Questions Answered: What it’s like to Run a Web Gallery
For anyone that doesn’t know, I also run a CSS web design gallery: Nice Stylesheet. John Faulds from Tyssen Design contacted me a couple weeks ago with questions on What it’s Like to Run a Web Gallery. He also contacted four other gallery owners as well with the same questions: Shabu Anower of Best CSS Gallery, Mike Archibald of CSS Yorkshire, Mike Cherim of Accessites, Ryan Detzel of InspirationFolder. John also has put together an extensive list of web design galleries and wrote The Ultimate Web Design Gallery Resource which analyzes the information that he found when putting together the list of web galleries.
If you’re a fan of design galleries, these articles are great reads. Thanks John for putting them together and thanks for all the CSS help you’ve given me over the years (John is also a CSS expert and regularly hangs out at the CSS Creator Forums as well as the SitePoint forums).

Yeah they’ve done a great job cataloging some galleries.
Interesting Q n’ A set, I enjoyed reading it.
I’m still flying under the radar w/ my gallery blog picks for:
MostInspired’s -Weekly Top Standards gallery.
It’s alot of fun pointing out the fun facts of all the great sites that come along each and every week.
Planning to launch my own site one of these days, something more than a blog, with regular monthly features.
Thanks for sharing Deron.

John: No problem at all. I appreciate you doing it. You’ve put together a great resource! Interesting to see how many other galleries are designed using ExpressionEngine.
Ty: How far along are you on your site? The time is definitely now to get it rolling. I’ve been telling myself this for a while with the other site ideas that I have. I’ve got two or three in the pipeline and after I get my golf site launched (hopefully next day or so) I’m going to be pumping out the next two or three as quickly as possible and building on them once their live. I make the mistake too much of trying to be perfect before launch and then I never get anywhere.
If you need anything let me know.
