Weekend linkage

Just a few, since I’m so far behind on my reading (down to 425 unread items!) and I just posted a set on Friday. Enjoy.

• How to Help Your Kids Build $25,000 Stock Portfolios – This is a tempting idea even with regards to something like weddings. "Help us retire together without having to eat pork-n-beans." …Naw, that doesn't work as well as with kids.
• 18 Five-Minute Decluttering Tips to Start Conquering Your Mess | zen habits – Since I haven't dedicated a full weekend to clearing out junk in a while, stumbling across this article was quite nice. Baby steps.
• Designing Microsites: Factors To Consider – Again, this is nicely relevant to the Character Sheet Manager project.
• Minimalism in Web Design: A Guide – I really like the tips here. I haven't started seriously approaching the (unauthenticated) public-facing design of the Character Sheet Manager, but since the site has such a singular focus, I'll be taking a minimalist approach to keep things clean and easy.
