Check Email Address Format</h3>\n<p>This is a standard regular expression, which is used to validate email addresses to ensure they follow the standard format:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>email@email.com = OK</li>\n<li>email.email.com = Error</li>\n</ul>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n$(\'.keyup-email\').keyup(function() {\n    $(\'span.error-keyup-7\').remove();\n    var inputVal = $(this).val();\n    var emailReg = /^([\\w-\\.]+@([\\w-]+\\.)+[\\w-]{2,4})?$/;\n    if(!emailReg.test(inputVal)) {\n        $(this).after(\'&lt;span class=&quot;error error-keyup-7&quot;&gt;Invalid Email Format.&lt;/span&gt;\');\n    }\n});\n</pre>\n<h3>Example 8 &#8211; No Free Email Addresses</h3>\n<p>Another useful email validation regular expression checks for email addresses using free emails &#8211; in the example below we check for yahoo, gmail and hotmail:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>email@yahoo.com = Error</li>\n<li>email@email.com = OK</li>\n</ul>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n$(\'.keyup-email-2\').keyup(function() {\n    $(\'span.error-keyup-8\').remove();\n    var inputVal = $(this).val();\n    var emailFreeReg= /^([\\w-\\.]+@(?!gmail.com)(?!yahoo.com)(?!hotmail.com)(?!aol.com)([\\w-]+\\.)+[\\w-]{2,4})?$/;\n    if(!emailFreeReg.test(inputVal)) {\n        $(this).after(\'&lt;span class=&quot;error error-keyup-8&quot;&gt;No Free Email Addresses.&lt;/span&gt;\');\n    }\n});\n</pre>\n<h3>Example 9 &#8211; Visa Card Number Format</h3>\n<p>For an example of validating a credit card we can use the following regular expression, which checks the input against the standard format for Visa credit cards &#8211; All card numbers must start with a 4 &#038; cards may either have 16 digits or 13 digits for older cards:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>4166000000000000 = OK</li>\n<li>4166000000000 = OK</li>\n<li>41660000000000001 = Error</li>\n<li>2166000000000000 = Error</li>\n</ul>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript;

The objective of the final plugin will be to be able to create a custom tooltip of our own design on any element, using the title attribute as the source for the tooltip content.</p>\n<p>Creating a jQuery plugin version makes you think a little more about the various requirements of the code to ensure that all possible variations of where/how it may be used are covered. Since you also may have less control over the CSS of where it may be used you usually need to add a little extra jQuery to set the conditions. Generally this requires adding code that gets the objects dimensions, position or content.</p>\n<h3>The Tooltip Plugin Components</h3>\n<p>If we look then at the various stages/components required for creating a jquery tooltips plugin that must be able to function anywhere we can break it down into the following basic components:</p>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>Dynamically generating the tooltip &#8211; this involves both the html &#8220;container&#8221; and the text content</li>\n<li>The event that will trigger the tooltip to appear</li>\n<li>The animation that will present the tooltip on screen</li>\n<li>The animation to remove the tooltip once no longer required.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>The Plugin Code</h3>\n<p>Plugins basically follow the same pattern so once you have created your first jQuery plugin things get much easier. We wont go into too much detail on how plugins are constructed since there are a lot of good resources already out there on writing jQuery plugins. A good starting place is &#8211; <a href=\"http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Authoring\" rel=\"nofollow\">Plugins/Authoring on the jQuery website</a>.</p>\n<p>The basic standard format we use is as follows:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n(function( $ ){\n\n  $.fn.yourpluginname= function( options ) {  \n\n    var defaults = {\n      \'youroption\': \'default setting\'\n    };\n\n    //call in the default otions\n    var options = $.extend(defaults, options);\n\n    return this.each(function() {\n\n      // Here you add your jQuery plugin code\n\n    });\n\n  };\n})( jQuery );\n</pre>\n<h4>1. Set Up The Plugin &#038; Add Our Default Options</h4>\n<p>The first thing we need to do is set up the namespacing. This is an important step when developing a jQuery plugin and you need to set up the namespacing to ensure that your plugin will have a very low chance of being overwritten by another plugin using the same name.