Graphics
most of my like decorative graphics are from tumblr or archived accounts.
for favicons I usually get them from tumblr. If youre making your website theme around a character theres going to be alot of graphics there.
some keywords are rentry/carrd resources, (character name) graphics, png,and theres proabbly more.
Pixel Safari - has dividers, favisons, stamps, buttons, user boxes, text icons, ect...
Blumchen Resources
Foollovers - Has layouts, really cute repeated bgs, menu buttons, icons, probably more.
Learning
Honestly how I improved that much in less than is
studying code.
NOT stealing code. Yes I have taken people's code before but I no longer do and i advise strongly against it. I recommend using the inspect tool to see how they did thing, if their code isn't clear google it. Don't just take it.
Unless somebody has stated that you can take their code don't do it. And don't just use their code without credit.
anyways some places that i learned from are
Stack overflow - I kinda just read the comments and figure it out myself, stack overflow people can be mean so..
Repth Layouts - How I learned how to advance in css/html is by their layouts. My first few months heavily relied on them.
me as a person i don't learn from reading, its hard for me... I like studying code more! Find what works for you!
