Web Review: July
You might have read the title and hoped I was talking about an excellent program that was hosted by Jason Bradbury late at night on ITV. But, I’m not. I’m actually just going to point myself, and anyone else who can bring themselves to read my blog, towards some websites I like. Predominantly, these will just be websites that have a pretty design, but I may feature some for less frivolous reasons. So, here are this months.
Web Dev/Design Firefox Extensions
ColorZilla
Use the eyedropper to pick the colour you’d like to steal from a website. Alternatively, get it to analyse and display all the colours used on a website and steal them that way.
Return of the Mack
Yeah, CeeFourBee is back and I’m still full of puns. For a few reasons, none of which I can be arsed to list, I stopped posting on my blog and then it disappeared for a while. But now I’ve come back with a new design, something that I’d been wanting to do for a while. Although, I did start it back in January this year, but my time became precious and I stopped. You can see the previous design in the above screenshot. Preserved for posterity.
<body> Modification
Last year there was a thread on OcUK (a forum I frequent) about modifying the default vBulletin theme that is used, changing it from blue to grey. The original idea and CSS was all the idea of Rob Miller. Since then, people have been adding bits to it and finding ways of doing it in both Firefox and Opera.
