It is 2011, a new year full of new promises. DFXblog is getting started. The major hurdles of getting the site up and running are now behind me. During the process of getting the site to where it is now, I have a mountain of freebies and tips for WordPress. Which in turn made me look up tutorials for other programs, like flash, photoshop, illustrator, etc. So instead of compiling news, links, and images for the next update, I spent my time organizing these links.

Below is my list of goodies. Hope you like them!
