      Thanks for the list, it’s appreciated. I know what I *don’t* like…but, I have a hard time coming up with “new” ways to do things that work for me *and* an audience…b/c not everybody likes the same stuff. Some of these (useit, etc) I’ve seen & read for years…others, I’ve never seen. Thanks!

      I find http://www.UXpond.com to be the best way to search and compare results between blogs and journals etc. It’s particularly good for searching all the popular pattern libraries in one go.
