The following checklist may be a bit too technical in some areas but for the most part if you follow half the advice on this list you already got much done.

I just came across Mike Nguyen's blog: http://rainplace.net/

I haven't had a chance to go back and read it all yet, but it seems to go very in depth on the intent of the principles rather than the techniques derived from those principles.

Well there are some techniques through which you can make your animation awesome :

* You can do craft an Animated Postcard.
* You have to create a realistic hover effect.
* You can also use scrolling background effect.
* Use multiple Animations with Glimmer.
* Stunning Sliding Door Effect
* You can make your header responses to mouse movements.

WHAAAATT!!!??? Is this spam or something? Some effect isn't going to make your animation awesome -- for that you need knowledge, talent, effort and determination. And a little bit of humility...
