When PSDTUTS started a bit more than a year ago it was a plain jane HTML site with three tutorials on it, a brown background and a bizarre bowl of soup and spoon image. We’ve come along way since then and the site now has three sister sites, two plus programs, a manager, fifty thousand daily visitors and a heck of a reputation for tutorials! It’s also grown a lot in content, we’ve bolted a lot of improvements and features, and there are more to come as the site evolves from a humble blog into a Photoshop hub.

So I’m super proud to launch a new WordPress theme that we’ve developed for the sites beginning with PSDTUTS today and onto NETTUTS, VECTORTUTS and AUDIOTUTS next week.

As the calendar ticks over into October, PSDTUTS’s sister site ThemeForest has made it to 1 month of age! We’re very excited about ThemeForest’s potential over here at Envato and I’m working hard to build traffic and content on the site. So I thought I’d take a moment to show you 21 of the neatest themes so far. There are plenty more to look through (200 more in fact), but these ones are my favourites!

Here at Envato we have what we call ‘the Incubator’. It’s a part of the business that has a limited flow of money where we experiment with new sites and give things a try, even if it doesn’t look like they have much chance of actually generating any revenue.

Today is a special day on our calendars here at Envato because on August 15th we launch the annual Blog Action Day campaign! As you may recall from 2007’s super successful campaign, the premise behind Blog Action Day is to get the world’s bloggers to unite to post on one important issue on the same day.

Some of the more observant of you may have noticed that starting yesterday some little “Envato Network” widgets began appearing in the top right of both this site and our other blogs and marketplaces. What is Envato? Well it’s our new name! Continue Reading

As you know we here at PSDTUTS are also responsible for a family of creative marketplaces. Almost exactly 2 years ago, we released the first of these - a little site called FlashDen - an open marketplace where anyone can sell their Flash wares. Since its launch the site’s been getting bigger and bigger, and today there are authors making as much as $10,000 a month on the site. A couple of months ago we expanded FlashDen out to an audio marketplace called AudioJungle that is slowly but steadily building up steam. But today I’m happy to announce that we’re opening up a limited beta invite to our most exciting marketplace site yet - ThemeForest.

With a growing number of TUTS sites in our network, it’s getting easy to miss some of the great content published every month. That’s why starting this month we’re introducing a monthly “TUTS Roundup” post showcasing the best posts from the _other_ sites!
