For those of us who like great design, but have no idea where to start when it comes to colors:
http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html
Color schemer is an excellent resource for getting a whole color scheme together or even just for finding a lighter or darker version of a single color.
And here’s a nice page that helps with those pesky html color codes:
We call our podcast the EdutechNTE Podcast because both Edutech and the Centre NTE are involved in producing it. Initially it was displayed only in the blog hosted at the NTE website. We decided, however, to display it as well on the edutech.ch website, on its own podcast page.
How to have one feed live in two neighborhoods?
We were able to make use of a handy php library called MagpieRSS. It provides the functionality of parsing the feed into arrays so you can access the feed elements with simple array dereferences. The instructions provided by MagpieRSS are pretty straight forward, yet there were a couple of bumps that we got over with help elsewhere. In the end we gathered the necessary info and extra parts (flash player, for example) at these addresses:
Tech note: One mysterious glitch was the array dereference $item['pubdate'] instead of $item['pubDate'] – for some reason no caps ‘pubdate’ worked whereas ‘pubDate’ didn’t, even though that’s how it appears in the feed.
with Magpie RSS
and for help with dates, the workbench has some good tips
plus a patch to pick up enclosure tags, with instructions from schiller labs, nice
then a nice little flash player, the dewplayer, to play the mp3s pulled out of the enclosure tags
Could’t get an html page to print more than one page (it should be around 3 printed pages).
The problem seemed to be somewhere in the style sheet, so we added a separate style sheet for print formatting.
Removing position: absolute seems to solve the problem of printing only one page. The print.css adds the attribute visibility:hidden to several selectors (like navigation menus).
Real live example: edutech.ch

No, that’s not someone swearing, it’s an open source html editor that looks pretty interesting:
