Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
When I started dabbling in web design a few years back I quickly found a list of websites that I bookmarked to reference over and over again. To this day I still frequent these sites and of course have added a few new sites to that list. In this post I am going to share my personal favorite 10 web design and development related sites that I couldn’t live without. Well I am sure that I would COULD live without them, but most definitely wouldn’t WANT to. (more…)

Monday, September 7th, 2009
