Picking Colors

Filed under Web

When doing any kind of web design the hardest thing for me to do is decide on the colors to use. I tend to fall into my typical color schemes, most specifically the navy and red of the Red Sox. However, I’ve now got a new (to me) tool in my toolbox. I was working on a new Wordpress theme, and going through my color troubles when my wife sent me the link to ColorCombos.com. At present they have 212 color pallet combinations, complete with the HEX codes for implementing these colors online. My job at picking colors just got a whole lot easier!

Shortcuts

Filed under Mac, Windows

Found this today. This official list shows a ton of shortcut keystrokes that you can use in Mac OS X to do specific tasks. I also found this for those who are using Windows XP. Shortcut love all around.

Analyze Your Blog

Filed under Plugins, Wordpress

Since I think most readers of this blog also blog with Wordpress, I pass along this plugin to you. This plugin places statistics from Google Analytics and Feedburner into your blog’s administrative panel. I always forget to go out and look at those sites for my stats, but now I can get them quickly and easily just by logging into my blog.

If you don’t already have accounts setup with Google or Feedburner, check those services out.  Both services are free and easy to setup.

On this day, as we honor our fathers, might this be what you should have given your dad and not that tie?

Small Town Politics = Major Headache

Filed under Grown Up Stuff

This website has started generating some media attention. Having bought a house a few miles down the road from work in a cheaper housing market I don’t look forward to “getting” to pay a $1.75 toll every time I drive to work — a whole whopping 4 miles — then $1.75 to drive home. *sigh*
