CSS Galleries Galore

At first thought it might seem like a strange concept to name galleries that showcase exceptional website designs after a computer style sheet language, but once you understand how CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) revolutionized website design it makes perfect sense. CSS has simplified the creation of great and consistent-looking websites by separating the content from the way it is presented. CSS galleries are awesome sources for inspiration when creating a new website or blog, and if you make it a habit to follow the featured websites in the CSS galleries you can easily spot new trends, and maybe even tell what the next big thing is.

Ten Great Audio and Video Podcasts

Here is a selection of ten podcasts that I like to listen to or watch during the week. I do not personally use Apple’s iTunes for downloading podcasts since it is such a hassle to use; instead I opt for subscribing to the podcasts’ RSS feeds. I have found the two best producers of podcasts to be Revision3 (video podcasts) and Leo Laporte’s TWiT (audio podcasts).
