Beautiful stuff.

I agree with the concern that there is a lot of filler. However, even if I don’t follow the links or work through the tutorials, it’s nice even just to see the thumbnail to get a sort of inspiration from all the different styles.

Maybe a happy medium for this would a “top five” at the beginning, then post the rest afterwards?

Either way, there is definitely some great stuff here, thanks for posting it!!

Well, since I’m not a “professional” web designer, I do happen to like all the different things listed here.
Once I become a “professional” at anything, I will know enough not to worry about somebody’s long list. I will be grateful to be able to get something for free.

@Kyle – No worries. I don’t think you are trying to hate on WDL. We understand your concerns, but I can assure you that we don’t want this site to be like all of the others. Our main goal is to provide useful info for you and other web designers. We don’t plan on doing tons of articles like this, but we realize that some find them useful.

We really appreciate your feedback.

I believe I have seen the Viget-Extend/Taproot Creative style at least 20 times in the last 5 years with a variety of themes. With all due respect it is not a groundbreaking, original idea.

I’m disappointed with this post. I was hoping Web Design Ledger would provide something more valuable than more “Here are a TRILLION tutotials on !”, like Smashing Magazine.

A lot of professional web developers simply don’t have time to explore these posts in detail. The most valuable service a web-design blog can provide is *filtering* out all the cruft.

Anyone can search Google for “design inspiration” and post 400 links on their blog. I would like to see someone post LESS links — “Top 5 hand-picked sources for nature themed design”, for example.

Not trying to hate on this blog — I really do like it I just *really* don’t want WDL to become another bloated, lame Smashing Magazine.
