Even More Web Design Sites

There's a myriad of sites about web design, and like everything, it takes time to find out which sites consistently provide quality material and which ones don't. Since I've done a bit of looking around myself, I'm going to join the information sharing cause and point you to a few of the gems I've found. After all, n + 1 heads are better than n!

A List Apart
Target Skill Level: Advanced

A List Apart is a monthly blog with some quality articles from industry professionals. It covers a wide range of topics, from interface design to client relations, CSS, jQuery, and psychology, among others. One of the current articles actually discusses public speaking and technology, so I'd recommend that article for anyone in the class.

Nettuts+
Target Skill Level: Medium - Advanced

Nettuts+ is a user-supported tutorial blog that is the Web Design portion of the larger Tuts+ Network. Since the tutorials there are user-submitted, they range in quality and difficulty. The average tutorial explains a certain concept pretty well, but that concept is generally dealing with a non-HTML language or an advanced HTML concept. However, there recently was a roundup of great tutorials for breaking into web design, and I have the link: http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/web-roundups/10-hand-picked-tutorials-for-beginning-web-designers/

Abduzeedo
Target Skill Level: All

Abduzeedo is a design blog that covers multiple fields. The main area that they deliver on is inspiration, and that can go a long way. From their daily selection, Daily Inspiration, to their Friday Fresh Free Fonts, Sites of the Week, and Best of the Week, Abduzeedo is chock-full of inspiration and cool work from all areas of the design sphere.

These are some of my favorite sites to frequent for web advice and inspiration. I hope you get as much out of them as I have!
