The 10 Absolute Best Tutorials of 2008
Dec 30, 2008 Photoshop
Well, it’s time for the roundups of the year. There are a thousand blogs all doing their own roundups, so I figured I’d start with a small roundup of my own. Don’t worry, I’ve got a few bigger roundups that will happen throughout this week, such as the Top 100 Photoshop Tutorials of 2008 from PhotoshopLady, and the Must-See Posts of 2008.
So here are the 10 posts that I believe are the hands-down, absolute best tutorials on graphic design during 2008. They were selected based on the techniques presented, the skills taught, and the final outcome. So if you’re looking to improve your graphic design skills, start with these tutorials and you’ll be well on your way to becoming a design master.

WordPress Flash Uploader Fix
Dec 28, 2008 Wordpress
This has been a commonly requested fix, and I know that many people (myself included) have had issues with the Flash Uploader in WordPress 2.7. Therefore, I browsed the internet and the WordPress forums until someone finally posted a fix. The issue was not with Flash Player as theorized, but instead something with the upgrade. The Flash Uploader wouldn’t load the “Select Files” button, and therefore all images would have to be uploaded with the Browser Uploader.
Alright, well let’s take a look at the fix.
