Digging Into The Wordpress Config File

Recently Chris Coyier and Jeff Starr launched a blog called Digging Into Wordpress which hosts some cool posts about Wordpress and is a partner site for a book they are about to launch with the same name.

One of their latest posts WordPress Configuration Tricks points some some really quite smart tricks that can be achieved by editing the wp_config.php file. For example:

• Manually setting your Blog Address and Site Address
• Custom User and Usermeta Tables
• Moving Your wp-content directory
• Dealing with Post Revisions
• Specifying the Autosave Interval
• Saving and Displaying Database Queries for Analysis

There is some really nifty stuff in there. If this is your kind of thing I would highly recommend you go and check it out and maybe let Chris and Jeff know how much you appreciate their work.

Introduction to jQuery Events

In the web development world there has been one Javascript framework which has really made it’s mark over the last couple of years. I am of course talking about jQuery. Everyone is using it including Google, Wordpress, Drupal, Mozilla, Digg… and the list goes on. And there is good reason for this, mainly that it is a very flexible, extendible and powerful framework for Javascript.

One of the most useful parts of jQuery is it’s ability to attach events to objects within a web page. When these events are triggered you can then use a custom function to do pretty much whatever you want with the event. So I thought I would share with you an introduction to jQuery Events.

LoveIcon Launch

Although I was sad to see ProgTuts go, I’m very excited about my new site LoveIcon.

LoveIcon is an icon inspiration gallery/resource site for anyone who has an interest in beautiful icons. Recently I was aware that there was loads of CSS galleries but I had only ever seen a few Icon galleries. So I decided to make LoveIcon. I’m hoping the site will fill up with the worlds most amazing icon designs from the best designers around the world.

Why not head on over and check it out, or help me out by submitting an icon suggestion. So remember, if you see any amazing icons head over to LoveIcon and tell the world about them.
