Thanks for this, by the way! I'm trying to get back into making a decent layout only to remember that I've forgotten where all of my resources are.

Great resource list!

Though Dodo's Scripts was last updated in 2008, it might be unsafe to use any.

This reminds me of a post I bookmarked a while ago: list of unsafe scripts. Although old, some scripts listed there are still around so it may be useful to check if the script you are planning to use is on the list.

Hey, dubs! I have another lesser-known resource!

http://scr.im/

It gives you a URL to link on your sites as your e-mail address, and will only show visitors your e-mail address after they identify a captcha image. Spam protection!
