CSS Speed Links for the day
- Quick CSS Mockups with Photoshop
Taking an image from Photoshop and sectioning it off into CSS takes some time, but fortunately for us, Casper Voogt has the scoop on how to create valid standard-compliant mockups, not full sites. - CSS Printing Guide
Here's a great article if you want your site to be "printer-friendly" using CSS. - 53 CSS techniques you couldn't live without
A great list of absolutely necessary CSS techniques that you can apply to your site immediately. I found two that I've never seen before. It's definitely a list for everyone to reference. - Open Source CSS Template Sites
Andy Jarret located three great CSS Template sites where you can download the CSS layouts for free and use them in your own design.
CSS Rounded Corners Round-up
If you wanted a central location on how to create Rounded Corners with CSS, this is the place.
If you have a "Web 2.0" site, you more than likely have rounded corners in one area of your site. Right?
If not, I would recommend getting some rounded corners. Smiley Cat contains an entire CSS Rounded Corners Round-Up with just about every site I've seen of CSS techniques of rounded corners.

A great technique for designers/developers on centering something vertically on a web page.
I'm sure this little technique will get some mileage.
SimpleBits.com found a site that uses CSS to verticallly center a DIV on a web page, along with other vertical centering techniques.
Definitely worth a look.

Does your CSS look a mess? Try this new tool to clean it up.
The Clean CSS tool takes your existing CSS and cleans it by applying certain (excuse the pun) styles to the CSS.
You can take your CSS code and paste it into the workarea or use a URL to grab from a site. When you've entered your CSS into the Clean CSS, now you start to select how you want your CSS cleaned.
The compression, or code layout, is laid out in 5 categories:

Saving FACE?
FACE stands for Faruk’s Animated CSS Enhancements and may go hand in hand with AJAX.
FACE was created by Faruk Ates and had some help from Tim Hoffman. They wanted to:
“enhance standards-compliant pages without sacrificing important aspects such as accessibility, scalability and flexibility.”
I think they succeeded with their first effort. Good job, guys.
