Guess it helps to actually keep up with my feeds. Here are a couple of items from <strong>last week</strong> that I didn’t get a chance to read until this week.</p>
<ul><li><a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/01/31/10-principles-of-effective-web-design/">10 Principles Of Effective Web Design</a>
<p>Nice overview of 10 principles to make designs usable. Remember, web design is all about the user.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.thinkvitamin.com/features/css/stay-on-target">Stay on :target</a>
<p>Some examples of how to use  the CSS3 pseudo selector: <strong>target</strong>. If only browsers could keep up.</p>
</li>
</ul><p>Now for the items from <strong>this week</strong> that I found interesting:</p>

<ul><li><a href="http://freelanceswitch.com/general/why-being-an-average-freelancer-might-just-be-enough/">Why Being An ‘Average’ Freelancer Might Just Be Enough</a>
<p>I feel like I am an ‘average’ freelancer, and I am perfectly happy with it. My design ability is not amazing, but it’s not bad either. That’s not saying I don’t want to improve it.</p>
</li>

<li><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/04/technology/04link.html">Is Obama a Mac and Clinton a PC?</a>
<p>I love Obama’s website. It does feel very <strong>Mac-y</strong>.</p>
</li>

<li><a href="http://www.sitepoint.com/article/principles-beautiful-html-email">The Principles of Beautiful HTML Email</a>
<p>This most important part is simplicity. This is my favorite section: <strong>“An Email is Not a Web Page”</strong>.</p>
</li>

<li><a href="http://thebignoob.com/posts/cinematic-web-design/">Cinematic Web Design</a>
<p>I love the analogy.</p>
</li>

<li><a href="http://abriefmessage.com/2008/02/06/saffer/">No Child Left Behind Is Leaving Designers Behind</a>
<p>I agree totally. I wish I would have received more design training. I’m trying on my own though…</p>
</li>

<li><a href="http://ajaxian.com/archives/jquery-ui-and-jquery-enchant-alpha-versions-released-today">jQuery UI and jQuery Enchant Alpha Versions Released Today</a>
<p>More jQuery coolness. I love the demos.</p>
</li>

<li><a href="http://fadtastic.net/2008/02/07/calls-to-action-click-here/">Calls To Action - Click Here!</a>
<p>Calls to Action: such an important part of turning visitors into conversions.</p>
</li>

<li><a href="http://www.maxdesign.com.au/2008/02/09/comment-anatomy/">Anatomy of a comment</a>
<p>Interesting discussion breaking down the different parts of a comment and what popular sites display which pieces.</p>
</li>

<li><a href="http://weneedgirlfriends.tv/">We Need Girlfriends</a>
<p>Ok, so I think I’m really late with this, but this show is hilarious. Started out as an online show, and now CBS bought the show. The episodes take a long time to download from the site, so I would also recommend checking them out on <a href="http://youtube.com/user/StevenTsapelas">YouTube</a></p>
