SitePoint

Here is a website that gives you a lot of tips on many topics including CSS. But the one cool thing here is they have logo contest for real logo designs. They will post a logo that needs to be done and they will have a contest where you submit a design, and if your logo gets picked they pay you around $100.00 for it. Not to bad, and it gets you to work on your portfolio. Give it a try.

Dreamweaver CS3 BUG!

If you are using Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 on an Intel Mac or some XP and all Vista computers you might see a slow down. I am running the Design Premium Suite of CS3 on my Mac Pro Quad and after working in DWCS3 on it I found a very noticeable hesitation while working on a site. I didn't think much about it and restarted my computer and sure enough the delay was still there e. So then went out to the Adobe DW forums and I could not believe what I saw. Many other people have had the same problem. Adobe is well aware of the problem and is working on a fix. As soon as I see anything on a patch or update I will let you know! Just heads up for now.

Shortcut Junkie

The first step to getting better is admitting that you have a problem. That's right, I am big enough to admit I have a problem, I am a keyboard shortcut JUNKIE! Some of you know this about me, and have asked if I had any type of cheat sheet? Well here is one that is in PDF form that you can down load and print. Remember if there is not a shortcut for some thing you would like one for you can always create one. Look for that tutorial soon.
