Now this is interesting. A guy at MIT did a survey of bloggers.

Here we report the findings from an online survey conducted between January 14th and January 21st, 2004. During that time, 486 respondents answered questions about their blogging practices and their expectations of privacy and accountability for the entries they publish online

Color Schemer allows you to test color combinations, and will suggest several based on the RGB or hex code you select, too. Both were very helpful.
Mom saw a comic strip this morning which prompted this thought: Wouldn’t it be nice if you heard an option at the end of a voice mail system which said “If you plan to remain our customer, press 9?”
