Date of Creation: Unknown

Descrition: Simple HTML Guide is also similar to HTML Dog and HTML reference. However, the layout of the information on the "cheat sheet" is something I find easy to follow and can be a little more handy.

Date of Creation: 2008

Descrition: XHTML.com is a different website out of the others on this list. It includes more than basic information about XHTML tags. It is not as easy to follow compared to the rest, but it includes more than just the basic information. I found the layout and navigation of the site a little confusing, but the information provided outweighs the poor navigation.

Date of Creation: 1996
Date Last Accessed: February 22, 2014
Descrition: Blooberry has a good orginzation of the CSS properties. They have all the CSS properties listed alphabetically which is great. Overall the navigation of the site is good, however the color scheme is somewhat of an acquired tasted. After getting used to the color scheme, the information provided is a little more than just a basic example. Blooberry provides information about browser compatibility and links to CSS docs.

Descrition: Elizabeth Castro's website layout is very easy on the eye. The 2 column layout is a great visualization tool. The fact that she has all of them listed on one page makes it very convient as a "cheat sheet" that I think might be great for some people.

I found the information they provide useful and something to keep in mind when developing a website. They have other blogs that are also useful, but it takes a little hashing to go through all thier blogs and finding the right ones.
