There is a lot more to learn about our new Gallery theme. Hop on over to the product page and read all about the theme, as well as check out the live preview site and the walk-thru video.

Freebies

RapidWeaver allows you to display EXIF information for each of your photographs. Inspired by MultiTheme's PageMix theme we have created our own set of icons to dress up the EXIF information in the Gallery theme. We thought it might be nice to offer these icons up to everyone as a free download. You can get them at our sister site Icon Lab. Feel free to use them on your web site, in your application, blog, RapidWeaver theme, or for whatever other use you can think up!

Some random, useful stuff

I've run across some useful, new sites lately that have been a big help in web design and development. I thought it might be helpful to everyone if I listed some of these new finds for everyone. I've also thrown in some old favorites as well. Hopefully you'll find them useful.

Feel free to let everyone know about your favorites (whether they're on the list or not) in the comments below.

BgPatterns
A great site for creating semi-custom, tiled background patterns. It allows a lot of freedom in creating your background pattern and is simple and straightforward to use.

Some other great background pattern sites include: Stripe Generator, bgMaker, Pattern 4 U
