Correction:

Love to JZ.

The original collection was at donimo.f2s.com
[http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://donimo.f2s.com]

The idea for the collection began at the Coders Forum at Zelman.com from a suggestion by Stephanie Booth. http://climbtothestars.org/

I took the idea and ran with it for a year. Squatters picked up the domain when I could no longer maintain it. Thanks to Meryl it lived on.

CSS Collection got its own domain in 2005, but it was started long before that by Donimo Shriver of Web Nouveau, then it went to meryl.net/css when web nouveau lost its domain and then setting up CSSCollection.com.

It was on my site by 2002 as you can see here:

I could not find domino’s original collecton on the wayback machine. But it was definitely up in 2002 before Zen Garden.

highfive.com, the first web design gallery site by David Siegel. Inspiring for a site established in the mid 90s. R.I.P.

According to archive.org (which is pretty accurate) here’s the right order:

styleboost.com – feb 2001
csszengarden.com – may 2003
cssvault.com – Jan 2004
w3csites.com – Mar 2004
cssbeauty.com – May 2004
unmatchedstyle.com Jul 2004
cssdrive.com – Sep 2004
cssmania.com – Sep 2004
csscollection.com – Sep 2005

Fazal is right though, linkdup is probably one of the oldest dated Jun 2000.
