i think you might want a better font for the "I use it" links, they were difficult to read on my screen (it could also be the contrast between the text color and button color)

I just increased the contrast, thanks for the feedback!

Feel free to suggest missing sites, either here or via the submission form.

A couple more:

http://www.favicon.cc/

http://www.stripegenerator.com/

I don't think I've ever actually used the stripe generator, but there should definitely be at least one favicon site on there.

Sorry for the downtime, I'm looking into it. It seems I stupidly didn't activate the caching plugin I'm using :(

I would love the ability to create my own toolbox based off of the sites you link. The basic idea would be I login, select the sites that I use and then can see them via my account, or link other people via citricsquid.thetoolbox.cc or something. For now I can load up the page and scroll through and remember which are useful with relative ease, but if you get to the point where there are hundreds or thousands of tools listed then it'll be hard to find the ones I like.

Great work so far, submitted 2 sites.

Another suggestion: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/graphics/cssgradientbackgr...

IE's gradient builder, I find it nicer than the colorzilla one.
