My reason for lack of updates is because I have been working on a few designs over the last couple of weeks in some attempt to restart my creative drive. My interest in web design stems from a love of graphic design, but when you do a BSc in Web System Development your time tends to be taken up doing less creative stuff, like usability studies and waiting for everyone else to learn HTML.
designmeltdown.com is a great resource for aspiring web designers that covers the current trends and explains why and where they should be used.
Whilst there are a lot of tutorial sites around that cover colour theory, Photoshop techniques and layout, I have never come across anything quite as complete and well backed up with real world examples.
I urge you all to take a look.
