In the past weeks, I have been using blockquotes more than any other element packaged into Elite Platinum and the current Elite By Design theme. I find them to be great ways to organize list posts and separate large bodies of text. Today, I’m going to show you four new blockquotes I have included in Platinum, and how you can make them in CSS so they can be used on your own website.

After writing yesterday’s post about comment zone design, I felt that I hadn’t really offered enough inspiration into the field. 15 sites just isn’t enough to get a grasp on the endless possibilities that lay out there when it comes to comment zone design. That’s why today I want to showcase 15 more creative and original comment zones.

There have been a few articles in the past couple of weeks that have gotten me to focus on comment form design - most specifically the one from Kreativ Use. However, while the form design can be appealing, and sometimes entertaining, the actual comments themselves should be the larger focus. After all, you want your readers to feel comfortable engaging in a discussion on your blog - from typography, to element placement (name, date, etc.) all the way down to color and organization, comment zones are extremely important to a web design.

Web design has become one of the largest online fields with thousands of people pitting their designs against those of others every day. While the field is still young and growing, there are few designers that are recognized by all and have stood the test of time as their designs prevail over all others. Today, I want to share fifty must-read resources if you want to get started on the path of creating incredible web designs. Remember, beautiful designs aren’t made overnight - this is a process that takes time and practice. Don’t give up - instead, read on and find either a website, article, tutorial, or just some inspiration to help you take yourself and your business to the next level.

Today, I’ve collected 30 web design of international web designers. It can be nice to see the pros at their best. I’ve gone with a wide range of designers - from large companies, to small, single person portfolios. Keep in mind that a lot of designers with beautiful sites have already been featured in my two previous posts - so check those out too! I hope that no matter what project you are embarking on, something here can help you out. Enjoy!
