of this amazing new learning to ourselves we've decided to share it via a multi-part blog series. Huzzah!

The New Campaign Monitor
Over the past three months, Newism have had the privilege of building not only the epic new Campaign Monitor website, but also a teaser site at http://www.thenewcampaignmonitor.com/. Campaign Monitor (if you are one of the twelve people who haven't heard of it) is a world-class email marketing product from Australian company, Freshview.

Bits & Pixels is on again this weekend!
Bits & Pixels is a social get-together for web designers and developers based in Newcastle and the Central Coast of New South Wales Australia. We meet up at a particular venue and just hang out for a few hours, chatting about life, work and everything in between.
It's a friendly and casual event, so don't expect anything too serious. It gives you a chance to get away from the computer, network with people in the industry and talk about the latest news, technology and everything else about the industries we work in.

Hello world - Part I
The virtual plumbers have fixed their leaky tap. After what seemed like was a millenium, the Newism site would like to say hi.
Why Part 1? Simply because this is a soft launch of our new website, available to a lucky few including our friends, colleagues and family. We know it's not 100% complete but it's coming along nicely, and with a bit more and polish it should be ready for general public consumption in the very near future. Until then, here's the Newism story so far, where we currently stand, and an insight of what we are planning for the future.

LG .htaccess Generator - Removing index.php from your ExpressionEngine site
One constant frustration I see new and experienced users expressing in the ExpressionEngine forums expressing is how do they easily remove the index.php from their ExpressionEngine site.
The first point of call is usually "Remove index.php From Urls" documentation in the ExpressionEngine Wiki which lists three main methods and their caveats. The three methods listed in the wiki are:
Each method has their good and bad points which are listed after the jump.
