Can someone explain to me how to reproduce the image dithering look in photoshop please ?

#66Small sub-cultures, like this one, do experiments all the time in their little corner of the web. Some of the cultures die after a while, and some grow into something else, something bigger, something that starts to percolate on the mainstream surface, albeit possibly only tangental to how it started. I'm not sure I'd predict this movement will grow into something that reaches mainstream tech, but let's say I'm wrong…

#67Some cool concepts there. >Static Site This should be an obvious choice for sites not requiring dynamic elements. Also their choice of comments through email is a good solution to a problem static-made blogs have. >Dithered Images That won't work for every case, but is interesting. >Default typeface That's nice.
