Things you should be looking at...

If you’re a web designer, you’re going to be familiar with these websites below. But... I’m going to post them anyway. I read these on a daily basis to help keep in touch with the industry – they’re a pretty good place to start if you’re into web. Although if you’re a designer, you should probably be reading a wide variety of these blogs on a daily basis anyway. I’ll post my full list of daily blog reads at some point... although there’s a fair few!

Web Designer Wall
These guys talk about everything web-design, from coding, design, inspiration, trends and events. It’s not updated that often, but worth reading the articles. They also have tutorials on some common problems/requests that are really easy to follow and learn from. Think they also made the Bloggies!

Web Creme
There are literally thousands of showcases of the best CSS websites, but most of them just list any old website – regardless of design or code. That’s why I like Web Crème. These guys post the best websites of the internet, daily. They even categorize by colour... If you’re into that kind of thing. Also, unlike most of these showcases – the site is painfully simple and easy to use. Addictive too.

Noupe
I’m pretty new to this one – but they say they are an online resource for web developers. Whatever that means. It has a nice ‘Design News’ section though which is worth checking out!

Smashing Mag
Don’t need to say much about these guys – the website is genius. All kinds of news, tools and articles. Read it. Go on, go there now.

CSS Globe
Most of these web blogs are always banging on about WordPress. Yes, it’s very clever. I don’t care! But CSS Globe, they don’t bother much with that stuff – we like that! If you want to learn how to do something a little bit advanced (or not) using CSS, with perhaps a little bit of JavaScript thrown in... then you need look no further than CSS Globe. These guys have all kinds of examples and tutorials showing CSS to standards. Very good, not updated that often though – which is a shame.
