It is indeed true that there is a glut of websites about websites. Unless you truly have a passion about web design I doubt if you can make any money in this saturated business. In the begining, there were websites. Now you have blogs, wikkis, myspace, geocities et all.

This is a great list! One comprehensive web design site you’re leaving out is the Web Design Dashboard:

It’s a simple design and they update the site regularly, plus they take submissions from users so they always have the most up to date resources. A really great go-to.

Well if I were to recommend sites - I would more move to sites that are design centric, and not format centric. Inspiration in design instead of structure.

I would have to list the following:

http://www.notcot.org

And specifically to the new media kick:

And who knew that declaring “99.9% Flash Bad” would make you a punching bag?

Eric: Nielsen made himself into a punching bag, no question. I must admit, I’m starting to pay attention to him again. I’m not quite ready to recommend his books again to my students (we do well by Krug); that said, he’s back on my radar.

And which new media sites would you recommend?

I gotta say that I am saddened to see a lack of new media sites being shown, or at least a separate category for them. While I understand that they wouldn’t fall into the Web Design in terms of straight coding and CSS, they most certainly apply in terms of usability and design.

And a big boo for adding Jakob Nielsen (it burns to even type his name). At least you commented on his being “self-admitted.” His watered down rules on what accessibility is results in little more than lowest common denominator standards and lack of insight into true web habits.

To include him in a post titled “Web DESIGN links” that matter, is confusing.
