CSS: Cheat Sheets & Sites for Cascading Style Sheets

A lot of folks see me with a laptop computer and figure I must be a tech guy (remember, I'm in Iowa). Of course, I smile real big and wonder if they suddenly think I'm also a dentist.

I'm not a tech guy. I'm just unafraid of technology (let's not talk about the dentist anymore, though). One reason I can be so brave with tech stuff and code is some of the tools available. Here are some I use to modify the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) of sites I work on.

CSS Cheat Sheets and Sites:

• Dynamic Drive CSS Library: I use this quite a bit for navigation on blog sites. I especially like the RSS Feed so I know when they add to the library. Copy & Paste the code.  Great stuff! (Don't miss their FavIcon Generator)
• MaxDesign's Listamatic: Another popular one for me - easy-to-use top nav code.
• Font Tester: Use the tool box on the right to set the font. If you like what you see in the text area - grab the code. Easy peasy!
• CSS Cheat Sheet: This is a true cheat sheet!  Print it out and put it somewhere findable. (Here's one for HTML)
• Color Converter: For when you only have RGB (220, 175, 0) and need HEX (#DCAF00)
• HTML Playground: Interactive, teach-yourself-how guide. 
• Web-Developer's Handbook: You thought I had a big blogroll?  Check out this library!

Of course, you could do like I often do - outsource it! PSD2HTML.

Those are a few tools I find useful. Remember, mistakes are tuition.

Oh, and if you see me washing my hands today...that doesn't make me a plumber:-)
