javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0

Now try to click images/move them around, edit the text …

The results are not permanent of course. Neat little trick!

If you would like to know more about how actions work or how to create your own, make sure to check out my previous post.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, no doubt you’ve stumbled across Media Arsenal’s Online Shop. Hundreds and hundreds of royalty-free, high quality vectors live here, and they can be yours for a steal.

The ninth Vector Set was released today. Included are Heraldy Vectors, useful Halftones, stunning Flowers, elaborate Signs, and a couple others. That’s 160 detailed vector pieces in total, and is a great deal at $52.47, 50% off the regular price. Check it out now!

Vectors are superior compared to raster images in that they can be shrunk to the size of a business card, then blown to the size of a billboard - all without losing a hint of quality!
