www.PlurkLayouts.com Released!
September 4, 2008
On the 19th of August 2008 we purchased a new domain. A collection of about, six people knew what the domain address was and only three weeks later we’re done and it is officially live! 
Rosanna and I have been working on Plurk Layouts for the maximum of two weeks as we had friends to stay and couldn’t do both at once! 
Together we have been putting the website together and also creating new layouts we have yet to add here - all our layouts will now, of course be on www.plurklayouts.com - so head over there if you’re looking for a new Plurk profile layout. 
We suggest you check out the following:
- Plurk for Beginners
- Request A Layout
- All/New Layouts
- Featured Layout
- Subscribe to our News Feed (you’ll get notified of new layouts, posts etc via email)
- Fan or befriend our Plurk Profile: PlurkLayouts
We hope you enjoy our new website! 
Project #1, no #2, no #1… oow my head!
August 20, 2008
Almost two weeks after we released LTY Tutorials redesign Rosanna and I are scheming… we’ve mentioned an up and coming project and it is still very much up and coming. I had a meeting with someone about it this week and if things go well it should only take a few months to plan out and get up and running… that’s project #1…
But I said we’ve been scheming… and we have; project #2 this project is much smaller and something we have already began to work on. In fact as I type this now the
- domain is live and on our server
- files for it are uploaded
- and we’re working on the structure and design
So we’re moving along pretty quickly considering the domain was bought the 19th of August 2008!
Really this blog is just to vent out my excitement about project #2 - but also to mention a few things.
- 1) New Poll - while we’re working on project #2 we’ll still update, but need to know which you would prefer. So get voting or leave a comment if you want something else.
- 2) Photography Gallery - using Flickr temporarily as the gallery doesn’t currently work properly (hence why the homepage “image” is of meeeeee!)
- 3) Subscribe to LTY Designs: top of the navigation bar, you’ll see a little field to enter your email - if you subscribe you’ll get instant news for our latest posts, pages, photographs etc. Just thought I’d mention that for those who aren’t getting informed.

LTY Tutorials Redesign Released!
August 7, 2008
One hour ago, we completed LTY Tutorials redesign and restructure. It is finally live and ready for you to check it out!
It’s been two months since we redesigned LTY Designs and now we have finished both websites! Very exciting. Both websites are similar, I’m sure you’ll find - it’s what we have been aiming for. Trying to keep them similar without looking exactly the same. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the redesign as much as we do - and find it useful.
We have added lots of new tutorials and other sections, which include 1-to-1 assistance via telephone, photoshop tutorials for beginners, articles and more.
Rosanna and I are both thrilled that it’s finished - only one more project to go!
Hope you like it and do let us know what you think, and also what you’d like to see on it.
Lots of love,
Olivia
LTY Tutorials - Redesigned
LTY Forums; Released & Live!
July 8, 2008
LTY Designs has been quiet lately, but it’s because I’ve been working on LTY Forums! Rosanna has, in the mean time been working on LTY Tutorials which is about 95% completed. :D
LTY Forums is something we’ve been trying to do for a long time, but haven’t really succeeded in getting it to work - in the sense that, we were using the wrong type of system and had three separate MBs. So this time, we went for something completely new; and it even looks similar to LTY Designs! 
The forums are going to be much more multipurpose; we aim on targeting designers, yes. But also artists, photographers, writers and just about anyone else. We’re looking to expand it, likely having a bigger fashion and beauty board and what ever else you want.
It’s still a work in progress, but from now on we need everyone’s input so we can make it into the community we have envisioned.
So… check it out: Go to… LTY Forums!
Showcased by CSS Lounge & CSS Mania
June 19, 2008
Yesterday evening we discovered that CSS Mania, added LTY Designs to their stunning gallery of inspiring CSS Web designs.
If that wasn’t enough we also discovered this morning that the wonderful CSS Lounge also showcased LTY Designs on their beautiful gallery.
What an honor!
It was only yesterday we discovered that we were added to Design Shack’s amazing gallery of inspiring CSS Web designs which Olivia wrote about in another post when she found out, then little after that we found out we’re being showcased on CSS Mania and then this morning CSS Lounge.
Olivia and I are just ecstatic - we’ve never been showcased on websites like CSS Mania and Design Shack… or in fact anything! It’s a wonderful honor to be showcased on such websites! 
A big thank you to you all, our visitors for coming to LTY Designs, using this website and thus making us strive to improve LTY Designs for you - it’s all down to you that we’re here now and being showcased.

Design Shack: Showcasing LTY Designs
June 18, 2008
This morning we received an email from Design Shack, letting us know that LTY Designs has been added to their gorgeous gallery of inspiring CSS Web designs. 
I have been a subscriber for a number of months, always finding inspiration in the websites they showcase which I receive via email. I’ve spent a long time browsing their website, enjoying and envying all the showcased websites.
I never thought LTY Designs would be good enough to be showcased, so as I’m sure you can guess Rosanna and I are both elated. What an honor to be showcased on Design Shack.
“We only offer the cream of great design” - Design Shack
We’re both at a loss for words really, just so delighted to be showcased.
You can view this page by clicking here.
You can see our little logo/top part of the layout displayed on the left of Design Shack’s homepage.
Go Wild; get t-shirts?!
June 15, 2008
Hehehe, I chopped Rosanna’s head off in this photograph, poor head! 
But it’s only because she went to pick salad and got all wet but I needed a picture of her t-shirt so it was the only way she’d let me take it. 
Anyway… for a while we’ve been considering graphic design t-shirts and LTY Designs related ones. Something fun and funky to wear.
Now that we finally have the new design and restructure out of the way it is the next thing on the list! Yikes, no one wants to see our list of things to do.
So, what do you reckon?
They would be ones with just basic text, fun, colour text of course - with lots of different sayings, quotes… not only LTY Designs related.
We would also have graphic, abstract, crazy designs on them too, something like Rosanna’s t-shirt, but of course designed by Rosanna or myself.
We haven’t yet made anything as we thought it would be sensible to find out first whether anyone would like t-shirts. Hence this post!

This is the back of Rosanna’s t-shirt - her left hand is holding her hair up so you can see the design.
Brand New and Beautiful
June 3, 2008
We’re back!
Not that we ever really left, we’ve been here slaving away, working hard on this new restructure of LTY Designs and the very simple layout…
Rosanna made the lovely logo; logos and I just do not like each other… everything I try I hate, so Rosanna did it and I think it’s ten times better than anything I have ever attempted to make. But shh, don’t tell her - she’ll get a big ego!
We haven’t been adding any new content until now as we were literally ripping the pages apart and putting them all together on a secret website so we could get everything done and not disturb the main website.
Sorry things have been so quiet lately. Nonetheless, we’re back and will be working hard (more visibly) on LTY Designs. Along with LT Tutorials and our new projects.
