Didn’t work very well for me in FF 3 or Safari. I will stick with image replacement or web-safe fonts until better font replacement is supported. Sigh
IE 6 Blocker Script - CSS-Tricks - I’m saving this one, not because I condone blocking out a percentage of your viewers, but because I condone shunning people unwilling to upgrade. Shun Shun Shun!
The Renaissance Blog Designer - Nice article about being the all-around designer.

Graphic Design Trends 2008 - CRAP! There goes my smokey-swirly, flowy-circly, splatter-ray, silhouette layout. Well, I was thinking of use the rays, but … yeah, imma still use the rays.
Pure CSS Tooltips | Blog Oh Blog - Jai once again has a great tip and shares it with the rest of us. I like this one and will find it really useful in the future.

50+ Nice Clean CSS Tab-Based Navigation Scripts | Web Tricks - Here’s another one of those lists - but you’ll find lots of useful scripts and ideas in here!

I’ve always love the subtle play of pink and black on this site. I like it’s architecture, it’s palette and it’s attitude. If this site were a person, I’d want to go to the movies with it.
