Nice job, Allan!

Lots of interesting links!

[Wordsmith]

Just had to note that you forgot the Michigan Chronicle when listing newspapers.  But a lovely collection nonetheless Allan.

WS

[ZachariahDaMan]

Thanks for posting!  There was some cool links on there.

[Allan]

This list is still very much under construction.  I actually started it late last year, but just made it visible to you all today.  I will be adding more links & info as I have time.

There was a Detroit links thread before, but I'm not sure what happened to it.  I guess it got unpinned or moved elsewhere for some reason.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Have you thought about putting a couple of skyline, streetscape, and monument pics throughout it? say, at the beginning and end of it?

[Allan]

Yeah, some graphics are coming soon.  The rest will have to wait....

[MJLO]

hey man, is there a reason you didn't put Detroityes under the blog info? or am i not understanding it?

[Allan]

It's there...just not under blogs, since it is not a blog.  There is only one site I am intentionally leaving off the list, since the site's owner decided to start being a jerk to me.

^ And I think we all know which one that is, LOL.

[rbdetsport]

Yep we know.

[DetroitBazaar]

Thanks Allan for the add.  The more we see of our city, perhaps the more good can come.  We're doing what we can.  DetroitYes, we'd like to promote you too but somehow we can't sign up on a yahoo address and would rather not use our ISP's address.

Peace to Detroit

I love the pic. Did you take it, Allan?

[Allan]

Thanks.  The photo is one that I took.

[ironchapman]

How'd you get "Detroit: The Motor City" in it?

Paint, Powerpoint, something else?

Edited by ironchapman, 28 August 2005 - 06:17 PM.

[Allan]

Photoshop.  I fully intend to make much better graphics, but my life is getting more and more hectic with each passing hour.  I'm not going to tell you that the graphics will get done in two weeks, because I will sound like Kwame and the Book-Cadillac deal..."only two more weeks."  Look for improved graphics around Thanksgiving or Christmas.

[baldy]

Great compilation Allan!  The best I've seen for Detroit.  Thanks for spending the time to do this.

[wolverine]

I'll bet he used photoshop.  The best damn graphic editor out there.  Wolverine has upgraded to CS2, WoOT!  

[ironchapman]

^Do you have to pay for photoshop?

The closest things I have to graphics editors are Powerpoint and Paint. LOL

Edited by ironchapman, 30 August 2005 - 10:09 PM.

[Allan]

Well, you can illegally download it, get it from your university, or pay a whole bunch of money for it.  If none of those are options, I recommend photoshop elements.  It does most of what photoshop does for less than $100.

If you want a free image editor, use the Gimp.
