Time past fast ( what a classic opening ), LoonDesign is 1 year old already. LD (LoonDesign) had provide some good stuffs for the readers. Me, the only one who is running this site all the while. She gave me a lot of sweet memories but there is also some negative feedbacks. All the way, I would like to say thank you to all my readers who always return and show me their support and interest. Let’s back to where we met …

Memories

From the beginning, I only wish to write some tutorials and get some traffics so that I can earn some pocket money from our local advertising company. End up, all of them seem like not so promising and having some “friendly fighting” among them. So, I quit. I go for paypost. I write whatever they offer. End up, I am having a “rojak (mixed)” content blog. I don’t like it. So, I changed. I stay focus on writing stuffs what related to my field - web design. I am sure that I made a correct decision. I am more happy to manage the site in this way and direction.

Now, I still write some paypost. The different is advertisers will look for me and I will also filter the topic they want. I will also reject the offer which is not related to my site or I think their products or services are not good. I always love to share good stuffs with my readers.

Below are some of the best of LD.
