ASP.NET 2.0 Design Templates Are Available

After I wrote my last blog post I did a search for ASP.NET design sites and found an old set of design templates on MSDN. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/asp.net/aa336602.aspx This appears to be a special section of MSDN that Microsoft created for designers who will be working with ASP.NET 2.0. I also found an old blog post from July 2005 which seems to be about this Dev Center for designers: http://blogs.msdn.com/bgold/archive/2005/07/15/439299.aspx Unfortunately I get the impression that this project didn't attract much interest or continue beyond its initial effort. For instance, there is a dead link for Building ASP.NET 2.0 Web Sites Using Web Standards. However, there are several design templates for you to download and examine. This resource seems to be all but forgotten. It was not mentioned in the Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Design: CSS, Themes, and Master Pages book I read or linked to on the official Starter Kit web page so I thought I'd draw attention to it here.