</p>\n<p>We always prefix our plugins with &#8220;dc&#8221; so for our jQuery tooltips we are going to use &#8220;dcTooltip&#8221;.</p>\n<p>Options allow you to add variables, which the plugin user can set themselves when the plugin initialises. This makes the plugin more flexible. For our tooltips we have determined that we would like to set up 5 different options, which all therefore need default settings:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n(function($){\n\n    $.fn.dcTooltip = function(options) {\n\n        //set default options\n        var defaults = {\n            classWrapper: \'tooltip\',    // Class of tooltip container\n            hoverDelay: 300,    // Delay in milliseconds before tooltip activates\n            speed: \'fast\',    // Speed of tooltip animation\n            distance: 20,    // Distance for tooltip animation\n            padLeft: 0    // Setting allowing user to manually shift the tooltip position\n        };\n\n        //call in the default otions\n        var options = $.extend(defaults, options);\n\n})(jQuery);\n</pre>\n<p>Now that we have the basic plugin structure in place we can get down to the jQuery code that will generate the tooltip feature.</p>\n<h4>2. Dynamically Generating The Tooltip</h4>\n<p>As we mentioned above we are going to get the tooltip text from the item&#8217;s &#8220;title&#8221; attribute. The text then needs to be inserted into our tooltip container, ready for the animation.</p>\n<p>The HTML for the tooltip container is very simple:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\">\n&lt;div class=&quot;tooltip&quot;&gt;\n    &lt;div class=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n    &lt;div class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;\n</pre>\n<p>We have added the additional div tag (class = &#8220;top&#8221;) so the user can add more advanced styling.</p>\n<p>In this first section of our jquery tooltips code we are going to do a number of things:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Get the title attribute text insert into the tooltip container and append the tooltip HTML to the item.</li>\n<li>Get the tooltip dimensions</li>\n<li>Get the dimensions of the element</li>\n<li>Position the tooltip by setting it&#8217;s margins. We want our tooltip to be positioned at the top and center of each element. The left margin will be based on the width of the element and the top margin based on the tooltip&#8217;s height and distance we want it to travel during the animation.</li>\n<li>Set up CSS &#8211; Since our tooltips are positioned absolutely we need to make sure that the tooltip item has relative positioning. Plus we need to set our tooltip opacity to zero for the animation effect.</li>\n<li>Finally &#8211; lets empty the element&#8217;s title attribute to prevent the default browser tooltip appearing.</li>\n</ol>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n    // 1. Get the text, create the tooltip and append\n    var getText = $(this).attr(\'title\');\n    var $wrapper = \'&lt;div class=&quot;\'+defaults.classWrapper+\'&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;\'+getText+\'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\';\n    $(this).append($wrapper);\n\n    // 2. Get the dimensions of the tooltip\n    var $tooltip = $(\'.\'+defaults.classWrapper,this);\n    var widthP = $tooltip.width();\n\n    // 3. Get the dimensions of the element\n    var widthT = $(this).width();\n    var heightT = $(this).height();\n\n    // 4. Set margins based on element dimensions and distance for animation\n    var marginTop = heightT - defaults.distance;\n    var marginLeft = (widthP - widthT)/2;\n    marginLeft = -marginLeft + defaults.padLeft;\n    $tooltip.css({marginLeft: marginLeft+\'px\', bottom: marginTop+\'px\'});\n\n    // 5. Set the element position to relative &amp; tooltip opacity to 0\n    $(this).css(\'position\',\'relative\');\n    $tooltip.css(\'opacity\',0);\n\n    // 6. Remove the element\'s title text\n    $(this).removeAttr(\'title\');\n</pre>\n<p>That&#8217;s basically it for the code, which will create and set up each element&#8217;s tooltip. Each tooltip is now ready for us to add the animation effects.