Choose Your Colors Wisely
The use of proper colors can make or break your web design. Color is complementary to content and in his post we discuss how you should be choosing the colors for your next website so that it shines with professionalism, ease of use and manages to look dazzling at the same time.
Web Design Ledger rounds up “The Best Icon Sets for Minimal Style Web Design“—a great mix of plain, non-color, non-dimensional, and mostly vector icons.

When you to design web pages, you usually start drafting on paper first.

Looks like a nice replacement for SWFObject, as 90% of my web projects use jQuery anyway.
Instapaper drops IE support too, a bold good move. Congratulations.
All designers and developer struggled with the “IE support” phenomenan for years and Microsoft -as ignorant and arrogant as ever- seems just happy to offer the most ridiculous browser on the planet as a free mandatory dose of anti-design pieace of non-sense with its OS, Windows.
Even IE8 seems hopless. In a world where Safari and Firefox are focusing on CSS3 and HTML5, Internet Explorer just gets slower. I remember IE3 when Netscape used to rule. Lessons learnet? With Microsoft never, ever!
They don’t listen to the users. They just listen to the clients who happens to be senior IT executives in gigantic companies. Do they care about user experience, compatibilty issues and etc etc? Apparently not.
I would suggest a nice badge to be designed: “IE support dumped proudly!” so all designers and developers can place it in their proudly IE-support-dumped websites. Put a link for the users to download Firefox and Safari too.
