WordPress Plugin: Slim Title
By default, if a post is set to visibility: Private, or Password Protected, the word “Private:” or “Protected:” is prepended to the title. With a simple google search I found a code snippet that worked in replacing those words with nothing, or if I so choose, anything I li…
WordPress and my ongoing love affair with it.
I am a HUGE WordPress fan. Considering I work with it every day, I understand a good deal more than most people about what it can do. I have built websites that don’t appear to be WordPress sites at all, I call this “WordPress Invisibility”. Doing this is fairly easy actually. Well,…
All outside links open in a new window, with jQuery
Today a client asked if all the links on his site could open in a new window. I solved that problem with jQuery, and here’s how: <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery("a").filter(function() { return this.hostname &&a…
float: left; and float: right;
I make websites for a living. I also make websites for fun, either way it’s what I do. When I’m making a 2-column layout, I always float the first left, and the second right. Why? Because I can avoid using too much margin and breaking the site in IE6, due to the notorious float margins bug. I d…

I put a WordPress Textmate bundle I use for work on my If you use Textmate, just download, then double click to install. It’s not…
Styling Blockquotes with Psuedo classes
Ok, so a few years ago I was fairly new to working with CSS and XHTML, and found it really frustrating that I couldn’t use two background images to place quote images before and after a blockquote with CSS. Well, you still can’t do it with the “background” selector, but you c…
Why I love web development
I love web development. And this is why: It is the close to endless potential to create. It is the type of creativity I was born for, the type that has always moved me. The same with building things, and electronics (though I don’t know enough to modify all that I would like). It’s the same re…
