If you followed this post over from Blogging For Noobs, then you know this mornings story. The summation is I found a potential spamback link in my comments at the Celebrity Rumors and decided to follow it with due diligence before allowing it. it was a spamback, but it had links to a wealth of good sites worthy of showing you. Here they are.
While not the most important thing in a theme, the color scheme is certainly the first thing noticed by a visitor to your blog. This handy little color scheme picker will help you come up with an appropriate scheme quickly and easily.
I also found this three part series on usefull css code snippets. Part 1, 2, 3.
This is a nice graphically based use of rounded css corners complete with free graphics and code. The size they give you could easily work as a background image for your blog page.
This Web 2.0 Generator link page had a lot of great links for theme builders as well as just general bloggers.
Sadish Bala had some interesting links and advice of his own on his blog.
Emily Robbins hasn’t updated her blog, How To Blog, in along enough that I consider it abandoned, but that doesn’t stop the old stuff from being worth reading.
Design Disease has some great themes of their own for free.
I also found a really nice site, Web Designer Wall, with some recent articles on using large image backgrounds.
My limited programming knowledge didn’t make the next site very useful to me, but the more I am learning about Wordpress code, Devlounge’s article on how to write a wordpress plugin is where I am going to start reading.

Amazing how spam can be useful at times.
sometimes the pop up ads may be misleading as well
