This being a new blog for me I am still sprucing up the design here and there. I wanted to give some interest to the background rather than just a blank white. So I decided I would tile some stripes for the back ground, but I could not make it to easy for myself so horizontal or vertical stripes were out. I set to work and after about half an hour I figured out how to do a fairly good stripe repeat tile. The stripes were tilted 45 degrees and were not the exact shade and color I was looking for, and I thought the exact 45 degree angle was not exactly what I was after either. So I hoped on google and searched for some stripe tile tutorials. That is when I came across my saving grace www.stripegenerator.com. Up until then I had been killing myself calculating numbers of stripes, angles, and a good half page of math, but all that changed when I found the stripe generator. The ease of use this web application has is fantastic. It keeps what should be a simple thing to accomplish, to being a simple thing to accomplish. I would just like to thank them for saving me a good couple hours of work, and countless hours of future work.
