Any web designer who is honest will tell you that a huge portion of learning how to create webpages comes from looking at, and dare we say, stealing, code from other web sites and web designers. That's the way it's always been in the web design world. At Obsidian Cliff, we don't see any reason to betray our roots. In fact, we're taking it in the exact opposite direction. Not only do we not hide our code behind a locked door, we actually give it away in the hopes that it inspires, teaches, or otherwise proves useful to someone out there trying to become a better designer.

So in the spirit of sharing that was ingraned in us all by our mothers (or maybe just as a deperate grasp to secure some good karma), we've posted a few of our most recent projects for anyone who wants them. Some of the projects are useful scripts meant to automate tedious tasks like creating breadcrumbs and maintaining your sitemap. Some of them, like the Japanese flash cards, are just fun diversions (educational though they may be). All are functional. Few are flawless. But most important, they're all here for you to dig through like a kid looking for the last green m&m® in the bag.

Bottom line ... here's some free stuff, check it out!

Okay ... so there's only one project up right now. But there will be more soon. No seriously. Promise.