</p>\n<div class=\"banner-horizontal\">\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-7740611438413740\";\n/* Banner Mid Post */\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"8625321051\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n//-->\n</script><br />\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js\">\n</script>\n</div>\n<h4>3. Setting Up The Hover Event</h4>\n<p>Our jQuery tooltips are going to be triggered using the &#8220;hover&#8221; event. To minimise tooltips appearing when users are just moving their mouse across the screen and becoming an annoying effect, we are going to use the <a href=\"http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jquery.hoverIntent.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">HoverIntent plugin</a>.</p>\n<p>We set up the hover event using the following code, which includes the settings required for HoverIntent:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n// Configuration settings for HoverIntent plugin\nvar config = {\n    sensitivity: 2, // number = sensitivity threshold (must be 1 or higher)\n    interval: defaults.hoverDelay, // number = milliseconds for onMouseOver polling interval\n    over: linkOver, // function = onMouseOver callback (REQUIRED)\n    timeout: defaults.hoverDelay, // number = milliseconds delay before onMouseOut\n    out: linkOut // function = onMouseOut callback (REQUIRED)\n    };\n\n// Initialise HoverIntent\n$(this).hoverIntent(config);\n</pre>\n<p>The above code sets the timeout and interval to be the same as our initial option settings with a default of 300 milliseconds. Users can therefore increase this by passing a higher value when the plugin is initialised.</p>\n<p>Notice in the configuration settings we have declared 2 functions &#8211; &#8220;linkOver&#8221; and &#8220;linkOut&#8221;. This is where we will add out animation code, which shows/hides the tooltip HTML.</p>\n<h4>4. linkOver Function To Display Tooltip</h4>\n<p>Now comes the fun part where we get to add the animation code that will display our tooltip. Our animation, which shows the tooltip has 3 basic steps:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>First we need to &#8220;show&#8221; the tooltip since it is currently hidden using CSS.</li>\n<li>Set the &#8220;bottom&#8221; position of the tooltip to the same as our marginTop variable, which we got earlier in the code.</li>\n<li>Animate the plugin by moving it up &#8211; the distance is set according to our &#8220;distance&#8221; option. The speed for the animation is also set using our plugin options, which has a default value of &#8220;fast&#8221;.</li>\n</ol>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\nfunction linkOver(){\n    $tooltip.show().css({\n        bottom: marginTop+\'px\'\n    }).animate({\n        bottom: defaults.distance+marginTop,\n        opacity: 1\n    }, defaults.speed);\n}\n</pre>\n<h4>5. linkOut Function To Hide Tooltip</h4>\n<p>Our animation for hiding the jquery tooltip only has two basic steps:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Move the tooltip upwards a distance of 1.5 x our &#8220;distance&#8221; option, at the same time fading out the tooltip. Again our speed is set according to the &#8220;speed&#8221; option.</li>\n<li>When the first step is complete we need to &#8220;hide&#8221; the tooltip again.</li>\n</ol>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\nfunction linkOut(){\n    $(\'.\'+defaults.classWrapper,this).animate({\n        bottom: (defaults.distance*1.5)+marginTop,\n        opacity: 0\n    }, defaults.speed, function() {\n        $(this).hide();\n    });\n}\n</pre>\n<h3>The Complete jQuery Tooltip Plugin Code</h3>\n<p>Putting all of our above components together the complete plugin code is:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n(function($){\n\n	//define the new for the plugin ans how to call it\n	$.fn.dcTooltip = function(options) {\n\n		//set default options\n		var defaults = {\n			classWrapper	: \'tooltip\',\n			hoverDelay		: 300,\n			speed       	: \'fast\',\n			distance		: 20,\n			padLeft			: 0\n		};\n\n		//call in the default otions\n		var options = $.extend(defaults, options);\n\n		//act upon the element that is passed into the design\n		return this.each(function(options){\n\n			// 1. Get the text, create the tooltip and append\n			var getText = $(this).attr(\'title\');\n			var $wrapper = \'&lt;div class=&quot;\'+defaults.classWrapper+\'&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;\'+getText+\'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\';\n			$(this).append($wrapper);\n			// 2. Get the dimensions of the tooltip\n			var $tooltip = $(\'.