Great Article on Best Practices for Integrating JavaScript into a Site
Here is a link to a great article I just read from Smashing Magazine titled “The Seven Deadly Sins of JavaScript Integration”. It addresses a lot of issues I have personally encountered.

Tool for Creating Sprites
I use CSS Sprites a lot when designing links and navigation menus because they nearly always look great without sacrificing page load time but they are a bit of a pain to create sometimes. I just stumbled upon SpriteMe.org which has been nice enough to create a tool that helps to ease the pain a little bit though.
SpriteMe features:
- finds background images
- groups images into sprites
- generates the sprite
- injects the sprite into the current page
- recomputes the CSS background-position
