Loads of them ready to use, but a link in the forum instead of in the link section? What's that about! socoder.net/?topic=1679 ; WebDesignPond.co.uk Spinal's girlfriend has built up a nice new website filled to the brim with articles, tutorials and all kinds of thing about Web Design.

(Spinal) In a shocking new find, Spinal has unearthed some old comics, lying around the house, and they're all american, with proper superheros and everything!