\'+defaults.classWrapper,this);\n			var widthP = $tooltip.width();\n			// 3. Get the dimensions of the element\n			var widthT = $(this).width();\n			var heightT = $(this).height();\n			// 4. Set margins based on element dimensions and distance for animation\n			var marginTop = heightT - defaults.distance;\n			var marginLeft = (widthP - widthT)/2;\n			marginLeft = -marginLeft + defaults.padLeft;\n			$tooltip.css({marginLeft: marginLeft+\'px\', bottom: marginTop+\'px\'});\n			// 5. Set the element position to relative &amp; tooltip opacity to 0\n			$(this).css(\'position\',\'relative\');\n			$tooltip.css(\'opacity\',0);\n			// 6. Remove the element\'s title text\n			$(this).removeAttr(&quot;title&quot;);\n\n                       // Configuration settings for HoverIntent plugin\n			var config = {\n				sensitivity: 2, // number = sensitivity threshold (must be 1 or higher)\n				interval: defaults.hoverDelay, // number = milliseconds for onMouseOver polling interval\n				over: linkOver, // function = onMouseOver callback (REQUIRED)\n				timeout: defaults.hoverDelay, // number = milliseconds delay before onMouseOut\n				out: linkOut // function = onMouseOut callback (REQUIRED)\n			};\n\n			// Initialise HoverIntent\n			$(this).hoverIntent(config);\n\n			// Hover link over\n			function linkOver(){\n\n				$tooltip.show().css({\n					bottom: marginTop+\'px\'\n                }).animate({\n                    bottom: defaults.distance+marginTop,\n                 opacity: 1\n                }, defaults.speed);\n			}\n\n			// Hover link over\n			function linkOut(){\n\n				$(\'.\'+defaults.classWrapper,this).animate({\n                    bottom: (defaults.distance*1.5)+marginTop,\n                    opacity: 0\n			    }, defaults.speed, function() {\n					$(this).hide();\n				});\n			}\n		});\n	};\n})(jQuery);\n</pre>\n<p>Save your plugin file &#8211; in our case we are going to use &#8211; jquery.dctooltip.1.0.js</p>\n<h3>Using Your jQuery Tooltips Plugin</h3>\n<p>To use your jQuery tooltips now becomes very easy since it&#8217;s wrapped up as a plugin.</p>\n<h4>1. Add the Plugin</h4>\n<p>Add the plugin link to the document head as you would do with any other plugin. Don&#8217;t forget to also include the HoverIntent plugin:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;js/jquery.hoverIntent.minified.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;\n&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;js/jquery.dctooltip.1.0.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;\n</pre>\n<h4>2. Initialise the jQuery Tooltip Plugin</h4>\n<p>To use the plugin with it&#8217;s default options you can use the following code:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n$(document).ready(function() {\n    $(\'#demo-list li a\').dcTooltip();\n});\n</pre>\n<p>To change any of the default options:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n$(document).ready(function() {\n    $(\'#demo-list li a\').dcTooltip({\n        classWrapper: \'another-tooltip\',\n	hoverDelay: 600,\n	speed: \'slow\',\n	distance: 40\n    });\n});\n</pre>\n<h4>3. The Tooltip CSS</h4>\n<p>Our tooltip CSS is fortunately very easy. As we mentioned at the start, if you are developing a jQuery plugin for general release you want to make it easy to use and wherever possible try to avoid very specific custom styling requirements &#8211; or at least make it easy to customise.</p>\n<p>In our plugin options we have allowed the user to specify the tooltip container class, which therefore enables them to have multiple styles. For our demo we will use the default class &#8211; &#8220;tooltip&#8221;.</p>\n<p>There are only a few &#8220;required&#8221; CSS rules for the tooltip container, which are identified below:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\">\n.tooltip {\nwidth: 249px;\nposition: absolute; /* Required */\nbottom: 0; /* Required */\nleft: 0; /* Required */\ndisplay: none; /* Required */\nfont-weight: normal;\nfont-size: 12px;\nline-height: 1.5em;\ncolor: #000;\nz-index: 50;\n}\n.tooltip .text {\npadding: 5px 15px 35px 15px;\nbackground: url(images/tooltip.png) no-repeat 100% 100%;\n}\n.tooltip .top {\nheight: 10px;\nbackground: url(images/tooltip_top.png) no-repeat 100% 100%;\n}\n</pre>\n<p><a href=\"/lab/jquery/demo/jquery_tooltips_plugin_demo.htm\" class=\"demo\">View jQuery Tooltips Plugin Demo</a><a href=\"/lab/jquery/demo/download/jquery-tooltips-plugin.zip\" class=\"demo\">Download Source Files</a></p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=eU2tc65Y0h4:abG2Q2dGdPQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?i=eU2tc65Y0h4:abG2Q2dGdPQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=eU2tc65Y0h4:abG2Q2dGdPQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?i=eU2tc65Y0h4:abG2Q2dGdPQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=eU2tc65Y0h4:abG2Q2dGdPQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?i=eU2tc65Y0h4:abG2Q2dGdPQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=eU2tc65Y0h4:abG2Q2dGdPQ:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=eU2tc65Y0h4:abG2Q2dGdPQ:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=eU2tc65Y0h4:abG2Q2dGdPQ:-BTjWOF_DHI\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?i=eU2tc65Y0h4:abG2Q2dGdPQ:-BTjWOF_DHI\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesignChemical/~4/eU2tc65Y0h4\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>\";}s:3:\"wfw\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentrss\";s:104:\"http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/jquery/jquery-tooltips-create-your-own-tooltip-plugin/feed/\";}s:5:\"slash\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";s:1:\"0\";}s:10:\"feedburner\";a:1:{s:8:\"origlink\";s:99:\"http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/jquery/jquery-tooltips-create-your-own-tooltip-plugin/\";}s:7:\"summary\";s:870:\"<a href=\"http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/jquery/jquery-tooltips-create-your-own-tooltip-plugin/\"><img align=\"left\" hspace=\"5\" width=\"150\" src=\"/media/images/jquery_tooltips_tutorial.jpg\" class=\"alignleft wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" /></a><p class=\"text-center\"><img src=\"/media/images/jquery_tooltips_tutorial.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s jQuery tutorial we are going to look at creating your own jQuery tooltip plugin!</p>\n<p>Whilst there are many great tooltip plugins available out there, creating your own provides a nice and relatively easy opportunity to try your hand at jquery plugins as well as some basic jquery code.</p>\n<p>View jQuery Tooltips Plugin DemoDownload Source Files &#8230; <a href=\"http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/jquery/jquery-tooltips-create-your-own-tooltip-plugin/\" class=\"read_more\">more</a></p>\n<p\";s:12:\"atom_content\";s:17423:\"<p class=\"text-center\"><img src=\"/media/images/jquery_tooltips_tutorial.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s jQuery tutorial we are going to look at creating your own jQuery tooltip plugin!</p>\n<p>Whilst there are many great tooltip plugins available out there, creating your own provides a nice and relatively easy opportunity to try your hand at jquery plugins as well as some basic jquery code.</p>\n<p><a href=\"/lab/jquery/demo/jquery_tooltips_plugin_demo.htm\" class=\"demo\">View jQuery Tooltips Plugin Demo</a><a href=\"/lab/jquery/demo/download/jquery-tooltips-plugin.zip\" class=\"demo\">Download Source Files</a></p>\n<p class=\"clear\">By creating a plugin version of the code you are making it portable and easily applied to any html element in your website. The objective of the final plugin will be to be able to create a custom tooltip of our own design on any element, using the title attribute as the source for the tooltip content.</p>\n<p>Creating a jQuery plugin version makes you think a little more about the various requirements of the code to ensure that all possible variations of where/how it may be used are covered. Since you also may have less control over the CSS of where it may be used you usually need to add a little extra jQuery to set the conditions. Generally this requires adding code that gets the objects dimensions, position or content.