The Credited & The Admired - These websites listed below are places where I found my images, scripts, brushes, and other resources from. Other are just websites that I really admired and enjoy visiting. I think you would find some of these places useful to visit. I would recommend all of them. :)

Image Resources (Anime, CG Artworks, Scans, Etc)

Anime-Genesis - These is where I used to get my anime images from before I learned to take screen captures of my own. They had a ton of high quality images there. However, the website has been shut down already.

Animegalleries.net - This website has a ton of anime images, seeing as it's probably one of the largest anime gallery online. I went here a few times, and they have a really nice selection of images. The loading is a bit slow though, so it might take awhile before you find the image you're looking for. Since they have so many, it's alot of go through, :)

Boyis.com - Although this is a great website with tons of beautiful, high quality CG artworks, I have to warn you about the advertisement pop ups. They can be considered as "hentai". I used to go here for CG artworks because it is the largest resource for CG artworks on the web. They have a large selection for you to chose from, despite of the slow loading as well.

Aethereality Gallery - Aethereality, the domain, is a wonderful graphic resource. Their gallery is just amazing as well. It contains tons of scans from artworks that I have never even heard of and is constantly updated. A really "must see" gallery if I do say so myself!

Html/Script Resources (Coding)

Lissa Explains - This is a wonderful website for all begining website owners! She has such nice well explained tutorial for all sort of coding level (beginners to experts). I have been revisiting this website for over five years now, ever since I first began building websites. Lissa Explains has all much small tips and hints to help recreate your website.

My Little Homepage - Despite of its strange domain name, Alex's scripts page is extremely helpful. His scripts are fun and easy to install. I have used one or two of them before, and they work great with barely any time required at all.

Signmyguestbook - I created my guestbook at this place, and it's probably over two years old, lol. I love how they let you customized everything from the layout to the look of each entry. The service they offer used to be free, but I think there is a small one time fee now if you want to register one of their guestbooks.

Phpjunkyard - This is where I got my click counter script from. From the script I used, I noticed that it doesn't take long to install and is very simple to understand. I will come back to look into more of their scripts.

Coppermine-Gallery - There is what I used to create Haru Haru Gallery, which held thousands of images. It is easy to manage and not too hard to install, but it is limited on how much you can customized. Nonetheless, I like how many functions it has, and it beats hand coding each image in.

PhpBB - There is where I got Haru Haru Forum from. I tested various types of forum creators, and I find that I like this company the most. They have a lot of style to chose from and the support service is really fast.

Cutenews - This is the script I installed for my update blog. It's very useful and allows you to change the template to your liking.

Graphic Resources (Brushes/Fonts/Etc.)

Tennya.net/pixels - I used to visit this website for my blinkies and icons. They have a nice selection of cute pixels to chose from, some of the best on the internet! It's too bad that the website owner no longer updates because I would really like to see more of their talent.

Tiny-Star - This place is where I got the smilies for my update blog, :) It offers a lot of cute pixels and other goodies!

Templates Resource - I never used one of their templates for my graphics before, however; I did read their template tutorial on find to make them a long while by when I first started to make buttons/avatars. I really like this website; they have such nice and unique template designs!

V Brush - I'm not sure if I used her brushes anywhere on the Haru Haru website, but I still enjoy visiting the website. She has a nice selection of brushes, well over 100. Her sets are interesting and creative, so if you're looking for new brushes to play with, I would drop by here.

Unknown Brushes - By far, one of the best and most well known brush resource website out there! I have been going there for years just to see what new sets they offer. There are just so many type that you can chose from!

Aethereality - I downloaded several of her texture brushes, and they are quite nice, :) Although her selection is smaller than those other brush websites, the sets she offers are very unique and interesting.

Daydreamgraphics - I'm sure almost every web designer has heard of this website before, lol. I really admire the amount of work put into this website, as it is the biggest pre-made layout resource website out there. If you have yet to visit this website, I encourage you to give it a try. There are scripts and other resources besides graphics there as well. :)
