One of the features I am being asked for lately from clients is to have an events manager created for them.  The requirements vary from project to project but there are quite a few items that they seem want.  Since I mainly deal with WordPress for these project I figured that there must be a [...]

I am pleased to another WordPress plugin geared toward improving the functionality and usability of WordPress’ admin area. This plugin will extend the functionality of the richtext editor to include the ability to browse thru all your images that have been uploaded to your WordPress install.
Feel free to check it out at Image Browser [...]

Today I present to you my newest release, a WordPress plugin that adds/extends the functionality of the richtext editor for editing post and pages call Editor Extender.  Fancy name huh?  I am not very creative with my names but I am however creative with my code.  I’ve been using this plugin in probably about half [...]

Lately I have been do a ton of development with WordPress for use in a few websites as CMS - which I will be doing a few post on at some point - and I found using the Media Library to be a bit lacking. Not to bash anyone but there just seemed to [...]

Well ladies and gents, it is finally here!  Mark June 6th, 2008 as the day the web got better, jQuery’s long awaited release of it’s UI library update is here.  Flushed with many bug fixes, a bunch of really good examples, many new features and a theme builder.
When jQuery UI first came out it was huge, [...]

Today I had a need to get all posts between to dates in WordPress, between now and a year ago. After searching and searching I could find the answer I needed. So I decided to just write the query myself which I have done many times before but not with WordPress’ database scheme.

On April 9th I had given a jQuery Presentation on the basics of using jQuery and how to punch up your site with some minor animations. All in all the presentation went over well and I got a lot of good questions. Since my days at UPS I’ve never been real good at creating Power Points to give my presentations. I’ve always been better at just showing, planning what I want to talk about and then just letting the presentation flow. Which can be good and bad depending on if the crowd asks questions. With that said, I did not create any Power Points slided, but since a got a good amount of emails asking me to post them, I decided to just create a screencast that covers everything we went over, answering the questions that were asked during the presentation.

As you very well know by now, I have created quite a few image / photo galleries and the ultimate goal was to allow them to be as unobtrusive as possible. Well, the other day I got into a discussion with a co-worker and the questions he asked were, “How is that unobtrusive?”, referring to my gallery plugins, “The images are in list elements?” My answer to that was, “They can be styled to have each list element float and punched up a bit.” His rebuttal, “But what if styles were off also?” I hesitated for a second and he know he had won this conversation and silently walked away.

After building my first few WordPress plugins I learned quite a few things that I just could not find good information on. So what I will be doing over a couple or so posts is explaining what the problem/issue was that I had and show you how I went about resolving the problem/issue.

Back in December I released a WordPress plugin called Benjamin Sterling Galleries that was pretty good. Then a friend suggested that I should change the name because it was a bit “ego” driven and would not really grab anyones attention. I told him I liked that name, but would be open to suggestions. He had none.

As some of you may know I have been working on adding a bunch of functionality to my WordPress plugin BSG and with many sleepless nights and countless hours (203) I have release beta 2 of the plugin under the new name PhotoXhibit.

Better design; better accessibly; less suck. BenjaminSterling.com has been redesigned!!!

Ok, enough of the says pitch lets get to what has changed and what is better and what still needs to be worked on.

If you are anything like me, you find using the Rich Text editor for Wordpress to be a bit daunting for any number of reason. For me, it is mainly when I go to add custom code and go back to the visual editor and it just disappears. Yes I know I can go in and hack the thing to get it to appreciate my code, but really, I find that to be to much work. Besides, I found a really nice alternative, Quicktags!

We will do this by going to “Settings” which will be at the top right of the page.  Once there go to “Web Clips” and in the “Search [...]

With my current design and layout I am trying to use EM for my font size so that it will expand correctly when an end user resizes their font. The problem is, I am not using it correctly; I thought I knew, but I am sadly mistake. As you can tell by some [...]

In my first post about jQuery Selectors call Select what you want, I went over some basic selectors that I use on a daily basis within a web based training framework I put together using jQuery. What I would like to cover are some of the situations I have ran into over the past [...]

In an earlier post I wrote about what are the fastest basic selectors and found out some interesting stuff with regards to speed for some basic selectors. In this post I am going to go over some not-so-basic selectors. I am going to try not to repeat what Karl has said in his [...]

Update 12/07/2007: per Brian Cherne comments, I decided to run these test again in Firefox with firebug lite instead of firebug and the execution times were dreastically different. So, to “level the playing field” I would suggest that you turn off firebug or disable it for the page and refresh, you will get the [...]

In my Stumbling, I came across a slide show that normally I would just stumbled over, but since I was just trying to kill time I decided to click through it. To my amazement it was very informative and I felt the need to propagate it’s message. Keep in mind that I am [...]

I’ve been using StumbleUpon for a few weeks now and have found a ton of sites that have given me a ton of knowledge, some that have confirmed my thoughts of quite a few things and sites that just made me shake my head at.
One such site was talking about CSS Image Rollovers and [...]

When building my first real plugin for Wordpress, I wanted to utilize some Ajax approaches that would use JSON and which would make for a speedy process, but quickly found that 1) PHP4 does not support the “json_decode” function, 2) the classes that json.org recommended were too hard to put into play, and 3) once [...]
