2CreateAWebsite is one of our favorite blogs, and this morning I finally had the opportunity to play catchup; I’m glad I did!

Have you ever been on a website or blog and wondered, “What in the world is that particular color?”

ColorZilla makes it easy as pie to hover over any color on any webpage and find the exact “ingredients” that make up that particular color.

“With this handy Firefox add-on, you can use the eyedropper tool to hover over any color in your browser and it will display the hex color code.”

After I added it to my Firefox browser, it shows up in the lower right hand corner.

For those truly interested in getting “just the right color,” and keeping in mind that even after you do, it really does all depend on the graphics card and monitor your visitor is using, ColorZilla is the way to go.

There’s even help/documentation files on their website to help you get the most out of using this new color picker addon.

Below, we’ve inserted a video that will give you complete and meaningful instructions on how to choose the right blogs to comment on, why, and the tools to set this all up to make your life a whole lot easier (and all the tools are free). (more…)

If you’re out today shopping and facing the “black Friday” crowd, all the best to you; however, if you wait, apparently come Monday you’ll be able to find a ton of even better bargains online. (more…)
