Nov-Dec 1996 3 SItes still up and 2 moved to Honorable Mention. These were some of the first web design sites that caught our eyes and helped break the trend of an 'ugly' WWW. Some are gone, but amazingly, two of these are still updating content. Kudos to Core77 and Atlas Magazine as two of the 'mothers' of web design progress. Digitalthread has featured sites since September 1996. Updates are scheduled bi-monthly on the first of the month.
