Hey there!

You’ve probably noticed that we’ve begun adding a few new features to Think Vitamin (like Think Vitamin Radio!) and welcoming some new regular writers to the team (like @Grace Smith, @KyleBragger, and me!). During Future of Web Apps Miami, we began experimenting a bit with a news feature, rounding up items that are timely, helpful, and quite a few that are downright inspiring and smattered with quirk.

We’d love your help matching up great contributions with our editorial schedule, it’s a time for you to submit great content you’ve been working on or have discovered yourself and get a little link love from Think Vitamin.

• Monday—All things web design (ux, photo, illustration, art, graphics, CSS, jQuery, tutorials, and more)
• Wednesday—Core stories on web development and business (apps, people, practices, and more)
• Friday—The best in “interestingness!” (lego constructs, stop-motion animation via YouTube, Flickr finds, Tumblrs, and much more)

Send links to news@thinkvitamin.com (Big Hint: we love giving credit where credit is due! So include sexy email signatures with links to your content, but also to your personal Twitter, Blog, etc.)

Cheers!

Editors note: In his first article for Think Vitamin Rob Smith looks at his top five themes for e-commerce for 2010. Whether you are considering starting an online shop or have one that isn’t performing as well as you would like these valuable tips will help you on your way.

Purchasing online and e-commerce has been growing at a rapid rate for many years and during that time things have changed massively. From online merchandising to order management to delivery, things are constantly evolving.

This article is aimed at giving what I believe are 5 important themes in this area over the next year, and what you can do to help yourself or your clients prosper.
