In an effort to share a wide variety of web-related resources with our readers, we've posted a new book review over on our blog for the Prentice Hall book "The Design of Sites: Patterns for Creating Winning Web Sites" (2nd edition).

If you do anything on a website besides sitting in you chair only coding all day long, you owe it to yourself to check out a copy of this book from Prentice Hall - The Design of Sites. Now, I can almost feel the eyes rolling from here even at the mention of this kind of book, but trust me - pick up a copy and thumb through it and you’ll see the difference.

Check out the rest of the review here and get more details on the book itself from the Prentice Hall site or from a retailer like Amazon.

David Sklar points out some of the new base sites that are being offered on the PHP-based mashup site, Ning.

It's been a lot of hard work, so I'm quite excited that we've just released three great new Ning sites: Ning Videos, Ning Photos, and Ning Group.

Plus, all three sites have the juicy bits that every site on the Ning platform gets -- things such as cloneability, complete customization, and built-in REST APIs. I've been watching the feeds for clones of photos and videos -- I suppose seeing who's cloned sites you care about is the Web 2.0 version of ego surfing.

He also talks about some of the features of the Ning Photo cloneable site like the slideshow and, in Ning Video, the embeddable player. The Ning Group application also has parsing abilities to help with sharing documents/music/photos/etc with anyone.
