There are projects which I’m using Subversion and some that I don’t. There are also other things which are very valuable to me like bookmarks, code snippets & more.

And every designer, developer, for sure, lost a few days work because of not backing up the files regularly.

I have started using Mozy Online Backup Free version as a backup solution for my dev. files in general. It provides 2GB space for free, very easy to configure, can take scheduled backups and works silently.

Mozy Online Backup

It is an impressive product as it totally reduces the risk of losing data. And works both in Windows and Mac.

There are also other versions of Mozy:

There are few printed publications for web designers and developers.

Website Magazine is a free magazine specially for web designers / developers that is published every 3 months. I’m a subscriber for 9 months and liked the issues until now as most of the subjects were analysed in deep. And to be honest, I like reading printed materials more.

Free Website Magazine

The subscription is free but sign-ups are evaluated first and then approved. To apply for a free subscription, click here.

Template World, a website providing high quality templates including premium WordPress themes, Joomla templates and even logo templates, has high quality free XHTML / CSS templates which you may use or inspire.

Look at how beautiful these free XHTML templates are:
