After searching my computer for something, I stumbled across the code for one of my old MySpace layouts I had made for myself. I decided to make a new page dedicated to MySpace DIV overlay layouts, and put this one up as the first! If you don’t know what those are, they are pretty much designs that do not conform to the standard MySpace layout and design. They “overlay” the normal layout, or even sometimes just hide them, and then there’s a completely custom design on top.

Head on over to the templates page to grab my first free WordPress theme, “Simple Space”.

Those of you who’ve been to my site a few times will notice that it’s actually the last theme I used on this very site! I’ve also uploaded the Photoshop PSD for free download and use. There are many, many unused and hidden layers in it, and if you unhide them, you can see many ideas I had for that design that I decided not to put up.

Enjoy, and of course, more are coming.

By now, everybody pretty much knows that valid web site code is pretty important, especially if you want your site to render fast, correctly and have clean code. A few years ago you could debate that conforming to the W3C standards wasn’t necessary, and that tables were still more useful than CSS, but those days are over.

So it’s no wonder that many web designers have really begun taking interest in their own code, making sure it is valid, while at the same time making it work in IE (damn you!). Keeping that in mind, you would think the pioneers of “Web 2.0″ would make sure their web site would keep with this new standard. Unfortunately, you’re wrong.

Here are twenty articles, generators and tutorials on Photoshop, CSS, PHP and HTML that have helped me have the knowledge that I do today. Some are basic, talking about the difference between CSS ID’s and classes, and others are more in-depth, such as the “Create a Sleek, High End Web Design from Scratch” tutorial, that covers everything from the Photoshop concept to the final XHTML and CSS valid end result. Simple or not, I found these sites to be more useful than most, and now I am sharing them with you.
