Utility to get the html code of a color

Ogni tanto ho bisogno di sapere quale sia il codice html di quel determinato sfondo, o di quel link che potrebbe integrarsi, for example, con il layout del sito.

Tuttavia l’unica soluzione che ho sempre utilizzato sotto Windows, non era molto efficiente…
Si trattava di usare il tasto STAMP per salvare una screenshoot, importarla in Photoshop, e usare lo strumento contagocce per rilevare il colore della zona desiderata… insomma una follia!

In such cases can come in handy and help a small utility that does not even need installation: HTML color picker.

HOWTO : positioning an image (and its hover) at will on a site

in webdesign, Web 2.0 & SEO | | 7 Comments » | Last modified:

help

Few days ago, As someone has noted, I put it in the blog and in other parts of the site, an icon shaped house, positioned in the upper left.

Creed (and I hope!) it is clear that indicate the possibility, clicking on it, return to home page.

Because it would be a folly to place the image on every page, I thought I'd put it once, in a file that is included with the command in php include.
So, using a file that is always included on all pages (as the header on the blog, and the file menu.php the left, in all other parts of the site), icon will appear on all pages easily.

However, the problem remains to understand how to place an image in a manner somewhat more refined the simple img, that would only place the image in the place where you use the img tag. But how to place the image into a position at will, perhaps where you can not use the img tag, complete with image hover?

Audacious 3 and later compiled and released (.deb) in my repository

in Ubuntu | | 3 Comments » | Last modified:

update: October 2013: From today, the latest version of Audacious available via GIT (to date, 3.5-devel), has just been completed on Ubuntu 13.10 and released, as usual, in repository.

The day before yesterday, I learn to this address, that after many months when the project seemed to have been permanently abandoned, due to the lack of updates, the developer of the multimedia player Audacious has just released a first alpha of the new version 2.0.

Audacious took a few years the witness of what was one of the oldest media players for Linux, xmms , copying the graphical interface and compatibility with Winamp skins.
Also, Unlike programs heavier and more complicated as Amarok, Audacious works out-of-the-box and do not need any special settings, especially if you use a compiled version with almost all plugins, that ensures the certainty of being able to play virtually any type of audio file.
More information is available on Audacious Wikipedia.

Playing your music keyboard with your computer : part 2

I see that the previous article on the subject has generated several visits from google and from external sites or aggregators rss, obviously a sign that the topic has affected, even if the main purpose of that post was to show an old piano for Commodore 64 and not an emulator piano more modern.

Taking a look in my favorites, Music folder, between a vst and a score I caught these two additional web applications, that allow you to play interactively with your computer.

The first application, as well as that of the previous post, again has to do with the piano, However, even if using a method very… particular to make sounds.

The 31 fundamental lessons to improve your blog

As I wrote in this article (well, good, to :P), is not very difficult to create a blog, the, even better, iscirversi to wordpress, blogspot and the like, and spare yourself the trouble of installing and configuring a blogging platform.

After some time, if the contents are not interesting, if the search engines do not know the existence of your items owing to poor optimization (No SEO? No party), be easy to drop everything (also because no written commitment was made 🙂 ).
Certainly need to create a layout is clean and does not fill the page of banners or windows java, that will only scare away a visitor, in addition to writing quality content (if something has already been written elsewhere, before, on a page with a PageRank higher than your site, why google should show before your result, or why a user should read YOUR news?).

Then I come to know that from alverde.net, from April 1 to May 1… …Read the rest »
