The @page Rule Helps with Printing

When you're working on creating a print style sheet, you should be aware of the @page rule to help you provide specific styles for the pages. Just be sure to test any CSS you add to print style sheets with the @page rule, as many browsers still don't have good support for it.

Web Design Software Pick of the Week: ColorBlender

ColorBlender
Finding color palettes can be a lot of fun, and with this tool you can create a palette and then email it to someone else to have them modify it. You can choose each color in the palette directly or have the tool give you a "blend" based on a color you start with.

Poll: Have you ever used a CSS framework?

CSS frameworks are a tool for Web designers and developers to create websites quickly without needing to "reinvent the wheel". They provide things like layout structures, user interface elements, typography and more. Have you ever used one? Which one(s) have you tried? What did you like about it or not like?

Link Love - Color

Color is something that most Web designers obsess over. We have tons of color apps to help us pick colors, follow pages of color ideas, and even read articles on color theory like they are the latest best-seller. Here are some links I found this week that are about using color in Web design. If you know of other good color resources, let us know in the comments.

Project Managers Can Be Useful, But They Can Also Be Annoying

Last week I posted about some of the many ways that Web designers and Web developers can get on each others nerves. I then received a couple comments saying that that was what Project Managers were for - to make sure that the team members communicate. Well, I'm not arguing that point, but it made me start thinking about project managers - and if there's one thing that will make feuding designers and developers band together, it's in their hatred of Project Managers. :-) I have worked on many projects that wouldn't have been completed without the PM, but I have also been on many projects that were desperately hindered by the PM. And even good PMs have annoying tendencies. You might even argue that that's what makes them a good PM.

Web Design Software Pick of the Week: Font-Stack-Tester

Font-Stack-Tester
When you create a font stack, you are creating a fallback system for your customers. If they don't have the first font, the page will display with the second, and so on. But most designers don't test their pages looking at the alternate fonts, and this can cause problems with some designs. The challenge is that it can be tedious to view and remove all your fonts one at a time to do testing on them. And there aren't a lot of alternatives to doing that. But this script can help. The Font-Stack-Tester scans your CSS and puts an overlay on the page to allow you to remove the fonts manually. It's still in beta stages, and eventually it will be a bookmarklet, but right now it's pretty neat if you want to put the JS scripts into your pages for testing.
