There’s a new shop in town

It’s summer time, and Baby, it’s hot out there! I was doing some browsing today and came across a gem of a store – with an even better idea, so I’m plugging it!

Over the years, I have had a few special tee-shirts that enjoyed buying, wearing, and then turning into pillows when they got too faded. But now, Spreadshirt promises that the logos are better, and with all of their designs, and the ability to create your own store, well, yours truly did just that. So far, there’s 151 items – Men’s, women’s, juniors, toddler and infant wear, plus a few more items, and the store will be updated daily with new logos, so keep an eye out for it! FYI, the store is called Tee-Time.

If you’re in need of tee-shirts, come on by. And if you’re looking for something special, ask and I’ll see what I can find.

Very funny – check it out.

HTML True Color Chart

Let’s face it, web pages can be pretty boring if they are all in black and white. Of course, you have to consider that many people online are color blind, or they may be epileptic, so sites should be created with them in mind as well. (You wouldn’t want to intentionally cause someone to have a seizure, would you?) Nix the flashy stuff, or better yet, have a separate link to a page prepared just for those people! In the meantime, here’s where you can get a Complete color chart for your site.
