One thing that became immediately apparent to me is that you need to include an alternative to scrolling (perhaps +/- ?). The reason, of course, is that not everyone has the ability to scroll. Personally, I use a laptop as my primary machine and only have the touchpad as my pointing device. There is a way to scroll with the touchpad, but it's incredibly painful to use, and is very hit or miss on my machine. Also, I don't know how common they are today since I haven't bought one in years, but I'm sure there are users that are still using old mice without scrollers. That said, very nice site. I can see it being very useful to me in the near future.

One other thing - call this a feature request. The problem I've been having with colouring my site has less to do with finding a colour, and more to do with finding a complimentary colour. Perhaps somewhere down the line you could include the ability to create a small pocket in the middle of the screen, so that you could: a) lock the surrounding colour, and change only the colour of the pocket as you scroll around. This helps for creating things like navigation items, where you have a background in mind, and need to create something which stands out without clashing. You could even include the ability to set the background to an uploaded picture, since some sites don't have solid-colour backgrounds. b) lock the pocket, keep the rest of the site as-is. It could help with things like setting the background for a preselected image. Likewise, you could allow the pocket itself to contain said image. /2c

you need to include an alternative to scrolling (perhaps +/- ?) How about up/down arrows?

  Up/down arrows would be fine too. The +/- thing was just the first thing off the top of my head; the important thing is just providing the alternative.
