Joining 9rules Network

September 06, 2005

Back in August Mike Rundle form 9rules wrote me an email, asking me whether I would be interested in joining the 9rules Network or not. Well I think you can imagine that it is an honor getting asked to join a network featuring only high quality weblogs. So I agreed.

About

9rules logoSo here I am, a proud member of the 9rules Network. For all my new readers, let me take the chance to say a few words about Bartelme Design and what you can expect. Bartelme Design is my personal web site, dedicated to design — especially user interface and icon design — as well as to designing standards compliant websites using XHTML and CSS. Just in case that you are interested: Here is a list of popular content on Bartelme Design.

You will soon recognize that the whole site focusses intensively on Apple and all things associated with it. Nevertheless it should serve as a knowledgebase for all platforms.

Forum

Furthermore you are welcome to discuss design related topics in my forum. Feel free to post questions, objections and suggestions. By the way you may wonder why some parts of my site are in German, whereas others are in English. Well Bartelme Design has been a German site for about four years. But due to popular demand I decided to switch to English back in February. So don’t wonder if you sometimes stumble upon a weird mixture of both languages.

RSS Feeds

By the way, don’t hesitate to subscribe to my RSS feeds. Choose my main RSS feed for new journal entries or my Sidenotes feed for frequently updated links to interesting bits and pieces on the web. The longer the speech, the less thought: A warm welcome to Bartelme Design.

Congrats on joining the network! I have loved your blue crystal desktops since the first time I saw your website (when you redesigned) and have been using them at work. :) Keep up the good work!

Well if you are interested in the idea behind the network, check out the “About” section of the 9rules web site. Link But basically it’s about building a community of high quality websites as well as a community of highly discerning readers.

Wie kommt es eigentlich dass du so gut englisch schreibst? Jemand hat mir gesagt, dass es sich bei deinen Texten fast um Muttersprachen-Englisch handelt. Einfach nur Übung?

Martin Labuschin

Danke für’s Kompliment. Ich denke zwar, dass mein Englisch sicher noch verbesserungswürdig ist — wenn andere es jedoch als gut einstufen, freut mich das natürlich um so mehr. Ich denke, dass es fast ausschließlich an der Übung liegt — sowohl passiv durch das Lesen von englischen Büchern, Websites etc. als auch aktiv durch das Schreiben von Artikeln. Nach dem Switch zu Englisch hab ich mir mitunter auch noch ein wenig schwer getan, die richtigen Formulierungen zu finden — mittlerweile läuft’s großteils eigentlich sehr gut :)

Wolfgang

Congratulations.

Rene

Wenn du Deutsch schreibst kommt es sympathischer rüber ;)

Tom

Congratulations! Hope this will lead you to a better blog posting.

It’s fantastic that you joined us Wolfgang, I’m so glad I sent out that email! And the 9r logo at the bottom of your site is the best placement I’ve seen so far of any of our members, including all the sites I’ve designed. Looks really sweet.

Mike Rundle

Congratulations for your great work so far — keep up, W-gang ;)

I’m a little late from the welcoming comity, but let me just say it is great to have you in the network Wolfgang. I’ve enjoyed your site and your icons for quite some time (especially since the switch to English) so keep up the good work!
