I build sites for the government and sticking to sites in the same "industry" or same subject matter, would makes some very uninteresting sites. I tend to take nodes of inspiration (see http://www.cameronmoll.com/archives/000016.html for the rundown on nodes of inspiration) from a wide variety of sources, personal blogs, CSS Zen garden and almost everywhere else except other Gov sites. > May I ask what sort of "design books" you use for inspiration?

The book that has influenced me the most in how I "design" sites is Magazine Design That Works: Secrets for Successful Magazine Design by Stacey King, Rockport Publishers. Probably for two reasons: 1. It taught me a lot about grid theory (not being a traditional designer) 2. It mad me think about how to present the information in the best structre.
