Why only scriptaculous in “Script” section? What about jQuery, MooTools or YUI libraries?
2 Vijay Teach Me Jul 9, 2007 at 9:06 am
Thanks for compiling a very very useful list for all of us.
Note: I donot mind click on the affiliate links also as long as they have value associated with the post.

thats cool!

also you can add mysite for hosting and domain

kangax,
The websites I listed were all sites that I am familiar with. I don’t use a lot of scripts from these sites (a few from Dynamic Drive) so I really am not familiar with the sites you mentioned. They could be better than what I listed, but I really have no idea. Thanks for stopping by and for your input.
Vijay,
Thanks for your feedback. I visited your blog and it looks like you have some good stuff there.
Umut,
Thanks for the resource, looks like your prices are pretty good.
5 Niklas Waller Jul 10, 2007 at 12:38 am
Good list! Thanks for that!
One thing that I thought of that might be useful as well for web developing is two sites for finding icons/images.
Take a look at:
- http://www.iconlet.com/
- http://www.iconfinder.net/
Another tip is the web IDE - Aptana for html, css, javascript and easier ajax development (http://www.aptana.com/).
Best regards

Nick,
Thanks for the added resources!
Chita,
The hosting links are affiliate links because 1) I use Host Gator for this site and I am very pleased with their service, 2) One of my ongoing clients uses NewWebsite.com and they are great too, 3) I felt Dotster had some good prices and features. I don’t see a problem in using affiliate links for services that I can honestly recommend to my visitors. As you can see, my website is not full of ads (in fact, I think the hosting services are the only affiliate links at this point), so I feel like it is safe to say that I am not simply trying to make a quick buck from the site.
Thanks for visiting and for your feedback.
13 chita Jul 11, 2007 at 6:34 pm
thanks for being honest!
i was complaining because i humbly think that it would be better to say (affiliate link) beside an affiliate link, this really works, and visitors like this kind of clarity.
You see, it’s just like google, thier ads are very explicit, they just don’t include ad links in the sreach results but specify that it’s an ad when it’s an ad. You see what i mean?
Anyway, your answer to my previous comment is a way for clarifying this and i bet the visitors will like that more.
Thank you

This is actually how I made it to the del.icio.us front page for the first time. My article 83 Top Webmaster Resources became popular at D-Zone, and the increased traffic that came from D-Zone lead to a lot of bookmarks and a spot on the del.icio.us front page for a while. Using other social sites as a gateway is a proven tactic. […]
