Picking the right colors for web design can be hard at times. I know I’ve ran in to those days where any color I pick just don’t work with each other. Or I just ran out of inspiration and really didn’t feel like creating another blue or black themed web site. So I go online like most people and start searching the web for great ideas.

As I go through zillions of site with titles like ” Top site for color inspiration” or ” Picking colors the award wining way” I’ve noticed one thing they all use the same colors “blue, white, black” (yes yes black and white is not a color” but I’m sure you get the point). Any hoot enough of my ramblings and time for the meat.

So here my tip on trying to use different colors. Try using the color explore from Behr, Benjamin Moor, or whatever paint matching application you can find online and start picking some colors. What I like about these applications is that they pick some nice accent colors where you can start working with to generate your overall web theme. Another bonus is that the colors that are generated are nice and soft and easy on the eyes.

Well I hope you all give this a try. With some minor tweaks and adjustment you’ve got a great start on your next web site that is not blue.

So after an hour of pulling my hair out wondering why my image won’t display on my categories page. My theme had set my Categories or Archive page to display in summery mode. To change this or any of your page from summery mode back to a regular post. You have to find the code.
“the_excerpt” change to “the_content” to display the full article.

In my case I found it in the “archive.php”
