Upcoming at Arbenting
One more for the vaults wraps up as we move towards tomorrow’s horizon and the week that waits with it. Here at Arbenting we have a full week planned, and we are as excited about all the goodness that is coming as we are about all the new subscribers that we have! For our Monday Freebie this week, we have a new Arbenting Texture Pack for download, and on Tuesday look for a sort of follow-up article on Google Chrome. Our Inspiration in Color series goes purple this Friday so be sure to stop in and check that out. And we will also have the next installation of our Blog Action Day Extended Coverage, which will also double as an entry in Jacob Cass’ Group Writing Contest he has going to help the cause. As we said, it's a full week here, and we will see you on the other side.
We also have an Arbenting announcement about an upcoming launch for our latest venture Dead Wings Designs. This is the darker side of our design endeavors as we explore snowboard and skateboard creation. The site will launch officially on 01/01/09, but in the meantime we have a twitter account set up for Dead Wings, for anyone interested who would like to start getting updates on what is to come on that front. We will also be putting a blog on the site to keep the flow of info going.

Recent Redesigns
There is a season for everything, and this season seems to be one of redesign. So many blogs have undergone a transformation as of late, so we thought we would take a moment to acknowledge a few of the ones that we have noticed.
