While working on getting my various Web pages updated and moved to WordPress, I found several nice design and CSS resources that I never knew about before. It is shocking how much content is out there for designers to use these days. Out of the thirty or so links I saved, here are some of my favorites.
CSS Remix
This Web site is one created by a union of designers that have come up with some pretty awesome work as far as layouts go. Navigation through the Web site is quick, easy and painless as well.
CSS Remix celebrates the dynamic innovation and creativity of designers who are on the forefront of CSS-based design. We honor those designers who aren’t afraid to think outside the box and who are reinventing our ideas of what great web design can be.
Checkbox & Radio Input Replacement
Ever wanted to know how to make your checkboxes and radio buttons better looking? Let Chris Erwin show you how in this excellent tutorial on the mater. Toss in a little javascript and a little CSS and beauty will be yours.

curvyCorners
It is hard these days to find a Web site that doesn’t have curvy corners on it. Rounded edges seems to be the new hip and cool thing to do. The thing that curvyCorners does is that is makes adding these corners to your Web site almost painless.
curvyCorners is a free JavaScript program that will create on-the-fly rounded corners for any HTML DIV element, that look as good as any graphically created corners.
css Zen Garden
If you just want to browse through some really awesome CSS designs, then the css Zen Garden is where you want to go. It might sound a little silly, but browsing through what all these great graphic designers have done can be relaxing.
Littering a dark and dreary road lay the past relics of browser-specific tags, incompatible DOMs, and broken CSS support. Today, we must clear the mind of past practices. Web enlightenment has been achieved thanks to the tireless efforts of folk like the W3C, WaSP and the major browser creators.
