Web Site color calculators
Web DesignI'll be the first to admit that I'm not creative at all. My wife practically has to dress me in the mornings... I really have no eye for colors at all. In an effort to make my web site colors “pretty”, I had to find something to help me with the colors.
Of course, when designing web pages, colors aren't as simple as just Red, White or blue. You've got to know the either the HEX, RGB, or HSV values to really get the colors you want. CSS does allow for general colors to be named, but how many of you use just the general colors?
I found a couple of web sites that are helpful when picking colors or color schemes for web pages.

Fell free to add to the list if you have other you like.

I'm running naked today...
Web DesignI removed all the CSS from my Spot today, just playing around, but it's kinda cool. Kinda reminds me of the vintage Internet days. Lots of text with one or two pictures....
I think I'll run naked (css-less) for a day, unless it'll cause a problem with Instantspot. Dave or Aaron?
Dressing my spot up...
Web DesignI have a little bit of time today, so I thought I would dress my spot up a bit. I finally got a headshot added. It was amazingly hard to find a current pic of myself. As I look thru the gigs of pictures I have, most of the pics are of my kids. Anyway. As I'm looking for ways to make my spot a bit more friendly, I found myself looking for some good header pics. I really didn't find to many, but it got me to thinking about stock photographs used on web pages. I found one good "free" stock photo site: http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml. I'm curious though, do any of you fellow spotted people or bloggers out there have any good "free" stock photo site you like and would share with the group?
I'm going to hopefully use some of the Style Manager features this afternoon, so keep an eye out. I'm not creative at all, so my spot may become very ugly very soon. LOL
Thanks,
Mark
