Great stuff!

The only thing I was unsure about what the last one, about "My Speak". Maybe it should be something like:

My Speak keeps track of comments on palettes, colors and profiles.. You can look at any comments you made in the past in the My Speak section of your own profile page. On another lover's profile page, My Speak is where you can see the all the comments they made. From either your own, or another lover's profile page, http://www.colourlovers.com/lover/yourusername - then click on the 'My Speak' tab.

Actually, looking at that, there might need to be a question like

What is a profile page? What is it for? How can I find it?

Not sure - maybe that's obvious.

About My Speak: I've merged both descriptions. What do you think? Too much info?

About Profiles: I was too lazy to write it. Seriously, I didn't how how to broach that topic. Maybe: What are profile pages? How can I edit mine?

No that looks cool to me. Its a bit of a confusing topic so best describe it carefully.

I'm off to work now - lets see when I can get down to doing something about the profile pages. I dont think one needs to spend too much time on "what are profile pages" but it might be cool to describe how you can modify them.

Very nice idea, if I may say so. I'd say write the FAQ and post it here as a new conversation.

Okay. Good idea.

The customising conversation continues here

i was wondering if we are allowed to use the colour lovers hex color widget?

On other sites, you mean? I guess they're copyrighted. The old one was created by http://colourmod.com/ I believe. You might want to contact the CL team to inquire about this.
