Colour, color

April 10, 2008

You know what I’m sayin’

I am in the process of building the front page for this blog/website, and am looking at colours.
Site structure padding, margin div here, div there, takes some tweaking, but to fill a browser space with the right balance of colours and graphics, font spacing type (another story) that takes real talent. Have you the eye. It is in your head, but can you reproduce it. You can cast around for inspiration, steal a glimpse of background image; you can check out the source code, but can you build it, can you put it together?

I came across this site on css mania delightful looking site, note there are loads and is worth having a look.
I could take it apart and rebuild it, but could I have conceived it, that is the question.
It is often said about great guitar solos, yeah it’s easy. To Learn maybe, but to originate.. Another story.

Anyway I’m looking at pastels, and I’m going to throw a link in here for a colour, color generator.
Check it out.

Turn your photos into stunning slideshow presentations

April 8, 2008

Exhibit your photos

If you have all your prized photos stored on your pc and would like to showcase them look no further.

See Example: here and here:

With all the resources todays internet users have to hand it becomes a simple job to bring your photos to life on screen for all to see.

nice

If you are publishing to a website why not try the google picasa download.
This application will basically find all the images on your pc and organize them into folders for you.

Once there it is a simple matter for picasa to build the html template add the necessary touches of code magic, ie javascript, or flash depending on template thus creating a folder ready to upload to your server space.

There is a growing number of free templates to use from developer paul van roekel and the instillation once you have picasa is also v.easy.

A note from his site:
How to install?

Extract the contents of the zip file to the directory \Program Files\Picasa 2\web\templates\. It’s important to place the contents of the zip file in it’s own separate folder! Start Picasa and select the images you want to export and then click Folder > Export as Webpage.
Thats all there is to it. Have fun.
