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.
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!
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
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.
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.
