phpQuery and Views

the funny thing is, many tempalate engines mainly emulate php in their templates (cough, cough.. smarty) so if a designer can write {if $edit_flag} xhtml.. {/if}, you'd rightfully expect them to be able to write <?php if($edit_flag) { ?> xhtml... <?php } ?> conventions can be hard to break though.

I'm attracted to the {} syntax because it cleans up code, and more importantly at the moment, tinyMCE wont strip it like it does php tags, plus it can be passed around as strings from place to place without corrupting any php code that may be executing it.

yeah i do love phpclasses, but i can honestly say i would prolly spend more time there and discover more if it were a better user experience. As far as finding full fledged scripts for whatever you can think of tho, it's hard to beat.

as far as having no color sense, i wouldn't doubt yourself too much. many successful designs employ color schemes based on very basic color theory. it's worth a read at wkp.. there is so much else tho, composition, spacing, contrast, imagery font size etc.. I usually start with a basic color idea and work up from there. And if i need inspiration i'll search for good css designs or look at award sites like netdiver or thefwa.com
