So this post got put up a bit later than usual, but that's part because we wanted to give as much of the day for any other October rundowns that would go up to be included, and part because we got sidetracked with branding Arbenting and getting the new site ready for launch. Neither of us remembered that though the post was ready, we didn't get it put up. Oops. So here's our weekly round-up of the best that we found in the design blogosphere. Next week we've got coming our Monday freebie, and on Tuesday we have an interview with Roger from Styletime. As our inspiration in color series rolls on, we have green falling into place on Friday. Sorry for the delay, today, but keep checking in and we'll keep the posts coming...
