I’ve got a few resources I use on a day to day basis for web-design, personal projects, etc. I thought I would share a few of them here today:

DeGraeve.com hosts a color palette generator that’s useful for designing a page layout around a particular image. The palette generator breaks down the image into 10 or so of the most prolific colors and makes it easy to coordinate a layout.

Alertra.com is an uptime monitoring company and their spotcheck tool will tell you how fast your website is loading from multiple locations. Their pay service is worthwhile as well, and not that expensive

4webhelp.net offers a convenient .htpasswd encryption tool that I use to encrypt user passwords. When I use the tool, I normally just enter “test” in the Name field.

Feedburner.com is a good resource for developing your RSS readership. They offer some good tracking tools as well as some other features to help you get the most out of your feed.
