Hey Scott,
This question has nothing to do with no-blog Wednesday since it seems you already have enough fans wasting your time squawking about that. I was wondering how you felt about digital backgrounds, where to find good ones, and when to use them? Any info would be helpful.
Thanks, and keep up the amazing work!

What is narcissistic about wanting to let your readers know that its not happening today. I bet you 20 to 1 that if he had not posted anything, even those people who KNOW that Scott doesn’t want to blog on Wednesday would start with the “Hey.. wheres Scott’s post.. why isn’t Scott posting.. has anyone heard if Scott is posting.”

Its a -reminder- that there is no post today.. all you have to do is go about your business, or check out the link he gives you..

I think its narcissistic that you took the time to try to comment.. but you dont hear everyone else complaining.. cept a couple of us

noo.. we have to turn it into Whiny Comment Wednesdays.

He’s doing it right by extending a courtesy.. you’re doing it wrong by being a tool.

Hartford rocked! Thanks for that.

Had a great day in Hartford (3 hour drive each way, worth every minute). I’d sign up again for another one tomorrow!

Many, many thanks for putting this together and for helping me take a step higher (and thanks for signing my “7-point” book.).

Hey Scott,
Hope you are enjoying your No-blog Wednesday. I believe last week (or the week before) one of the comments asked how you made those cool 3d text stacks that you put on every Wednesday blog. Could you explain how you made these? They are very cool and I could definitely use something like this on a regular basis. Thanks for all you do and God Bless =)

Your should do some “guest blog” Wednesdays. Have folks submit stuff in advance…moderate it ahead of time…and then post when you take the day off.

OK people, No Blog Wednesday should also mean no Comments on Wednesday. You know Scott reads every comment. So when we post a comment on Wednesday then Scott has to read it. So from here on I say leave the man alone on Wednesdays. This will be my last post for a Wednesday. Unless it changes to no-blog tuesdays or something.

Wow - some people are harsh. I guess they just don’t grasp what a busy guy you are. I totally understand/respect the No Blog Wednesday.

Also wanted to say: Saw you yesterday in Hartford at the Photoshop seminar and oh my goodness I learned some really great techniques! Although I went home last night like “Now…what did he do with that hippo picture again??”

You know, if you taped your sessions to sell after the event I’d totally buy it because I have a way easier time learning visually than I do by reading and it would be great to be able to go back and watch the video of the session and say “Oh that’s right! That’s what he did there…”

I hope to get to go to another Photoshop seminar soon so please keep Hartford on as a regular location!! It was so awesome to get to see you in person (even if I was too shy to go up and meet you).

Are there plans for a Restoration textbook for Photoshop Elements 6.0?

I hate no blog Wednesday!

Come on Scott.

No offense, but this has gone beyond cute or clever and has instead become more than a little narcissistic.

Your fans (myself included) already know not to expect anything on Wednesday — so what’s the point of the Wednesday blog posts? And let’s be honest — you are blogging on Wednesday; the post just isn’t full of any useful content, that’s all.

As I said last week: do it right, or don’t do it at all (or at the very least, don’t claim to do what you’re actually not doing). Do do do do do.

Dave said it. I have to get my Scott Kelby fix every morning. Coffee and Scott…does it get much better? perhaps some cool music in the background.

Even on “No Blog Wednesdays” I still stop by. This site has become such a big part of my morning ritual…coffee…news…coffee…blogs…more coffee…then work. See ya tomorrow Scott!
