I don't think I have written about a website before. But this time I had to.
I happened to run into a great one today.
thumbs up

It's called Smashing Magazine. I was looking for a Blog theme and ended up spending most of the day looking at so many other wonderful things and information they have.
Below is only a fraction of the amazing things you can explore at the Smashing Magazine Site!

Desktop wallpaper December Calendar theme - they have several great ones
Browsing though many amazing photos, including some incredible macro photos
Free fonts for designers
Great Freebies section

One the warrants a mention by itself if their Copyright Explained Article. A lot of excellent information there.

There are so much more great information on their site. I know I will be going back to check out their tutorials etc. I subscribed to their feed too!

Their slogan is: "We smash you with the information that will make your life easier. Really."

I love it! It says exactly what they do! Enjoy.

Looks like a cool site, but that's all I need a site that takes over my day with free goodies I already get lost on this site. But thanks for the heads up I will check it out.

Thank you for the tip. Comments attest to that site, so I will go and check it right now. Question: how do you get colors and larger text like you blog?

This may sound stupid, but I do not have a clue

Jon- I use Kompozer (previous version was called nvu). I type everything there and then copy and paste it to here. You can do all kinds of cool stuff with it, font color, size, highlight etc. Oh and it's free. ~Rita

I am a bit confused. I just read that after the changes that AR made, not only the links do not work as they used to (you put a link in the post and specify that it opens in a new Window, but it doesn't), but also that HTML generated by NVU is not compatible.

Thank you!

One of my favorite aspects of AR is the sharing of resources that goes on here!

Jon - Beats me. I test the links that I put on and they seem to work. I do this for all the posts. I have read that some have had problems. And some of the links I add on while on Kompozer and some I add on here and both seem to be working, and they are indexed as well (as in the description). ~Rita

I mean you put a link in your blog and mark it to open in the new window, and it opens in a new window? There are many of us, who can;t do that. Wow, now I do not understand anything...

Really, go figure
