A nice list that can help anyone; graphic designers can check out the more techy stuff, techy people can look at the design elements and learn more there, and everyone can benefit from understanding the ways search engines work.
Great links for webdesign. I’ve put some in my favorites already.
I totally agree with Website Design Cardiff
Great list of resources – love the links to the color sites. Always hard to know what works well together – not being a formal ‘designer’ but these kinds of sites help a bunch!

Thanks for putting together quite a definitive list, i have added this page to a list of resources that our artists should be reading. I talk about SEO on my blog and I get emails and comments from people a lot asking me for basic design stuff. This is a great list to send them to.
These are all great articles for people who are trying to learn. My favorite is the Photoshop CS3 tutorial. It is most good.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this great list of tutorials and resources I can see many uses for them.
Thank you ones more!
Great post. I just bookmarked this page. As a beginner this will help me a lot in blogging. Thanks for sharing the information.
I suggest http://www.dzinemart.com also for inspiration .
Maybe try tutvid.com it is very basic but the guy covers things well for beginners. Either way you have posted some exceptional site on here.
Your post is full of resources and tutorials. I am more than happy to visit this blog because it is difficult to find all that good stuff at one place. I like the font and resources collection the most.
Thanks for the listing.
Nice List what about http://www.designdeck.co.uk where i find majority of my stuff!
This is often a top notch blog. I’ve been back a couple of times during the last seven days and wish to subscribe to your feed by using Google but can not figure out the right way to do it exactly. Do you know of any sort of instructions?

I had started using this list with the intention of visiting and reading every site suggested. I came a long way, but then I got distracted at some point and forgot about it. Now I just found this page again somewhere in my browsing history. I see I’ve already come past alot of these sites in the meantime. A few more and I’ve gone through all of them!
Cool list, every single link is useful, thanks for sharing.
Hm, I’m just comfortable with this but still not fully certain, therefore i’m about to research a little bit more.
