Wordpress 2.8 Killed My Blog!
Well, it didn’t actually kill my blog, but it certainly did not make it any livelier. My theme was based on 2.7 template tags, which as far as I know are all still available in 2.8. I did have to do some tweaking to my sidebar and the widgets.
WIDGETS! That’s what it basically killed. Untill [...] -
Iconset: Social Media (15 Icons)
I know that there are literally thousands of iconsets for social media. I also know that this may just be white noise. However, as I was looking for a solid set, I realized that I was limited on the sizes that the author of those iconsets provided. So then I looked for vector iconsets, and [...]

jQuery Plugin Update: SimpleSlider
There were a few things that some people brought to my attention in the initial release of the SimpleSlider plugin. I felt that while it served its purpose, there was some definite room for improvement. Check out the new static page for the SimpleSlider, as well as leave your comments here about what [...]

Basic Startup Template
Every time you start up a site, you generally use the same (or similar) process. Create your index, create and link this stylesheet, and that javascript..

Longest Column Divider (Only Using CSS)
I am one of the biggest advocates for CSS. That being said, I’ve always been disappointed in it’s layout capabilities. There looks to be some promising new features in CSS3. However, being that we’re just starting to think about bailing on IE6, it’s going to be quite a while before we can even start to [...]

jQuery Plugin: SimpleSlider
I’ve been using jQuery for quite some time. That is part of the problem, I had only been ‘using’ it. The power of it, how lightweight it is.. who wouldn’t? It does what it says, it makes Javascript fun. But I had only been ‘using’ it. Never before had I contributed, until last night.

Very Simple IE6 Redirect
If I ever am only allowed one rant, it is IE6. I could go on for days about it’s lack of CSS support, bugs, crazy hacks that have been created to ‘cope’ and many other things that make me crawl into the fetal position with my thumb in my mouth.. but I’m not going to. [...]

Clean up those nasty URLs by removing the file suffix
I’ve been working on some projects lately that use server side languages like PHP. I’m pretty comfortable coding, but something that has generally eluded me is as to how I’ve been able to visit sites with URLs like:
http://www.sitename.com/whatever/you/want
Well, I finally came across how to achieve this effect. Enter stage right, HTACCESS. -
PHP Script: Relative Time (Includes Support For Future Dates)
I know that I just went from one extreme (HTML Basics) to another (PHP Functions), but I had to write this script today for a personal project I’m currently working on. I thought that because it was so hard for me to find something like this via Google (which turned out to be a [...]
