Free Web site templates
For the non-technical, a simple way to save some money when launching or redesigning your Web site is to go with an existing template.

Top Earning Websites
Today I created a list of the top 30 earning websites in the world, for some of these websites, $50 million in revenue a day is just a typical day, crazy isn’t it?

Lynx Viewer
Lynx Viewer This service allows web authors to see what their pages will look like (sort of) when viewed with Lynx, a text-mode web browser. Note: for best results, you should download a copy of Lynx itself and run it locally on your own machine, rather than use this service, if you can. That will also let you view pages on your internal network that my machine can't get to.

IMified works with AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo!
Web 2.0 Backpack: Web Apps for Students - ReadWriteWeb
Earlier today, Richard took a look at the state of e-learning 2.0, which got me to thinking about how school might be different if I were in college today because of the influx of new Web 2.0 apps aimed and students. I went to a school that utilized a Virtual Learning Environment called WebCT (since absorbed by the Blackboard company), and it really wasn't very fun to use. Note taking meant writing on paper, study groups meant face-to-face meetings, and if you were struggling through Shakespeare, your best bet was to turn to the library, not the Internet. When I was in college most of the tools in this round up didn't exist. It was truly the dark ages of education!
Building a Stylish Blog Design Layout in WordPress
Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been through the process of creating a stylish blog design in Photoshop, coding it up into a static HTML and CSS concept, and now we’ll put the whole thing together as a fully working WordPress theme. Follow this step by step walkthrough of the various WordPress theme files, and see how the HTML is split up and injected with PHP tags to provide the complete blogging functionality. At the end of the last tutorial, we were left with a working HTML and CSS concept of the blog homepage. Since then, a generic inner page has been styled up, to give the CSS for page elements such as comments, author description etc that appear when viewing a complete blog post. A WordPress theme consists of multiple PHP files.
