If you're interested in learning blog design in depth, then a new program offered by the team behind the popular Wordpress themes from iThemes might have a great opportunity for you. They've started WebDesign.com University where they'll offer a variety of training tutorials, webinars, and more that anyone can use to learn blog design with Wordpress.
There are both pay as you go and annual payment options, and both are fairly reasonable considering what you're apt to learn from them. I've sat through a number of iThemes-related tutorials, and they've always been very clear and informative. Web design and coding are not my strengths, so I say that as a non-technical expert. I use the iThemes Flexx theme on one of my personal blogs, and I highly recommend it.
I have not tried the WebDesign.com University program, but it certainly seems like a great option for people who want to learn more about blog design than how to upload a new theme.
Have you signed up for WebDesign.com University? What do you think so far? What do you think is the best way to learn in depth web and blog design, CSS, etc.? Leave a comment and share your thoughts.

Did you know there are limits on the number of people you follow, the number of tweets you publish, and the number of direct messages you get and send via Twitter?
In an attempt to limit spam and ensure the Twitter user experience is positive for everyone, Twitter has several restrictions in place that users must adhere to. Just as the 140-character tweet limit is intended to streamline the microblogging experience on Twitter, additional limitations are intended to keep Twitter running smoothly and reduce down time.
You can follow the link to get all the details about Twitter limits and restrictions to ensure you fully understand them and aren't surprised one day when you suddenly can't tweet anymore!
