written by James

You know “Lion” isn’t far away, it’s been announced, there’s video’s and information on Apple’s web sites, and we have a bit of an idea what is coming to us. Exciting times ahead.

leopardtricks.com has been in service since Oct 2007, over three years now, delivering quality tips and tricks for your favorite operating system. We’ve had our up’s and down’s, and even looked at selling up the site. It’s with great pleasure that I announce today we will be continuing the leopardtricks.com legacy with a brand new fresh site, liontricks.com

Lion Tricks will be bringing you the same quality content as Leopard Tricks, including tips, tricks, howto’s and of course video’s where possible.

We are always looking for people to help with the site. Those that have helped over the years with leopardtricks.com, we thank you, you know who you are, and couldn’t have published this stuff without you!

So stay stuned, for 2011 will be very exciting!

In the meantime, don’t forget to add us on twitter @leopardtricks (rarely updated) & @liontricks (new). Check us out on Facebook and Youtube

Hey all, just a quick post to let you know that we’re keeping up to date with technology and further networking leopardtricks.com to various social networking sites.

Firstly, we’re adding more and more video’s to the site (youtube). You can see them embedded right here on the site, or at www.youtube.com/somethingmac.

We’re in the process of creating a facebook page. Make sure if you are on facebook that you “become a fan”.

I’ve been using twitter for a while now, and I’ve had my personal account linked to the front of this site. I’ve finally set up a dedicated leopardtricks account. Be sure to follow it!

You can chat to me any time on Skype. (text chat, I don’t do much voice or video)
Be sure to subscribe to our RSS feed

Hi all, it’s been a while since I’ve updated the site with actual useful content. Thank you all who have contributed since the site has been running.

As you can imagine, there’s only so many tips and tricks for Leopard that I can document here. If you find something that isn’t on the site (search the site first) then register and post it! If you get the content from another site, be sure to reference that site.

With Snow Leopard on the way, we will be starting a whole new round of tips and tricks for Apple’s latest OS X gift!

Despite slowly running out of content, I have some exciting news for the site. I’ve started working on video’s for the already published posts, this means you’ll be able to follow me as I show you on video how to perform a tip or trick. As you can imagine, this will be a lengthy process. I’m confident I can get it done! Stay tuned

Enjoys

Using an iPhone or iPod Touch to view the site will give you a simplified theme for “cleaner” viewing on these devices. It’s fast too! The URL stays the same, it’s pretty clever stuff!
