Need some Web 2.0 style buttons? So did I, so I made a few different versions for the redesign of my website ITS Net Services. I only ended up using 1 of them, so I figured I might as well give the rest away.
They all come in 1 Photoshop file and include all the buttons separated in their own folders.
I made most of these using the Ultimate Web 2.0 Gradients and Styles available to download for free from Deziner Folio.
I’m back again with more FREE CSS Containers to download. Unlike my previous set of FREE Content Boxes, these boxes were designed to be able to stretch as wide as need be. Simply adjust the size of the container css value to the width you need, or remove it completely to have it auto adjust its width. I have also remade the original boxes in this auto stretch way.
You may use these boxes for any purpose, and you do not have to credit me. However, you may not redistribute these on another website, or hotlink directly to these files.

I have created a selection of FREE to download CSS Content Boxes. These were designed to be used for side bar areas, but if you know your photoshop decently enough you can easily modify the headers to stretch as wide as you need. These CSS Content Boxes are all 100% XHTML & CSS Validated.

By now mostly everyone has used a photo host of one type or another. There are numerous websites to go to for your image hosting needs, however, none of them are anywhere close to as cool as RapidBin is. RapidBin combines the best of an image hosting site with the best a screenshot application can hope to offer.
Rapidbin can handle all the normal images you would expect an image host to handle. But that’s not where the real beauty of RapidBin comes in. RapidBin has a Win32 application (which means you can run it on your computer without installing it) which makes taking screenshots and uploading it a snap.
You can either take a snapshot of your entire screen, or use the “Shoot By Selection” option (which was my idea I gave to the creator coincidentally 
) to select an area of your screen that you would like to screenshot. After taking the screenshot, the image is instantaneously uploaded onto the RapidBin server and the URL to the image is automatically copied to your clipboard for you paste away!
So save yourself hours of screen-shooting and editing and download the RapidBin application today!

This site is one of my newest discoveries and has some of the best looking, highest quality icons I have seen. I don’t even know what to call the website because half of it is in another language of some sort, but I will take full advantage of all it has to offer, and I suggest you do to.

Free Icons Web has quite an impressive selection of truly high quality icons. Most of the icons are not full sets, but mini sets with particular themes in mind. The icons I show above are just small samples of very different sets available for free.
Some small and clean icons to use for your various web development projects.

A very random selection of high quality and not as high quality icons. It’s not an all in one icon website, but you just may find the perfect icon you have been looking for.

The web, such a bountiful source of free information. The really is no limit to the amount of information you can stumble upon and consume, and completely free no less!
After years and years of being a web designer, I have gathered quite a collection of links to websites that offer me unlimited amounts of css tips, tricks, and free downloads. I have decided to share my list with the rest of you. I hope you enjoy them, as much as I do.

An amazing archive of numerous free css based scripts, menus, layouts and much much more. Some of my personal favorites are the ones that are inside the Dynamic category.
Free CSS layouts to download
Of all the LightBox scripts, I think this is so far my favorite. It supports video, flash, external websites, forms, inline content (divs) and of course images. And it also looks amazing as well. Definitely a highly recommended script.
I really like this lightbox script. It might be in contest for my favorite lightbox script with the LightWindow one above. Best thing about this one though, is that its html will validate, which lets face it is increasingly important these day.
This is yet another script that can be used to overlay image on top of the current pag. It is very similar to Lightbox, Thickbox, and Greybox.
Before I get to the bad stuff, I will talk about the good parts about the script. The interface is quite nice looking, with white rounded corners and borders. The animation effect is also quite smooth and nice to look at.
However, I have tested this script on both IE6, and FF2 and I must say that it works better on IE6. On Firefox the animation is a little bit jittery, and gives a very strange effect outside of the borders. It almost looks like a magnifying glass is being put over the outside edge for a quick second, but after the animation is over, it looks great!. I suspect this is a bug that will be worked out in the near future. So defintely don’t hesitate to try this script out for yourself!
Facebox is a jQuery-based, Facebook-style lightbox which can display images, divs, or entire remote pages.It’s simple to use and easy on the eyes. Download the tarball, view the examples, then start enjoying the curves.
Lightbox is a very simple script that can be used to overlay an image on top of the current page to keep users from being linked to other pages. It is an exceptionally clean way to show off your pictures, designs, and more.
Another version of the Lightbox script. This version adds support for more than just images, you can include iFrames, div’s and many other text based pieces of content.
Yet another version of the Lightbox script. This one is probably one of the most well rounded versions I have seen. You can display external pages in the pop ups, and the gallery setup is just plain beautiful.
This is one of the best incarnations of the Lightbox scripts I have seen so far. I am very impressed with this one, and suggest trying it out. Lightbox that supports images, flash, video, mp3s, html.
Highslide JS is an open source JavaScript software, offering a Web 2.0 approach to popup windows. It streamlines the use of thumbnail images and HTML popups on web pages.
DHTML Goodies has a high quality assortment of CSS / DHTML / AJAX scripts all available to download for free.
Think you need images to have gradients in your designs? So did I, at least I used to until a friend of mine told me about this website.
Years ago on a TV channel that no longer exists (Tech TV), on a TV show that also no longer exists (The Screensavers) I was introduced to a great little design helper application called Pixie by Nattyware
This small sexy little application, which is only a 160px X 82px size window, runs on top of your desktop, as well as on top of all your computer applications to help you quickly identify colors by simply putting the tip of your mouse cursor over the color you wish to identify.
