CSS resources.... So many links to bookmark for later use. You don't always need them right away, so what I do is manage my bookmarks in Safari and my dot.Mac. It's nice to have them around but it would be much more handy if I had one document. A document that I can store and backup on DVD etc. There are some websites who have a list but what if those are down, it's the Internet after all.
