title: code to block colour an image placeholders whilst the content loads
body: <p>I'm struggling to find some code to block colour my image placeholders whilst the content loads. The content on my home page fetches data from the dB and takes about 3 seconds to load dependant on connection speed. Using Wordpress, I'm trying to create somthing similar to the solid pink on <a href="http://www.lyricsandtype.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lyricsandtype.com/</a> and the multi colour on image grid on Theo <a href="http://www.theo-theo.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theo-theo.com/</a></p>
  
  <p>any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
  thanks,
  N</p>
