LINK MONSTER

Just finished weeding out the dead links, revising the links that have moved, and adding new links to my resources pages. Added a handy search engine mostly to help me find the where-the-hell-are-they links. Also added a new category, Search Engines: Off the beaten path. Speaking of search engines: awww, poor NUblog. Here's a batch of typical search engine requests for this site. Mu-haha! BTW I removed 'sex' from my Resources. But not to fret, you can now find them at Cheap Thrills.

During the clean-up, I compiled this HUGE-ASS list o' links that just caught my fancy:

ART
• Since I saw The Mummy Returns aka a chance to see Oded in action for Mummy's Day, it seemed appropriate to take the Louvre's virtual tour of Eqyptian Antiquities.

BROWSERS
• From CodeBitch, The minor browsers grow up.

CODE
• I have the redesign of my top page on the back burner. I thought I'd see if I could do a little something just using CSS and XHTML. Revisited Evolt's The XHTML Transition.
• Stop the Browser Insanity: ZDNeteaders say why or why not they're implementing DHTML.
• BBEdit 6.1.2 is out. Here's what's different.

DESIGN: WEB STYLE GUIDES
• I love a good style guide. Looks like a lot of universities are creating their own. Here's a variety of university/educational Web Style Guides:
  • Xavier University
  • Southeast Missouri State University
  • Florida State University
  • OHSU
• And while looking up style guide info, I ran across this list of recommended style manuals, dictionaries, and reference books.
• And here's the Mac Web Style Guide. I like it for the style and product names: email or e-mail?
