You gave some great advice and I want to link it to my blog.<br /><br />I want people to love their blog so I do all the changes they want to make that happen but I have had people take advantage of that and it is really disheartening. I hate that I have to get more strict and protect myself just because of a few.<br /><br />Other than that, I have awesome customers!!Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09998069585904730402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935221252630026678.post-29332340309033318162009-12-14T15:55:55.478-05:002009-12-14T15:55:55.478-05:00That's excellent advice on working with a desi...That's excellent advice on working with a designer. It's such a different process than other "joint projects" I've done. When I was having Eat at Home redone, I found a website that went through all the elements of a blog design and what makes them work (header, side bars etc). It was a nice check list for me to use as I discussed things with my designer.Tiffany @ Eat at Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704236759949044726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935221252630026678.post-86523865355343228192009-12-12T09:04:40.460-05:002009-12-12T09:04:40.460-05:00I'm so glad you made this post Amanda because ...I'm so glad you made this post Amanda because its stuff I've wanted to say for ages but coming from a designer it sounds like I'm being "narky"....which I'm not :)My Diabetic Sweet Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17469420526740273450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935221252630026678.post-44042031850661765992009-12-11T23:08:10.025-05:002009-12-11T23:08:10.025-05:00This is a great post, Amanda!

Many of those steps are similar to how I run my mock-ups and get client approval.<br /> <br />On twitter, one of the people in my design circle posted a comic that talks about what happens when designers' clients deconstruct the design with "just a little change..." - makes me giggle every time I read it. Thought your readers would appreciate the laugh:<br /><br />http://theoatmeal.com/comics/design_hell<br /><br />(warning it's a little crude!)<br /><br /><br />Warmly,<br />Darcy<br />Graphically Designing<br />http://graphicallydesigning.comDarcy - Graphically Designinghttp://graphicallydesigning.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935221252630026678.post-24481660891028888372009-12-11T18:02:22.287-05:002009-12-11T18:02:22.287-05:00Awesome Amanda!
