It appears the W3C has decided to take HTML a step further (after several years) and bring it up to date with XHTML, WebForms, and Xforms standards. Of course, don't expect any of this to be very noticable as machines, browsers, platforms (as well as a variety versions and combinations of all of the pervious) will make a mess out of standardization.

Do you like what flickr was designed to do, but hate it's doctor's office interface?

Check out fotologue, a japanese website (with an English interface!) that takes flickr and injects a W Hotel-like sense of style.

Trying to keep up with the Jones' in terms of web design? Your one-stop should be The Favourite Website Awards (it should be The FLASH Website Awards...since 99% of the sites are Flash).

If you are designing a website and want a base to start from, The FWA is a great square 1.

Looking for some of that fancy "greeking" text to put your layout as a copy place holder? Try the Lorem Ipsum Greeking Generator.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
