Web Standards Link Bonanza

As a result of the Great Book Giveaway Contest, 485 comments were collected, each with a link to a favorite article, web site or weblog entry relating to web standards.

Steve Smith has kindly formatted these comments into a nice, neat, easily digestible list of links, complete with titles.

Shaun Inman put together a similar list (coming soon) which lists every URL posted, along with a tally of how many folks shared the same article.

Both Shaun and Steve deserve a pat on the back for all of their hard work. This is a great collection of links — so thank you once again to all who entered.
