Change in eMail
Because of spam issues related to the kristine @ websavvymama.com email address, I have deactivated that account and will no longer be checking it. I was receiving over 100 spam emails a day. For the past year I’ve been switching over to 2 new email addresses that I now use with WebSavvyMama clients. And, as always, I can still be reached via the contact form: http://www.websavvymama.com/contact.php
If you email me and I do not respond, please double check to make sure you are using one of the active email addresses listed on my contact page. And this is a good lesson to all, have a backup/spam email account that you use for creating all accounts (even message forums). Yahoo and Gmail are both great options for free ones to handle your “spam accounts”.

First iPhone App graphic set from WSM
I recently tackled an interesting project. I say interesting because it wasn’t something I had done before! Caleb over at Many-App-Olis asked me if I’d do a logo for him and some images for the iPhone application he was working on. I’m always up to the challenge so I said, “Heck yeah!” This was his first iPhone app as well. The project evolved and I did logos for his website, the website itself, a logo for the individual app, landing page and the necessary icons for the iTunes App store. It took on a life of its own, but it was definitely fun!
The app officially launched today and I got to play with it for the first time. What an addicting game! And of course its always fun to see your work in action. His game is called Guess and Win in 2010. This is a number guessing game, and very addicting. Each time you guess the number right on the first try you move up to the next level. You can post your high scores to a leader board and also post them to your Facebook or Twitter accounts. But the fun doesn’t end there. The high score at the end of 2010 wins actual money! Cold hard cash. The prize starts out at $100 and could potentially reach $20,000 depending on the amount of apps purchased.
The app is only .99, not bad considering you have the chance to win much much more! But watch out, your Web Savvy AppMama plans on dominating the leader boards. Check it out and see if you can keep up! Find out more about the Guess and Win 2010 game here.
