WYSIWYG Plugin for WordPress

By Jonathan + June 29th, 2005

I finally found a WYSIWYG plugin for WP that actually works: http://www.moiblog.com/plugins/
It uses the Tiny_MCE DHTML editor (by far the best I’ve seen).  WP should really include this by default
UPDATE: While you’re installing this one, check out the image uploader/gallery plugin here

DHTML/Ajax Links

By Jonathan + June 29th, 2005

Anyone who knows me (professionally only I hope ;-)), knows that I’ve been obsessed with researching DHTML, and in particular, Ajax quite a bit lately. Since I just started this blog, I thought I’d post the links I’ve found so far. If you have any great links lying around, please feel free to post [...]

Javascript “$” Function Name

By Jonathan + June 29th, 2005

Apparently Javascript will allow functions to be named simply "$". Some clever people who noticed that they were using a lot of document.getElementById() placed that into a function so they can use $("element_id") to refer to HTML elements. What a great convention!

Wiping out WP break tags

By Jonathan + June 29th, 2005

For me, the strength of WordPress is the ability to add whatever HTML code I desire to my posts. However, the fact that WP automatically adds BR tags to your posts was driving me nuts. Luckily, that’s easy to change. If you’re in WP 1.5 like me, the file you need to change is the [...]

Position:Fixed

By Jonathan + June 27th, 2005

Great example of using Position:Fixed in CSS: http://www.snook.ca/archives/000368.html It appears to need a DHTML equivalent in IE6 which causes a lot of screen-jitter. Maybe if they get this working in IE7 I’ll think about using it Still neat though.

del.icio.us

By Jonathan + June 27th, 2005

I’m still getting to know del.icio.us but so far it looks like a great social bookmarking tool. I check the Ajax and DHTML RSS feeds daily and there’s always something new. What’s the point of searching for new stuff when others have already found and bookmarked it?
Here’s an alternate interface for del.icio.us: [...]
