Spam Attack!
December 30th, 2006

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the gap in writing but I’m sure you know how the holidays are. CRAZY! Just yesterday we finished our Christmas visiting and are getting ready for the big 07. It’s unbelieveable how fast this year went by.

Over the past week or so I’ve received a serious spam assault on the site. I’m guessing it’s because of the lack of inactivity. I’m thinking that these spam bots find blogs that don’t seem to be active and then assault them with spam thinking that they won’t be moderated.

I just finished marking 69 — no I didn’t just come up with that number for fun — comments as spam.

Well, I hope to be getting back in the swing of things so keep an eye out.

Here is a great new Firefox plug-in called Palette Grabber. Developed by Konstantine Prevas, Palette Grabber creates a color palette that is based on the color scheme of the current page you are viewing.

This is great if you have a client who likes the color scheme of a certain site, or if you like the scheme yourself. The color palette that you get can be compatible with Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, GIMP, or Flash.

CSS Cheat Sheet
December 22nd, 2006

Here is a great CSS Cheat Sheet. Covers a great deal including general properties, font and text, position, box model, and others. What I like about this CSS Cheat Sheet is that the properties for each selector are in the order they should appear when using shorthand notation.
