CSS-Galleries.com - an index of CSS inspiration

Evenin' all - long time lurker, first time poster here :)

I've just launched a project I've been working on for some time, so I guess this post is part shameless self-promotion and part sharing about (what I think is) a fantastic new service.

CSS Galleries
http://css-galleries.com

I became so fed up of having to trawl through dozens of RSS feeds from all of the big CSS design/inspiration showcase sites (CSS Mania, Stylegala, CSS Drive, CSS Beauty etc etc), and I decided that one feed of all content would make life so much easier. So I went ahead and build CSS Galleries. It's still in beta, but thought others would find it useful!

Nice site. My only quibble is that I would prefer the main column to be wider. Instead of 2 per row, I would do 3 or 4 per row. :)

[nickdunn]

That's a fair point actually. When I first started it, I hadn't planned on having so many thumbnails on the page. When I get some time this week I'll play around and see how it looks with a few more thumbnails per row. Ta!

I agree, though the design looks nice, its annoying to have to scroll so much to see all the sites

Hey pal , the site looks great . Can you tell me , what CMS , you use , if at all you use one ???

And hey , Coxis has started a similar one , www.cssbloom.com , have it a look.

The primary aim is to provide the RSS feed (hence there's no archive or search utility on the site... yet) so I haven't been focusing on how the sites are displayed on the page.

But I've made the design wide enough to fit 4 thumbnails on each row, and I must say, I think it's an improvement. So thanks :)

Looks great Nick. I like the four across format much better. :)

It's a custom-built system I made. There's a simple database of galleries, sites and links between them, and some ASP code to collect the various data feeds and query the database. I thought about using a blogging engine, but since the whole site needed to be automated, I felt it easier to build my own.

dude, i've been drooling all over your site for the last week. didn't realize you post here. <3

Really nice site you've got there.

Hi Nick, it's a nice idea and I will defitnetely be visiting it every now and then.

My only concern is that I wouldn't class some of the sites that you will get through W3csites and Dailyslurp as being CSS sites, some are table based.

Also W3csites isn't a showcase in the way that for example CSSimport is, so you won't get sites that are chosen for their great design neccesarily, maybe I am being over picky.

Good work though.

Looks good to me, how could I get some of my sites listed? I've got many designs, using only css.
