That early 2000s CSS/design blogosphere was such an interesting place; I was just in high school at the time but loved following Dave Shea, Andy Budd, Doug Bowman, Shaun Inman, Mike Davidson, and probably a whole bunch more I'm forgetting now.

All those guys. Also, the daily visits to lnkedup.com k10k.net, designiskinky.com, newstoday.com were so influential and informative to me (wow, just did an archive.org lookup of some of those and got a nostalgic chill - https://web.archive.org/web/20050303092717if_/http://www.lin...).
K10k! “Newstoday” - Miss that jingle!
Made a friend on k10k back in, maybe 2001, still friends. Texted her a few days ago. Never met yet.
There was also this guy, don't remember his name, whom you could email your questions/issues etc, reply with great detail and post the discussion on his website for others to learn from. Like a one on one precursor to stackoverflow.
I remember email him and asking about why my photo gallery didn't work when I tried to save the "currently selected image" as a cookie. He replied and explained to me that cookies contain string values and that you can't save a reference to a DOM element as a cookie. So, cookie = document.getElementById('image0') will not work, but cookie = 'image0' will :)
A group who never seem to be mentioned in these threads are Jason Arber, Richard May and Rina Cheung. Pixelsurgeon was enormously influential in its day.
I remember Shaun Inman, did he do Mint?
Yeah, the website stats thing; I was a paid user of it heh.
