I thought I would take this opportunity to say what I am thankful for on the web. <strong>I am thankful for:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zeldman.com\/\">Jeffrey Zeldman<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/meyerweb.com\/\">Eric Meyer<\/a> (and others)<\/strong>\n<p>They really helped to spearhead the Web Standards movement, and without them, I probably wouldn&rsquo;t be in the field today.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.simplebits.com\/publications\/bulletproof\/\">Bulletproof Web Design<\/a><\/strong>\n<p>This is one of the first web development books I had ever read, and it definitely helped to provide a strong foundation to build on. Thank god for Dan Cederholm&rsquo;s brilliance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!--more-->\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/\">Twitter<\/a><\/strong>\n<p>What I first saw as a silly little web app, really has become a great networking tool. I can post a question and someone is always around to answer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cssmastery.com\/\">CSS Mastery<\/a><\/strong>\n<p>I really took a big step forward in my ability after reading this book. Instead of just being a novice at CSS, I feel like I can tackle anything now.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/ie7-js\/\">Dean Edwards&rsquo; IE7 Script<\/a><\/strong>\n<p>I can&rsquo;t tell you how many times I have used it. While I have begun to use it less and less, it saved my life when slicing early in my career.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/\">WordPress<\/a><\/strong>\n<p>It really is a flexible CMS. I honestly try and suggest it for every single site I am creating.<\/p> \n<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/jquery.com\/\">jQuery<\/a><\/strong>\n<p>I am in love with it. I knew some JavaScript before, but  after easily learning jQuery, I feel much more comfortable writing JavaScript now.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>So what are you thankful for?<\/strong><\/p>","4":{"website":{}}}}
