CSS Gradients Tool

So…the past few years I’ve concentrated more on work & drawing than working on my website. (As noted by the fact WaM was coded/built by another person.) Well, I’ve recently come to realize that working with someone else’s code is a total pain. People organize/manage code differently and it’s comparable to suddenly being moved from your desk to someone else’s and being expected to know where they keep their hidden stash of extra staples. You’ll find it eventually, but it’s a lot of extra work to get there.

You probably wonder where this is going. The point – working on trying to build my own sites again, and to do that I have about 2 years worth of coding to catch up on. Whoo. *bashes head into desk* On the bright side – not as bad as I though. AND! There are lots of helpful tools and tutorials to help.

This one in particular is my new best friend – CSS Gradients are no longer my confusing enemy!

Fear Colorzilla’s Ultimate CSS Gradient Generator.

This has got to be the coolest web tool in existence. Completely customize the background gradient you want to use – and it spits out the code for all three standards & an IE back-up.

Brilliant.
