So here we are, Part 3 of my Massive Link Collection articles. This one is focused around inspirational pieces, and included are links to collections and websites that showcase great web sites, logos, graphics, javascript techniques, CSS, etc. Looking at other quality work is always a great way to get started on a project of your own. If you are stuck on something and need some new ideas, you need not look any further than this post.
Once again, a description of these posts: I provide a list of links that I have collected over the past year, as well as all of the Firefox tags that I use to keep them indexed. This gives you a ton of easy and quick resources. If you are unfamiliar with Firefox’s bookmarking system and want to know how to truly take advantage of this post, click here. Also, be sure to check out the other posts from the series if you haven’t yet: Useful Javascript, jQuery, and AJAX Tutorials and Resources – Massive Link Collection Part #1 and Design Tutorials, How-tos, and Resources for Photoshop and Illustrator – Massive Link Collection Part #2.

Hello, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!
