We’ve added a few resources to our analytics section: Compete.com and Statsaholic.com both offer the ability to compare multiple domains’ traffic, ranking, etc. – really valuable information.
There are also a few new sites to spark inspiration! Selected Web-Design is a great gallery style site that allows users to search by design feature – pretty handy, and Moluv.com offers a gallery of favorite sites as well as success tips and a submission feature.
Last but not least we’ve added DesignDump – a really great resource for graphic designers, and Joyoge.com – a new social media/bookmarking site specifically for design-related resources.
Enjoy! And be sure to check the dashboard often – we’re still constantly adding new stuff.

We’ve had a great response from everyone and the suggestions are pouring in…as a result we’ve added quite a few more resources.
Under the Web Design section we’ve added a new site with over 40+ CSS Tutorials. Also check out our newest Inspiration site Fubiz.net, with eye-catching photos, designs, new products and music samples.
There is a completely new category under Site Maintenance, featuring a list of reputable E-Commerce processing companies. We’ve also added links to new usability testing software, Silverback, as well as The Broken Link Preventer, a program that stops broken links on your webpage in real time.
Just a few examples of how our list is growing. We want this to become the most comprehensive resource out there, so thanks for the suggestions and keep em’ coming!
