I love-love-love sifting through CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) web galleries. And, since I love it so much, I thought I’d let you know the galleries I frequent so you can enjoy them, too. It’s a good way to get some inspiration for all-things-design and not just websites. Here’s the list.

It’s okay. You can say it.
“I told you so.”
Okay, now that that’s out of your system, let’s get down to brass tacks. I adopted Twitter about three weeks ago. It quickly became my favorite addiction. However, after using it for only a short time, I’ve come to realize its real-world value and usefulness outside of [...]
Endure this short rant and I’ll publish something awesome tomorrow. I promise. In fact, I’ll be giving something away for free!

He also founded ChurchPlanters.com (with Shawn Lovejoy) in 2006, quickly growing it to become one of America’s largest church planting organizations.
