Installing CommentLuv (via Intense Debate)

Hooray! I successfully installed CommentLuv via Intense Debate. I am still not sure if I want to use it on my "real" blogs, but at least I understand the process now. Honestly, it wasn't that difficult, but I wish I had more control over the appearance of the Intense Debate features on my blog. You can't have everything, right?

Here are the links I used:

CommentLuv/Intense Debate Installation tutorial

Honestly, I just used it to get me started. Intense Debate's installation process more or less acts as its own tutorial, and it is rather user-friendly.

Intense Debate Home Page

If you are fairly computer-savvy, skip the above tutorial and head to the home page. Click on the big green "sign-up" button and follow the on-screen directions. 

Color Converter

I like to have my color schemes "just so," but that can be difficult if you work in multiple design platforms (e.g. Blogger and Microsoft Publisher). Today, I discovered a color converter which translates RGB color codes to HEX color codes, and visa versa. So helpful!

Here is the Publisher color scheme it just helped me convert:

Red = #FF0000

Green = #92D400

Gold = #FFCC00

Blue = #A1EDFF

Gray = #848484
