kittens – TLB Entries https://archive.tiffanyb.net Musings on cooking, travel, social media, higher ed & web technology by Tiffany Broadbent Beker Tue, 28 Jun 2016 20:58:14 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.7 Image placeholders for your website mockups https://archive.tiffanyb.net/2011/04/11/image-placeholders-for-your-website-mockups/ Mon, 11 Apr 2011 20:31:12 +0000 http://techblog.tiffanybroadbent.com/?p=58 This is a nice way to ease into the week (courtesy of an afternoon article in NetTuts+). Rather than using boring solid-color boxes as placeholders in your website mockups here are two (cute!) alternatives: placekitten (my personal preference) and PlaceDog. For either one you just put your image dimensions (width & height in pixels) after their URL and you’ll get a placeholder image (so something like: http://placekitten.com/200/160)

Or for a slightly more serious version, you can pull themed images (based on tags) from Flickr with flickholdr.com
