background_color
If using a user style sheet to customize this site in conjuction with its css signature is more overhead than you feel is worthwhile, I also built in a hook that allows you to kill the background color on any page by appending 'whitebg' as a query string to its URL. I've been meaning to implement some sort of style switching mechanism with a friendly interface, but this'll have to do until I'm able to free up some more time.

css_filters
I just added some information regarding the various methods that are available to hide troublesome CSS from specific browsers. There's not much there that can't be found elsewhere on the Web, but having it all in one place can't hurt.

photoblogs
I'd had it in the back of my mind to compile a list of good photography-oriented sites, but Photoblogs.org negates any need to do so. There are currently 291 sites indexed, with plans for syndication & actual photographic content of some sort.

php_sidebars
For the browsers that support them, PHP.net now provides sidebars to search its site. I wrote some simple favelets to do this a few months ago, but the sidebar approach certainly has its advantages.

html_ref
The WDG provides one of the best HTML References on the Web, with comments in plain English regarding each element in HTML 4.0, including clear explanations as to which elements are allowed where, as well as links to the relevant sections of the W3C's specification.
When I first found their site, I was very much a newbie, and the actual specs were a bit daunting (to say the least), so I built a frameset to allow me to easily navigate the reference, and during the following year or so, it proved to be an invaluable resource. I'm sure there are other, similar tools out there, but it'd be silly to not make this one available as well.
