I'm going to start with this site I just Stumbled, because it is SO COOL, and just wow, I love it lol.

First check this site out first real quick, DONTCLICK.IT (it's safe to click it BTW). It's a pretty cool site I just found and thought it was interesting. Don't play with it for long though, you've got plenty to do with all that is listed below!

Okay now that that's out of the way. It's Tool Time!!

Below is a list of 9 different categories, that aren't really categorized that well I will admit. But I did my best, this is a huge list.

* Note: To view the tools and resources of each of the 9 categories, click on the title of it, and it will expand and reveal the links and image previews of each site.
P.S. apologies for some of the images appearing distorted due to the screen shot program I used being gay. Too many to take 1 by 1.

1. WordPress Themes, Plugins, Tools and More

You can never have enough WordPress Tools. These are some you may not be aware of, if that's even possible. But in case it is, we wanted to make sure you knew about them. That's why I put them at the top of the list. After all, this site is mainly focused on WordPress stuff right!

2. Code, Developing, Debug, and Minify Tools

A great mix of online coding applications, tools for debugging and fixing errors and also code compression tools.

3. Images, Design, Graphic, and Creative Tools

Anything that has to do with the visual look or design, images and graphics are in this section.

4. CSS 3 Tools Code Tools and Resources

You know about CSS 3 by now I'm sure. Though you probably haven't seen all of these great tools and useful online references and other great things that could make learning CSS 3 so much easier for you.

5. HTML 5, Canvas, SVG Tools and Resources

Are you using HTML 5 yet? It's a great time to start learning it, and here's a great place to start off with too. This has all kinds of cool HTML 5, Canvas, and SVG online tools, quick references and other worthwhile resources.

6. jQuery/JavaScript Tools and Resources

Not the most complete list of jQuery tools I know. That's because there are a zillion other roundups you've probably seen already so I just kept this to the best and most useful. Or just my personal favorites and things I felt deserve being shared.

7. Typopgraphy, Text, and Font Tools

These are the text and type tools to take things you type to a whole new level of fantastic. Typography has become much more widely used with the release of new technologies like the @font-face CSS tag, along with other things like Cufon, and Webkit. Check out these great tools.

8. Even More Miscellaneous Website Tools

Here is a broader range in variety than the previous groups, consisting of collaboration, community building, user feedback, site metrics, speed testing, and numerous other useful tools.

9. Online Tool Roundups and List Posts

Now for the cherry topper, the gigantic list of other gigantic lists, all filled with more various goodies, and delicious chocolatey goodness.

10. If you have made it through this list and are still alive...

Then you're a lier, a cheater and a big fat phoney! No honest designer or developer would/should be able to have made it through this entire list of tools and resource links without skipping down, and in-turn ignoring some great stuff that you'll regret not checking out. Okay, I'm sorry, you're cool.

Which brings me to this rant, and the reason I mentioned at the top of this page why I try to keep these types of posts to a minimum. That's why you won't find too many roundups on this site. Though the one's you will find are worth your time like 15 WordPress 3.0 code snippets or the 12 most commonly posted blog topics which can give you some perspective on how often you see the same things. I know, for me, posts like these (which have already taken over internetz), are very counter-productive for people like me, and you. I mean just making this post, I became quite unproductive, and couldn't stop.

It's okay in moderation, but SOOOO many damn SITES do WAY to MANY posts like this. Just look at the last group of roundup posts above. You can make roundup list posts of other roundups posted all over the web. It's just too much and so stupid, I think so anyways. It would be nice to see more substance and less traffic/ad revenue/lifeless sites/uninteresting sites online. It's so impersonal and has become somewhat, anti-social? Similar to how teenagers these days are more comfortable communicating through online methods, texting, or other ways that aren't in person, or as personal.

I know I've become conditioned to much rather prefer to communicate with people through email, instant messaging, or texting.
Have you?

Do you think the internet could use more personal, personality, and less impersonation?
