Introducing Stylin

I've been collecting links to sites with style or have certain aesthetic qualities that set them apart.  Since I do a lot of theming it's also good to have a ready reference to sites that I like.  Bookmarking the sites isn't efficient enough because I have to click on text links to display the screenshots I'm looking for, and that could be a lot of clicks.  So to provide a better reference to stylin websites I created my new Stylin blog at http://dbvt.com/stylin.  A screenshot of the first three posts is below. 

The blog is a mirrored feed of my main blog's "Stylin" category.  With a mirrored blog and separate theme I could display multiple screenshots in a pageable list rather than text links, yet continue to post to my main blog.  Each screenshot is linked to a full-size image of the screenshot in case the original changes, with a link to the source website and a few comments on what I like about the style.

Great idea Dave!  I use to keep a file of screenshots taken from  sites that I liked the style of ... now after years of little creativity and web site development (I live in web app world or services and db stuff these days) - i've lost my file somewhere between boston and seattle.  So know I can just utilize you Smile

You "lost your file somewhere between boston and seattle."  HAHAHAHA!  Since you're my main filter to the world of .NET I don't normally get to read, I'll do my best to be your filter to the world of website styles.  Best to you out there, Jason!

What an awesome idea Dave. I am a sucker for good looking sites. I have a whole ton collected and go back through them every now and then. I'll look forward to seeing the nice sites you come accross.

Ryan, it's great to hear from you!  Thanks for the confirmation.  I have several great feeds that show new websites, so this will be my favorites of those.  I've got over 80 from the last several months to get online as well, including the site that inspired my current theme.
