Hopefully everyone had a great Christmas and New Year break, everyone on the 449 team certainly did 
And wow, what a long break it was! But now we’re back to the grindstone and what better way to kick off the new year than with some updates to the portfolio?
First of all we’ve got the Sensational Color blog network, currently consisting of , and . New blogs are being added at a rapid pace, giving you everything you need to know about colour in the home, the workplace and anywhere else you can think of! Working with Kate Smith, a leading colour expert, was a fantastic experience and we wish her a very prosperous new year!
Secondly, we’ve got Nate Ritter. Nate’s tagline for his blog is “community, entrepreneurship and business strategy”, he definitely knows his stuff and is a top bloke to work with! Since the redesign he’s written a fantastic post on using Twitter (via several other social platforms) to help communities in crisis, it’s a fantastic read (especially for geeks) and is reflective of the sort of content you can expect from his blog. All the best for 2008 to Nate too!
There’s heaps more work in the pipelines, aswell as some exciting new posts on the blog and a few tweaks to the 449 site. We’re hoping to release a few self-initiated projects in the first half of 2008 aswell, so stay tuned!

Chris,
Thanks for the wonderful write up about the Sensational Color blog network I created with your expert development skills, patient guidance and awesome eye for design.
I think together we created three great blogs with the fourth soon to follow and they will only continue to get better and better. Working with you has been a pleasure!
Have a very happy and prosperous New Year.
Cheers,
Kate

Hey Grant, we worked so hard at the end of last year we felt an extended break was necessary
Very glad to hear you’ve made the jump to freelance and please let me know if we can help you out with the venture in any way!
Hi Kate, thank you so much for the kind words! The blogs are looking awesome now, coupled with the great content it’s an unbeatable combination! Really looking forward to continuing our fantastic business relationship this year

Chris, You could help me out a lot, by letting me help you out. If you are ever really busy please feel free to pass some CSS and mark-up work my way. That is my forte at the moment although my photoshop mock-ups are becoming better each time…
Glad you had a good break, you earned it.
