Colorful Gardens

我是个色彩的门外汉,没有这方面的专业知识,在网页的色彩搭配上,只是凭感觉,很多时候会惊艳于某些网站的色彩设计。而这篇主旨在园艺色彩的文章,却是给了我们很好的提示:我们其实可以从大自然或是身边的任何地方提取出色彩元素,应用于我们的设计中。园艺师们服装师们是先有色彩设计、再有我们看到的各色花草植物各色面料服饰,那我们就把他们的工作来个还原,用最简单的方式找到某种配色方案,也不失为一个不错的方法。

How To Monitor What Is Being Said About You Online

Author admin    Category Tools     Tags , , ,

文章标题怎么个起法,很有讲究。比如这篇,标题说的让你一定会点击进来瞧一瞧,其实看了就知道,这不过是一篇介绍文章订阅的那些个网站:比如我们最熟悉的google alert订阅器——输入我们关心的话题或人物,它就会定期自动将相关文章发到你指定的邮箱里。不过的确是换个角度让我们看内容,启发我们去发现不同的用法。

我好奇的是,这些订阅器网站,它们是靠什么盈利的呢?因为目前的阅读器上似乎并没有铺天盖地的广告。在网上又看到了抓虾要倒闭的消息。不过在尝试feedsky的时候,发现它有一个功能——话题营销,以前没注意过,不知道是不是新功能——就是博客主可以通过写有关广告主的文章来获利,这样看来,也终究是逃不了一个广告盈利模式了。

I recently wrote about how you can find out when someone searches Google for your name. If you are interested in who is looking for you and your general online reputation, you are probably equally interested in finding out what is being said about you online.

People could be spreading information about you or your business that you should rather be aware of. Rather than to regularly scan the search engines for results with your name, you can automate the process of monitoring your online reputation and be notified once there is a new entry containing your name. This will also work for any other subject that is of interest to you. read more

50 Brilliant CSS3/JavaScript Coding Techniques

Author admin    Category CSS     Tags , , ,

This great collection of CSS3 is from SmashingMagazine. Actually some articles already showed many times before, but here is just a roundup. I myself kept them here for later read or use.

CSS3 is coming. Although the browser support of CSS 3 is still very limited, many designers across the globe experiment with new powerful features of the language, using graceful degradation for users with older browsers and using the new possibilites of CSS3 for users with modern browsers. That’s a reasonable solution — after all it doesn’t make sense to avoid learning CSS3 (that will be heavily used in the future) only because these features are not supported yet. The point of this article is to give you a glimpse of what will be possible soon and what you will be using soon and provide you with an opportunity to learn about new CSS3 techniques and features. read more
