I found the WordPress Theme Generator that lets you build your own WordPress theme on the fly. Great ideas at work!

If you’re using Firefox, then get the Adblock Plus plugin!

I found this post on web fonts and embedded fonts very illuminating. It illustrates the various browser issues that web surfers and designers have to deal with on a daily basis.

Meanwhile, RichardandMeghan.com is up and running. Take a look! More work ahead. At the moment, I’m exploring ways of embedding live video chat/conferencing on the site, but it appears that free options are limited. I found some net info on the subject, but I was hoping to use an existing platform like Yahoo Messenger to host video chat directly on the blog. Doesn’t look like there are any ways to embed YIM’s webcam into a site yet.

Trying to hunt down a footer alignment issue in the Wolfextreme theme led me to use this full-featured Firefox plugin called Web Developer. I am enjoying exploring all the different options to inspect web design elements without necessarily scanning through hundreds of lines of code. Highly recommended!

It’s been a frustrating road trying to switch style sheets for different categories, but a very helpful post at Blue J Weblog has gotten me closer to accomplishing this goal. I basically have to insert a conditional in order to detect the category, then implement a different style sheet. I also grabbed some ideas from a post at the WordPress.org support forums about this same issue.

There are still a few bugs I’m trying to work out.

Meanwhile, I am happy to have found a web based color picker at ColorSchemer.com. It has made finding colors by hex code a lot easier to match.
