[url]http://css3pie.com/[/url] (makes shadow, corners, etc work uniformly across internet explorer 6-9 only requiring a link to the PIE.htc file itself)
[url]http://afarkas.github.com/webshim/demos/[/url] (webshims, uses javascript to make html 5 work on old browsers requiring again only a link to the library)

I compiled all the links (plus some I had handy) into a bookmark folder, here's the download [url=http://www.mediafire.com/view/?b471k5bvaei123a]link[/url], just import it as normal...

Useful if you're lazy and you want to paste in a framework.
Anyone else wants to post links? Also, it would be great if you also tell me which category the link goes to.
feel free to look at the links in the toolbox and post the website if you really think it's going to help others.
Tools (or fonts):
[url=http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator]Fontsquirrel fontface generator[/url] - Generates custom fonts for cross browser use
Tools:
[url=http://gskinner.com/RegExr/]RegExr[/url] - A tool for easily testing regex match and replace. Also comes with a bunch of snippets.
Design resources:
[url=http://www.colourlovers.com]ColourLovers[/url] - Like Kuler, but a much better and quicker API
Some more awesome fonts here - [url]http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/catalogue[/url]
Neat little arrow generator - [url]http://cssarrowplease.com/[/url]
Cross browser testing - [url]http://browserling.com/[/url]
I didn't update the old thread because I think giving 100+ links with no description is kinda useless. Didn't find time to write one for every link people posted. Full list is here [url]https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Dahg95cl61URcNpuPQOtY5C7YOGQLH0i8J_-15wJCKw[/url]
This has been ridiculously beneficial to me. Thanks so much, especially for the Toolbox link. Christ.
That toolbox link is bloody awesome.
I really will have fun using some of those tools.
Why is this not stickied?
[QUOTE=jamie1130;37368775]Why is this not stickied?[/QUOTE]
facepunch doesnt sticky stuff. much.
This thread is so epic, thanks for taking the time to gather and write down all those links!
I needed to google this to find it. It should really be stickied. Bump!
There's a couple of web-design based blogs that wouldn't hurt to follow.
[url=http://webdesignledger.com/]Web Design Ledger[/url] - Slight iOS and Macintosh bias and keeps wishing doom on Flash, but their resources are excellent.
[url=http://sitepoint.com/]Sitepoint[/url] - Browser trends and expansion into different types of fields, including WordPress.
[url=http://www.oswd.org/]Open Source Web Design[/url] - Templates and stuff. Got this in a college eMail.

Felt the need to bring this back up.
