Well, That's Comforting...

Color Matters.... One of the best sources for my project that I have used a lot... Is apparently an attack site? At least, it is according to Mozilla. Regular internet explorer just tells me

"We're sorry. The Color Matters website is not available at this time.

Please check back June 5."

What do I do about this? I was just about to put this site in my webliography section of my website?
