A Christmas Present from Xara

Just in time for Christmas (or the Winter Solstice if you prefer), come two very special presents: Xara X has been released and Xara Ltd. has agreed to host the XaraXone, the Xara Conference (and all the other i/us conferences to boot), the WebXealot, the Xara Tutorials, and more. What more could we have hoped for?

If you have been off the planet for a while and for some reason do not have your copy of Xara X, do not hesitate a moment longer. CLICK HERE to download your free 15-day trial copy—or what the heck, you know you'll love it, just buy it now.

This tutorial marks the end of i/us, which as of December 31, will be going the way of the dinosaur. If you have a bottle of Champagne handy, I ask you all to join me in a farewell toast to Chris and Arlen in appreciation for the wonderful site they created and for making this Xara wonderland possible for all of us for the last five years. Chris and Arlen, from all of us, thanks for everything and best of luck to you both for your respective futures.

This month's tutorial reflects my new home and my new landscape. It was fun to create and I hope it will be as much fun for you to recreate.
