Sure, Liquid Designs is yet another CSS showcase site (YACSS) but its twist is that it only highlights CSS sites with liquid layouts. Liquid layouts always present a certain set of challenges and it will be interesting to see if any really complex sites are listed.

Design Shack - Inspirational CSS and Blog Design is yet another CSS showcase site (YACSS). Its twist is that it counts click throughs versus views and you can get a feel for how this information could be interesting particularly on the archive page.

There are ratings, too, though it's not immediately obvious how to me those are generated.

CSS Thesis: sites, that's all should probably give itself credit for its little popularity counter deal, because I actually kinda like that feature.

If all you're looking for is pictures and links to well designed CSS sites, check out CSS Import for some hot no frills inspiration. No comments from site owners, no comments from site visitors, just links to sites and google text ads -- oh, and a resources section, don't miss that.

I'm not sure if this site actually counts as a showcase site since it only deals with specific details but nevertheless Devil's Details the web design weblog is pretty slick. Actually, it's really slick because not only does the site highlight good design it talks about why particular details make for good design. Great sites, great write-ups, excellent site.

Just added to the help pile's resources page: stylegala.com. Yet another CSS design showcase it joins the ranks of the CSS vault and CSS beauty. The site also boasts a resources section too, so be sure and check that out.

If you came here from google because you searched "best css" then this is the post for you because you need look no further than cssbeauty.com. This site highlights good look'n websites and it aint too shabby itself -- actually, it's quite my style and it will certainly get added to my scribble page in the esteemed 'Design I like' group I've created. Unlike my other favorite highlight site, The Weekly Standards, there's no well written introspection about the design, but there's comments.

If you've been paying attention, then you know this is yet another rip-off from dezwozhere's blog. I swear that guy must have a hundred rss feeds and be some kind of speed reader.

WeeklyStandards.com highlights non-blog websites that have been created with web standards. Like many gallery sites, The Weekly Standards is a great place to go for inspiration and general style-watching (code-watching, style-watching, tag-watching, CSS-watching? -- when you surf for examples of implementation -- if there's a better word, stick it in the comments). With an eye towards aesthetic, the site makes a point to highlight sites that show how CSS "pushes the boundaries even further while still allowing everyone to view the content because of smarter, more accessible XHTML".
