We’re making some major traction on the new LocalWisdom.com website. This is going to be exciting!
As you all recall the homepage of the new website will be editable by all employees. We will be able to upload pics and post to the homepage from our cell phones or from the LW blog.
Download the template psd and design away! (23MB – right click to download)
With the template you’ll be able to really create curated and well designed imagery for the homepage. You really only need to know Photoshop basics to work with this.
Download the template demo (19MB – right click to download)… there’s no excuse, I smell a contest coming around.

Not sure if anyone else already knew this, but I just found out myself as I was sitting here at my computer and thought, I’d love to hear/watch the game while I get some work done in my office (I don’t have a TV in here). Anyway, went to google and found out that the nfl broadcasts the games live on their site. I would have been happy with a little screen of the game, but I put it full screen and the quality is pretty good!
Also, they give you 5 camera angles which you can pick from. The one you are watching is big and right in the center, and in the corners are the 4 others…. They have commercials just like regular tv and they even show Adobe Flash commercials as everything is in flash 10.
Check it out if you’re looking to watch the Sunday night game and there’s no tv around!
