At the time I don’t think I realized that I was creating a “blog” – just making something that we needed (and I got to learn a lot about PHP and MySQL in the process).

In the meantime I had a new edition to my family and a transition from running my own web design company to working as a full-time employee at WebMD. Needless to say, I have been busy and the forums were not a high priority.

But finally the forums are back (and hopefully this will stem the many email questions I receive about my open-source projects).

This article describes how to take control of your colors in CSS using PHP. You will learn how to:

  • Centralize your color definitions using variables.
  • Separate presentation and content by refering to colors using abstract names such as base and highlight.
  • Automatically generate a color gradient from a single base color
  • Automatically adjust the contrast of foreground colors so they can viewed on top of your background colors
