  2. Redesigning And Re-Thinking The News | Drawar

    More new stuff on redesigning news websites. This is all part of a good discussion, but it doesn’t feel like we’ve moved on much. Yet. (via Daring Fireball)

  3. Designing a big news site is about more than beauty » Nieman Journalism Lab » Pushing to the Future of Journalism

    Good thoughts on why designing news websites is hard. Maybe it’s impossible with one design: too many competing stakeholders and use cases. (via Daring Fireball)

  4. Balsamiq

    Very nice-seeming Flash-based tool for creating mockups of UIs, userflows, etc.

  5. Performance Calendar » PNG that works

  8. One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age | Digging through the Geocities Torrent

    A blog outlining some peoples’ explorations of the torrent of all the archived GeoCities data. Some lovely old bits of early web archaeology in there.

    A bit about the problems of formatting long-form stuff for different screens, and then his solution, Bibiotype, an HTML/CSS/JS template, which is really gorgeous.

  10. Little Big Details

    Examples of nice little UI touches. Some a bit obvious but others that are lovely. (via @paulpod)

  11. Delicious blog » Changes to Save and Share

    I usually don’t mind changes to sites that get lots of users stupidly riled up but, a few nice details aside, the new Delicious ‘Save’ window does seem a step backward in several ways. And, ouch, that’s a lot of unhappy users. (via Blech)

  12. LukeW | “Mad Libs” Style Form Increases Conversion 25-40%

    Redesigning a form to a “Mad Libs”, sentence style increased conversion 25-40%.

  14. 1700 Free “Farm-Fresh Web Icons” by FatCow Web Hosting

  15. Social Media Icons — Paul Robert Lloyd

    Handy sometime I expect. Standardised icons for services, in four sizes.

  16. Welcome to our new story pages - msnbc.com

    Bravo for trying something a bit new. But it still looks cluttered, slightly baffling, has pop-under adverts… Feels like “LOOK AT ALL OUR STUFF!” rather than being easy to read/view. (via Daring Fireball)

  17. A List Apart: Articles: Responsive Web Design

    Good description of making more flexible, multi-device HTML/CSS structures. For those of you not caring about IE support.

  18. Placehold.it - Quick and simple image placeholders

    One of those things you didn’t know you needed until you saw it. Very handy. (via Infovore)

  19. Colour Contrast Check - snook.ca

    Handy and nicely-done tool for checking the contrast of colour combinations when designing websites.

  20. Revised Font Stack | A Way Back

    More thoughts on good CSS font stacks. (via Tom Taylor)

    I don’t *quite* understand it, but some refreshingly interesting design, not aping print.

  22. 960 Gridder - Lay out websites with ease.

    Handy bookmarklet that overlays a grid on top of the current web page.

  23. The Death Of The Blog Post - Smashing Magazine

    Ignore the stupid title as it’s worth a read. About people who do custom page designs for every blog post.

  24. Web design Q&A - Doctype

    “A free question and answer site for web designers. You can ask questions about CSS, HTML, web design and email design.”

  25. Developer Color Picker

    Quite handy, although I wish it gave the option to display the Color Values in CSS friendly hex too. (via Daring Fireball)

  26. Cufón - fonts for the people

    A way to do pretty fonts nicely in web pages other than sIFR. (I haven’t tried it.)

    Sensible examples of lists of fonts to use in CSS.

  31. ColorSchemer - Online Color Scheme Generator

    Simple way of generating twelve complementary colours.

  32. Color Combinations | Color Schemes | Color Palettes

    The ‘Combo Tester’ provides a way of viewing up to eight colours together, and automatically creating complementary ranges of up to eight colours.

  33. The Grid System

    Nice resource on designing web sites using a grid. All we need now is a resource on designing web sites with DECENT LINK STYLES.

  34. Dotcode’s bookmarks tagged with “scrolling” on del.icio.us

    A handy collection. For some reason (some) clients and (some) designers are the only people in the world who can’t work scrollbars.

  35. Features are a one-way street - (37signals)

    Yes. (via Daring Fireball)

    For OmniGraffle among others. (via Infovore)

  37. Cityofsound: Monocle: design notes

    Dan Hill’s fantastic description of the design decisions that went into the Monocle website. Lovely to see a site that manages to be distinctive but still classy.

  38. The new BBC homepage on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

    Lots of people commenting on one third of a design seen in a photo. So we haven’t got past that “design is what it looks like” phase after all then, eh? Bah. (via Haddock)

  39. A List Apart: Articles: Understanding Web Design

    Zeldman on how too few people understand what web design is. Hence dumb flashy sites winning web design awards. (via Infovore)

  40. BBC - BBC TWO - Everything

    BBC 2’s site has three main navigational items: Home, Everything and TV Listings. And “Everything” isn’t nearly as comprehensive as you might hope. Craziness.

  41. Creating prototypes with OmniGraffle | urlgreyhot

    Not very complicated, but a good idea and a nicely done demo. (via ChrisDodo)

  42. A List Apart: Articles: The Bathing Ape Has No Clothes (and other notes on the distinction between style and design)

    I’m sure I’ll need this again at some point. On why so many “designers” are actually “stylists”.

  43. ColorBlender.com | Your free online color matching toolbox

    Another colour scheme generator. I need all the help I can get.

  44. Color Scheme Generator 2

    There are loads of these around, but this seems a nice example.

  45. Hotel • Home

    I love the design of this site’s pages (designed by Paul Hetherington built by Dorian Moore). I’m not sure if I love it in spite,or because of it looking more like a paper brochure than a website.

  46. A Decade of Webdesign

    Or “A Decade of Bad Webdesign”? Near-illegible text and it’s impossible to tell what is and isn’t a link.

  47. Stopdesign | The New Blogger

    Doug Bowman on redesigning Blogger.

  48. ‘The Design of Sites’ is 700 pages of well-presented web design common sense. Good stuff.

  49. Good notes from Jeff Veen: “When Web design is practiced as a craft, and not a consolation, accessibility comes for free.”
