Quick note of a typo:
76- Stuff And Nonsense
Super and super blog of Markley, one of best WebDesigners in the world.
“Markley” should be “Malarkey” (roughly translated as balivernes).
:-)
excellent post, I’m sure Digg users will digg it ;-)
I was wondering why this list was familiar to me – now that you mention that French site, everything makes sense. Still you’ve put lots of work into this – well done.
inspirationbit’s last blog post..A Bit Of Literature – Mr. Know-All
Er… I don’t know why I add the French in there, for some reason I assumed you were French mother tongue. Have now read your About page and realised that *ahem* you’re not. Sorry!
Wow, great round-up!
I’ll bookmark it :)
BTW the two titles called “[something] Point” are showing up as “[Something] Not”. Very odd :P
Thomas, thanks for the site add.
John, Thanks for bookmarking, along with the other 700.
Ray, Thanks for that add, I think designmeltdown deserves to be added as well :)
Chad, Thanks for the comment chad, you social media posting king :P I will add your site too.
Tristan, Thanks for the link to Image After, I use that site too! I will add it.
Jessica, Your welcome.
David, Your welcome too. Yes they do stand out don’t they!
Tyler, I have added IgniteMotion too :)
Jesus, Your welcome.
Anglictina, Your welcome.Johno, It will keep you busy for many many days :P And yes I am a regular over on Creative Curio.
Jenny, What type of business are you starting?
CSSArtillery, I have added your site. Thanks.
Peter. Your welcome, your site deserves it
DM, Thanks for the point out.
Vivien, Unfortunately Digg users did not digg it as much as StumbleUpon and Del.icio.us
Kristarella, Thanks for the point out.
Thanks to all visitors too!
Thought you’d like to know, the link from Logo Design Love goes to Ads of the World.
Where the images eating too much bandwidth?
David Airey’s last blog post..70 of the best logo design resources
Sorry David you are correct. Something went strangely wrong when I copied this post from Dreamweaver, you will notice all of the title texts are completely muddled up.
Some links also went weird, and words went back to front… ie. Web Designer Wall went to Web Wall Designer. And ‘Showcase Point’ went to ‘Showcase Not’ – No idea what happened, there has never been a problem before. I have fixed it up now.
Yes the images were chewing right into the bandwidth. 3.5mb per visit.
No worries at all. Interesting that you draft your posts in Dreamweaver.
David Airey’s last blog post..70 of the best logo design resources
I find it a lot quicker, especially for adding pictures and you have more control over the layout and more functions as well. For smaller posts I use the WordPress built in one.
I’m truly hurt. You didn’t mention my site (thegraphicmac.com) ;-)
And how about CreativeBits.org and Adsoftheworld.com – both excellent resources as well.
Your site seems to be down Jim. Ads of the world was mentioned. I will add CreativeBits.Org – Thanks!
Jacob / David,
I use Dreamweaver also for most of my posts, if they include several images, special formatting etc. It is much easier and you can also have more control over uploading images and graphics…gives you complete freedom to put images in different directories etc…
I actually use Dreamweaver when editing my entire blog…the style sheets etc. I also find this to be much more efficient.
Brian Yerkes’s last blog post..Logo Design Contests – Good or Bad
Thanks for the focus!
Thanks for mentioning Vandelay Design.
Steven Snell’s last blog post..25 Beautifully Dark Website Designs
I agree with you Brian as well.
Your welcome Steve and Fubiz.

While trying to quit smoking, I have discovered the electronic cigarette. The e-cigs uses a nicotine fluid that consists of just nicotine. Virtually no poisons in the least. They have actually changed my life. No more inhaling toxic substances feels excellent to me!
All I can think about is tobacco. I know i don’t plan to light up and if somebody offered a hit right this minute, I’d have to decline. I am in a pretty bad mental condition and have been having trouble getting to sleep yet I do know I must absolutely be strong. The e cigs may also be helpful in the end.
Very knowledgeable and resourceful post. Thanks a lot for sharing
