When I opened up my custom Google home page this morning I noticed that one of the most popular del.icio.us links for today was a guide to creating a block hover effect for a list of links. This sounded cool -- basically, a neater-looking alternative to links that simply change colour when you mouse over them -- so I checked it out.

And what does this popular page turn out to be? A tribute to the brilliant work that NetSquared's designer, Veerle Pieters, has done in redesigning her own blog. So brilliant, in fact, that somebody went to the trouble of documenting exactly how she accomplished her link rollover effect.

So major kudos to Veerle! It's quite an achievement to make it onto the del.icio.us list of popular links  -- so much so that people actually offer tips on how to get your website on to that list.

And for those of you who don't keep track of the del.icio.us popular list, it's actually a very easy and useful way to keep an eye on emerging web trends and new, useful resources. Check it out.
