There is so much out there that I hardly have time to look at them all, and that’s why I have a list of bookmarks that would probably fill a medium sized town’s phone book! I’m always looking for interesting sites…sometimes friends pass along links, sometimes I’ll find them in forums or bulletin boards, and I also make it a regular practice to google different design terms and see what comes up. The following list is some of the ones I’ve found most useful, interesting or helpful. This is just a few of them, so I’ll put together more and post again with part 2.

  • MyFonts.com – a great place for fonts, both free and for purchase. Free registration is required for downloading, but with over 400 free fonts available, it’s definitely worth the time to register.
  • w3schools.com – an absolutely must have bookmark, full of references, tutorials and do it yourself examples for learning html, CSS, xml, scripting and lots more. I’d be lost without this one!
  • StockXchng – an amazing site for finding images to use in your design projects, whether personal or professional. Free stock photos in tons of categories make this a great site to browse as well, just to check out the great photography. Free registration.
  • BrowserShots.org – check out your website in different browsers and operating systems for free, you may be surprised at what you see!
  • CSS Validation Service -does your website conform to current web standards? Find out here, where you can validate your CSS and html or xhtml documents. It can make a difference in how browsers interpret your site, so it pays to be valid!
  • Pixie – simply the best little color picker around, made by Nattyware. I use this tool every single day and I’d feel like I lost my best friend if I didn’t have it. Really.

That’s the first installation, and please, if you have any links you’d like to share, don’t be shy!
