CSS laundry list
Finds for webheads are really piling up here at the Rectory. Here’s some I like:
- Shirley Kaiser of Brainstorms and Raves and CK Designs has a terrific meta-list of resources on everything to do with the web on websitetips.com. It’s like about.com done right. Btw, what the heck happened to all the content on about.com? Did they decide people didn’t want that?
- And here’s a great gag from the Style Master folks in their CSS Cookbook: Buttons without JavaScript, all done in CSS.
- Have another: Nick Finck’s Web Power Tools. The thing I like best about it is that I’ve only seen a couple of the tools he uses.
- And don’t neglect the place I found that last link, Rehthree Design’s Design Principles, a potpourri of new-generation web stuff, from nitty gritty CSS links to making your content more semantic, to a warning: never design on spec.
- For the incurably cheap, an HTML version (text only) of Joe Clark’s highly regarded book, Building Accessible Websites.
- I sat on this link for a while because of the dreadfully counterintuitive user interface (yellow text in the menu bar means you can click on it; yellow text in the main page means you can admire the pretty colors, but clicking will do you no good). Finally I decided what the heck. graFXfreeware
- Some great web-based tools in Webmaster Toolkit: ping, domain typo generator, Front Page code cleaner, keyword analysis tool, good list of MIME types, and lots more.
- And a final CSS metalist at thefixor.com (love the symbology).
