I am in the process searching for a good solution for galleries, and the article posted by tutorialblog.org offers great resources and references. It is an excellent collection if you are considering setting up an easy gallery on your site.

“There are a large number of Flash image galleries but sometimes Flash is not required or cant be used so we turn to Javascript and CSS. Here is a roundup of some of the better Javascript and Ajax based solutions to our gallery requirements …”

In this post, you can find 12 image galleries. Here I would like to mention a couple I like the most.

• Modified Hoverbox Image Gallery

• slideViewer

• Minishowcase

To make the web appealing is a task for web developers. To have some codes handy for use is a good idea.  Here is a small list of some of them. I hope this list will grow over the time…

Jibberbook -a free guestbook. Downloadable.

Fisheye –”The idea behind a fisheye control is a strip of icons, being vertical or horizontally laid out that reacts to the user’s mouse as it approaches the icon.”

phatfusion – It is a javascript men. Clicking on each image opens the item and closed it.

Fade Out Bottom — “This is a cool effect where the bottom of the page seems to fade out. The technique makes use of an fixed position div (bottom: 0%) with a transparent PNG image and a high z-index value.”

It is cool to set a picture or a phrase reflect itself . ReflectionMaker is a free online tool for this very task. You simply upload a photo from your local disk or a webspace, specify how big you want it reflected shadow is and the work is done. So simply, isn’t it?

Here is a photo I made. Quite neat, I think you would agree.

Another tool is Speech Bubble tool. You add some word, click enter, the word is placed in a speech bubble. Fast and easy.
