As the internet has evolved more and more resources/information have become available at the fingertips of web-surfers. The community of designers on the web is unlike any other community I know of. We provide free resources, tutorials, and even free work, with the goal in mind to build a better looking more semantic web experience. I have compiled 15 of my most frequented blogs and will reveal them in this post. Enjoy!
1. Smashing Magazine
2. Six Revisions
3. Naldz Graphics
4. Web Design Ledger
5. Web Designer Depot
6. I Love Typography
7. DESIGNM.AG
8. Web Designer Wall
9. Spoon Graphics
10. NETTUTS
11. 1stwebdesigner
12. You The Designer
13. CSS Globe
14. A list apart
15. Colour Lovers
Take this list and subscribe to everyone of these blogs. They are OUTSTANDING resources for inspiration and learning. I hope Three Styles will be half as successful as all of these guys. Of course there are plenty more blogs that I visit, I just wanted to put together a small list. Do you know of any other great blogs? Comment on this post!

Ooh! I LOVE Colour Lovers! Just used it the other day – great resource if you are really stuck for a color scheme. I have Smashing bookmarked (and I am following them on Twitter) – I also have Web Design Ledger and A List Apart in my faves list.
Good list Shane!
Oh – but you forgot Css Zen Garden – purely for ‘inspirational eye candy’ of course!
