Link-O-Rama!
March 14
This is Kenneth’s friend, Ray, filling in for him while he moves to Arkansas. As promised, here are a few links to help pass the time…
First off, a cool link called I Like Your Colors! that essentially looks through the CSS file of the website you specify and spits out the colors you’ve used on your site. The tool still needs some work I think, since it didn’t want to work for this site, yet it works for mine. Overall, quite handy if you’re the type to steal from others’ sites!
Next up is something that, if I attempted, I’d end up messaging Kenneth to get me out of some huge mess I created. It’s Compressing your CSS with PHP which can reduce the transfer size of the file up to 75%. While it’s only two steps, I’d probably get screwed up at about step one-and-a-half.
Here’s yet another link which seems handy enough. It’s a CSS trick called footerStick that does exactly as its name implies. It forces the footer of the webpage to stick to the bottom of the window.
Lastly, I’ve got a list of sites featuring free fonts that I seem to have bookmarked over the last few weeks. In famous award show style, here they are in no particular order:
* The Tim Burton Collective
* fontleech
* { Pixilate } Fonts
* Chank!
* Essential Fonts for Designers
There you have it. I hope you enjoy those links as much as I do.
