So, does anyone have any suggestions for colours / layouts? If you find something nice, please post a link. I'm not going to make the site all pink, but other than that things are pretty open. Hell, I will consider pink if it looks nice enough. Just don't bother linking to those "worse web sites" as a joke... there are enough of them out there without people meaning for them to be a joke.
Anyone have a fav. css editor? I think that I have an older copy of dreamweaver around here somewhere, but I'd have to install it. I'm just wondering if it's worth my time using something other than textpad.

Why not all pink? I could find you a nice colour scheme using different shades, from cotton candy to dusty rose to fushia ... it'll be fun! :)
ReplyDeleteAhem. As for changing the look, what about doing a couple different style sheets, post links to them and then have a vote? Be all democratic-like.
Opening up a can of worms here, Jim! Once I start fucking with my stylesheet I can't stop!! haha ... have fun!
ReplyDeleteIn case Karen was unaware, for guys, they're all pink, we really don't distinguish between shades.
ReplyDeleteAlso, as far a textpad goes, there's really no reason to use anything more than vi
hahaha... vi is okay if you're using *nix, but I'm pretty must always on windows.
ReplyDeleteFor a tool I was thinking of something that would show me what I was doing *while* I was actually doing it. In any text editor, you'd have to save, switch to a browser, hit reload (3 steps).
One good thing about messing around with my style sheet is that I'd get to know more css... right now I know "enough to get by", but it's sort of like shooting in the dark: hit or miss. Maybe I'll pick up an O'R. book.
Sounds like you want Dreamweaver Jim.
ReplyDeleteI still use it when I'm doing site mock-ups or brainstorming..
I won't use it for actual layout code, but in terms of having a very fancy sketchpad, it works great.
I think that I have a copy of Dreamweaver kicking around...
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you want to use it for "actual layout code"?
Because all of my layout code (headers, footers sidebars etc) is done via php include files. I know that dreamweaver can be setup to parse php code and everything, but I just can't be bothered to learn how to do it..
ReplyDeleteAnd given the fact that I only end up using Dreamweaver a couple of times a year I figure it's safer to keep the production and dev 'code' (ha!) separate...
