Great concise list, good to print out and tape up as reference! Lime and purple is a good no-no. What social sharing button widget are you using that floats on the side of your blog?
Sonia,
I am so glad that you liked this list. A dear friend of mine just loves lime and purple but I had to break it to him and he stopped using those colors. His blog traffic actually increased afterwards.
The plugin that I am using is from SumoMe and the best part is, it is free.
Blog on,
