Great article on how to start using CSS3 animations from Tuts+ .

via CSS3 Transitions And Transforms From Scratch.

If you have any interest in learning or brushing up on HTML/CSS, here’s a terrific, FREE resource – honestly, it’s better than any book or class that I’ve seen for this purpose.

30 Days to Learn HTML and CSS is a thirty-day video course designed to be completed over one month. Veteran web developer and trainer Jeffrey Way will take you through a new topic each day, giving you the building blocks you need to eventually code an entire website based on a PSD design.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn HTML and CSS, but either didn’t have the time, didn’t know where to start, or didn’t quite ‘get it’, we’re pretty sure you’re going to love this free course. All you need to give us in return is 10 minutes a day to go through each video and build your knowledge.

It’s a great chance to learn something new for just 10-15 minutes a day.

The majority of sites I build are based on WordPress – not only because it is free, amazingly extensible (is that a real term?) and just plain cool.. but I also really like it because ANYONE can use it. While there are tons of great themes out there to be had for free, it is often hard to find a really nice one to run a business site on. I have an answer for that issue though – ThemeForest (also on twitter).

ThemeForest has a fantastic selection of “premium” themes – most of which can be had for under $30. There are many other “premium theme” sites out there, but it is hard to trust many of those sites. ThemeForest is a solid choice – and clearly run by some smart people (Envato).

A sister site of ThemeForest is GraphicRiver – piles of fantastic artwork for dirt cheap. Good stuff!
