Will Larson wrote this great article on how to use Django to create those web pages you happily used to do when all you knew was HTML.

Until about an year ago, I was using PHP for these static web pages.
The idea was to have just one base index.php and include files by usage of GET to retrieve the PHP files. It was a basic but helpful automation.

The way Will teach you with Django and a basic Python script is much more useful as it abstracts a bunch of stuff.

Give it a try!

Erik Holscher has a blog filled with Django interesting stuff that can be really useful if you wanna step in the Django world or just keep up to date with Django’s nice add-ons.
He’s also making screencasts presenting some of these feature.

Here’s his latest screencast about Django’s command extensions:

As [among many things ] a web designer/programmer, I need to know about colors! I need to choose main colors, keep with them until the project is finished, etc!
When doing the design you can just use GIMP’s color chooser but when coding, you sometimes need to test which color fits better.

I recently found gcolor2 (by Justin Spadea), a simple and useful tool for people who need to get/check/test colors without having to start GIMP.

gcolor will allow you to pick any color you’re seeing on your screen with an eyedropper or to choose colors from a GTK color wheel. Also, you can store colors for later usage and check the already saved colors with fancy names

This is one of those little tools that make your life easier!
Thanks Justin.
