A Slight Change with Wordpress Comment Plugins
August 17th, 2006

I was reading Todd Malicoat’s Blog this morning, How a Best Posts Page Will Increase Your Blog Subscribers and he explained how a Blogger could write so many different types of blog posts. With the way Blogs work a new reader could come to your Blog just when you’ve written something less then stellar thus a new visitor may not feel the Blog is worthy of a second visit.
Todd recommended the idea of putting some of the best Blogs written in a place which would allow new visitors to see what’s been going on in the past without making them hunt around for it.
I thought this was an excellent idea and I have made some cosmetic changes to the layout of my Blog with the addition of the “Get Recent Comments” and “Most Commented Posts” Wordpress plug-ins. You can see this new change by looking to the right of this post, in the middle column.
I’ve been messing around with these plugins and now I have some color issues to contend with. I like how the two columns work with each other on the right side of this Blog but the hyperlink colors seem off to me. Perhaps someone with a good eye can send me some color ideas. Even better if someone could send me some CSS style code #’s.
Currently this is what I am using:
#sidebar a {
color: #DC5E04;
}#sidebar2 a {
color: #0875F0;
}
Also, I am interested in your feedback if you like the new look.

Hey, thanks for the mention and the blogroll add man.
There’s a real handy firefox plugin called editcss that allows you to edit css right in your browser

This is a nice tool for generating color schemes:

no doubt - maybe ask the person that dresses you. They seem to have some taste
