fotologue

Do you like what flickr was designed to do, but hate it's doctor's office interface?

Check out fotologue, a japanese website (with an English interface!) that takes flickr and injects a W Hotel-like sense of style.

More color help

Jason Pearce introduced me to this website that offers more unique color options.

Greeking Generator

Looking for some of that fancy "greeking" text to put your layout as a copy place holder? Try the Lorem Ipsum Greeking Generator.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
