Excellent site http://www.blogdesignblog.com and I am really pleased to see you have this this post.

Great list of resources here, thought as I was here and have just been handed a ton of great sites that will hopefully curb a few of my poor design habiots thought I would give something back!!! http://digg.com/d31WND7 You’ve been dug! BTW why not add a digg button to your “give some love back?” section!
The last feature worth mentioning is its ability to handle six keys being pressed simultaneously.
Right! Never stop improving if you want to be the best….
Thank you for your alert!!! I have remembered it.
