More on Facebook Connect

December 22nd, 2009 Mike Walsh Comments off

Today I spent some more time working with the Facebook Connect plugin. It pretty much works as adverized. Using the wp_meta hook I was able to displY the Facebook login status on the Meta widget.

With a little bit of styling it looks well integrated with the theme I am using. You can see the it in action on the CASL Shocks web site.

What happened to ColorBlender.com?

September 1st, 2009 Mike Walsh Comments off

Another one of the resources I use seems to have crapped out.  ColorBlender.com is still online but the site doesn’t work any more.  It is still possible to browse through some of the old palettes but it isn’t possible to create a new one.  I liked ColorBlender, it came up with some nice color schemes and was easy to  use.

Since it wasn’t working, I went in search for a replacement and found a couple interesting sites.

Of the three, I like the Color Match Remix Color Scheme Tool the best.  For a color neophyte like myself, these sort of resources are really useful.

Another resource I refer to pretty frequently is the Elementik’s Web design tools and resources I use page.  This page has links to all sorts of cool Javascript solutions, CSS tricks, color design resources, and more.
