My pick of the bunch from last year’s 24 ways. Great use of animation can go a long way in modern browsers while still being accessible in older ones.

Isotope is a smart jQuery plugin for filtering content complete with animations, even using CSS3 transitions and transforms falling back to JavaScript for older browsers.
Progressive enhancement: Isotope’s animation engine takes advantage of the best browser features when available — CSS transitions and transforms, GPU acceleration — but will also fall back to JavaScript animation for lesser browsers.

An initiative to know the creators of the website.
A TXT file that contains the information about the different people who have contributed to the web building.

A great piece on improving the language of form buttons.
When users fill out a form, they are engag ing in a task. The action but ton should affirm what that task is, so that users know exactly what hap pens when they click that but ton. A but ton that describes the user’s task tells users that the form focuses on car ry ing out that spe cific task. The more focused your form is, the more likely you’ll get users to com plete your form.

Very nice use of CSS3.
