<\/a><\/p>\nOne of my favorite articles to write for Evolutionary Designs was the weekly link love (link share) articles for new media and most of our readers liked the articles. They received a lot regular traffic and they still receive a bit of traffic over time. Image Source: <\/em>Flickr<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n But with work and personal life, I had to cut back on the amount of articles I read and write. So a large portion of the articles I write were cut back including the link share articles. But\u00a0 over the last few weeks, I have wanted to bring these articles back.<\/p>\n Although I haven\u2019t decided on a format or what topics will be covered in these Weekly New Media News Updates, I do plan to share articles related to web\/graphic design, WordPress<\/a>, social media, SEO, marketing, blogging, and photography.<\/p>\n This week\u2019s New Media News Update were read earlier this week and most were published on some of my favorite sites earlier this week.<\/p>\n Create Reflection Effect Using CSS3 and Reflection.js<\/a> \u2013 \u201cIn today\u2019s tutorial, I am going to show you how to create an image reflection effect with two versions.
