What they say about Kirupa.com in the UK

[AnOraK]

I bought a magazine recently titled ADVANCED WEB DESIGN VERSION 1.0 and for the guys in the UK you can only get it @ WH Smith’s.

ISBN = 1-84179-065-6 and it is by Paragon Publishing.

Downside is it costs £12.99

Anyway, in the twighlight hours I was flicking through the magazine as I was struck yet again by insomnia and came across this in the Flash sections list of online resources.

KIRUPA

www.kirupa.com

The name might be weird, but the more artistic among you will find a valuable collection of tutorials on this site. As well as the standard kind of walkthroughs, you can also expect some fairly hefty graphical mayhem from Kirupa.

[Kitiara]

Yeah, I've seen that mag... Price put me off buying though. :)

Good to see this site getting a mention - it also made the Top 100 websites in a recent poll in another UK Internet magazine. :beam: They too were very complimentary. Now we just have to beat Flashkit...

[AnOraK]

np....

wont b long with the amount of talent here

[senocular]

"The name might be weird" lol its funny they point that out. I always liked it... unusual, perhaps... culturally, but wierd? nah.
good stuff

[Kitiara]

Look, it's an English magazine, we're <i>all</i> weird. :)

Nice that the site gets some well deserved recognition.

[AnOraK]

It is a UK magazine Kit!!!!

for those of us on the right side of the border ha ha

:)

[Kitiara]

Oops, my bad. :)

[AnOraK]

he he....

np...

we won't go into the great north/south divide conversation again as i think we confused too many ppl last outing we had with Soul... :)

true though, nice to see the site getting recognition...

and hopefully the link will take some new ppl here if they were not put off by the hefty price tag...

[senocular]

you crazy your O pee ans

[AnOraK]

you crazy your O pee ans

LMAO senocular

just for the record....

we r perfectly sane up here.....















it's them....

[Kitiara]

You mean me, right? :crazy:

[upuaut]

great that we're getting media play. I've seen the name in more than one book now.

but what the heck does
fairly hefty graphical mayhem from Kirupa. mean?

is it mayhem in here? :)

[Kitiara]

Indubitably. :)

[kirupa]

oooh - that is pretty cool :) Thanks for sharing anorak! There aren't too many popular design magazines in the US from what I've seen. The closest thing to a hip, trendy magazine that talks about technology is Wired - and even that is getting quite dull of late.

Cheers!
Kirupa :beam:

[andr.in]

cool! I want a website that is cool enough to be mentioned in magazines too! ...thought It won't happen.. I'm too lazy for that!

[senocular]

Syko, you do have a web site thats mentioned in magazines! This one! We are just one big happy family :love: and this site is as much yours as it is everyone elses... ok well maybe a TINY bit more mine... and yeah, I guess Kirupa is ahead of everyone else... come to think of it there are a lot of everyone elses so that makes your ownership pretty darn small - probably limited to the words in your posts - but HEY, they are YOUR words and YOUR contributions on THIS site so its all you buddy!
:beam:

[fester8542]

**Slams flag in ground**

Shotgun this post!!!!

[andr.in]

[Soul]

Hey people :)

Mornin my fellow UKians :beam:

[Kitiara]

Hey, Soul's back! :beam:

[AnOraK]
