Are We Using Enough HTML in Our Classic ASP?
Classic ASP is great for providing dynamic content, but HTML and CSS are really the ones responsible for styling that content. Matthew Corner recently noted that maybe we could use HTML a bit more to make things easier for the web designer and the reader.
Matthew has
compiled a list of 10 underused HTML tags, explaining what they are and how to
use them. He also provides links to further resources.

Free Paper Texture Backgrounds
You’d think that “paper” and “website” would be two things that just couldn’t go together. But a lot of designers use paper on purpose to convey a kind of “retro realness” to their website designs.
Vandelay Designs provides a list of 35 free paper backgrounds. (And in case you have never been there, Vandelay also has a whole myriad of tools, tips, and tricks for website design, Photoshop, and more…!)

Save, Sync, and Share Your Files with Dropbox
The average person now has more than one “computer.” A desktop, a laptop, a smart phone, maybe even an iPad, all designed to make it easier to work on the go.The problem is that your files don’t always go with you. Sure, it’s great to be able to work on that file from your laptop – if you remember to transfer it from your work computer. Flash drives work well, and even emailing the file, but again you have to rely on your own memory. For many of us, that’s the weak link in the chain!
Dropbox has welded that weak link for you. Dropbox acts almost like a virtual drive, allowing you to backup, store, and sync your files with an online file server. Simply move your file to a special folder on your computer and it will automatically save to your private and secure online Dropbox. Then, no matter what you use to edit that file, it will automatically backup to your Dropbox as well so that you are always working with the same file. No remembering to backup to a flash drive, no emailing a file – it’s all done automatically for you!
Dropbox takes this one step further by allowing you to share files with those people you designate. Share Microsoft Word docs, photos, Dreamweaver files – whatever type of file you want. You also have full control so you can “unshare” as well.
Best of all, it has a free 2GB Dropbox option, perfect for light use. Paid versions allow you to store and share up to 100GB of content. Backup your files remotely, sync with your own mobile devices, and share with others.

Free Fonts Can Help Make Your Website Distinct
One of the best ways to make your website distinctive – or any aspect of your marketing for that matter – is by using a distinctive font. Places like MyFonts.com can really help out, though sometimes the prices can get into the hundreds of dollars for a font.
However if you poke around enough, you can usually find some decent fonts for cheap or even free. Be careful though – some free fonts are worth exactly what you pay for them. It's always good to test them in the program you are using (especially when converting to PDF) to ensure they work properly.
Here’s a list of free fonts to get you started:
