There are dozens of Lightbox scripts out there to create galleries of 
all sorts. Which is right for you? It can be hard to know but here’s a great website that lets you compare about 50 of the most popular. You can even sort them by features (can show video, can show image sets, etc)
This site gives you the value of a website by measuring a variety of statistics like incoming links, social bookmarks and traffic. Although these kind of tools would never be how a buyer would value a website they do give you an idea of how sites compare to each other in value.

Free online Flash menu generator. There are a variety of styles to choose from (All animated) Choose colours, design style then once you’ve entered all your button names and links all you have to do is copy and paste the Flash code into your web page.

For an animated top menu bar generator look no further than here:
Bannersnack gives you a configurable template style tool to create animated Flash banners. The free versions are watermarked though a fee of $9 will remove it. That’s considerably cheaper than hiring a Flash designer. If you have the money, a good designer will always outperform a free service like this, but if you are on a tight budget this may be a great option for you.
Build a Flash website online for free, and with free hosting. I wouldn’t place my online business here but I would consider it for a quick event site for example, or a demo site, or quick gallery/portfolio site, or…etc.
No knowledge of Flash is needed and the user interface seems quite sophisticated. Your free account includes:
You can upgrade to the premium service for features like 2 gigs of web space, unlimited pages, domain name and more, but at $20 to $30 per month it will be hard to justify unless you really have no other way to create a website (or have no knowledge of Flash)
Still, the free version could be just what you need for a quick flashy Flash site.
Free Flash Templates. Registration required. Also has some free vectors, tutorials and logos. Not a lot here but some useful templates.
If you are a fan of Google Analytics you will flip over nuconomy. While Google Analytics gives you all types of drillable data about who came from where, what they clicked on, and how long they stayed, nuconomy gives you that and more (and for free…for now)
In the image above you will see a graph of how many viewers watched a particular online video, and for how long. You can tell if people dropped off at a particular moment in the video, how many people watched it all the way through, how many fast forwarded and the list goes on.
And that’s just one example. You can get data about how Flash, Java and other scripted elements are viewed as well as all the usual data…what country visitors came from, what pages they viewed, where they entered and exited, etc. etc. If you are interested I highly recommend that you sign up now before the beta registration closes. The one caveat I should mention is that it is a bit more complicated to install than Google Analytics, but they claim that even a large website can be done in about an hour.
For bloggers, though I haven’t tried it, there is apparently a plugin (widget?) version for WordPress that can be installed in seconds.