</p>\n<h3>The Tooltip Plugin Components</h3>\n<p>If we look then at the various stages/components required for creating a jquery tooltips plugin that must be able to function anywhere we can break it down into the following basic components:</p>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>Dynamically generating the tooltip &#8211; this involves both the html &#8220;container&#8221; and the text content</li>\n<li>The event that will trigger the tooltip to appear</li>\n<li>The animation that will present the tooltip on screen</li>\n<li>The animation to remove the tooltip once no longer required.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>The Plugin Code</h3>\n<p>Plugins basically follow the same pattern so once you have created your first jQuery plugin things get much easier. We wont go into too much detail on how plugins are constructed since there are a lot of good resources already out there on writing jQuery plugins. A good starting place is &#8211; <a href=\"http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Authoring\" rel=\"nofollow\">Plugins/Authoring on the jQuery website</a>.</p>\n<p>The basic standard format we use is as follows:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n(function( $ ){\n\n  $.fn.yourpluginname= function( options ) {  \n\n    var defaults = {\n      \'youroption\': \'default setting\'\n    };\n\n    //call in the default otions\n    var options = $.extend(defaults, options);\n\n    return this.each(function() {\n\n      // Here you add your jQuery plugin code\n\n    });\n\n  };\n})( jQuery );\n</pre>\n<h4>1. Set Up The Plugin &#038; Add Our Default Options</h4>\n<p>The first thing we need to do is set up the namespacing. This is an important step when developing a jQuery plugin and you need to set up the namespacing to ensure that your plugin will have a very low chance of being overwritten by another plugin using the same name.</p>\n<p>We always prefix our plugins with &#8220;dc&#8221; so for our jQuery tooltips we are going to use &#8220;dcTooltip&#8221;.</p>\n<p>Options allow you to add variables, which the plugin user can set themselves when the plugin initialises. This makes the plugin more flexible. For our tooltips we have determined that we would like to set up 5 different options, which all therefore need default settings:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n(function($){\n\n    $.fn.dcTooltip = function(options) {\n\n        //set default options\n        var defaults = {\n            classWrapper: \'tooltip\',    // Class of tooltip container\n            hoverDelay: 300,    // Delay in milliseconds before tooltip activates\n            speed: \'fast\',    // Speed of tooltip animation\n            distance: 20,    // Distance for tooltip animation\n            padLeft: 0    // Setting allowing user to manually shift the tooltip position\n        };\n\n        //call in the default otions\n        var options = $.extend(defaults, options);\n\n})(jQuery);\n</pre>\n<p>Now that we have the basic plugin structure in place we can get down to the jQuery code that will generate the tooltip feature.</p>\n<h4>2. Dynamically Generating The Tooltip</h4>\n<p>As we mentioned above we are going to get the tooltip text from the item&#8217;s &#8220;title&#8221; attribute. The text then needs to be inserted into our tooltip container, ready for the animation.</p>\n<p>The HTML for the tooltip container is very simple:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\">\n&lt;div class=&quot;tooltip&quot;&gt;\n    &lt;div class=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n    &lt;div class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;\n</pre>\n<p>We have added the additional div tag (class = &#8220;top&#8221;) so the user can add more advanced styling.</p>\n<p>In this first section of our jquery tooltips code we are going to do a number of things:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Get the title attribute text insert into the tooltip container and append the tooltip HTML to the item.</li>\n<li>Get the tooltip dimensions</li>\n<li>Get the dimensions of the element</li>\n<li>Position the tooltip by setting it&#8217;s margins. We want our tooltip to be positioned at the top and center of each element. The left margin will be based on the width of the element and the top margin based on the tooltip&#8217;s height and distance we want it to travel during the animation.</li>\n<li>Set up CSS &#8211; Since our tooltips are positioned absolutely we need to make sure that the tooltip item has relative positioning. Plus we need to set our tooltip opacity to zero for the animation effect.</li>\n<li>Finally &#8211; lets empty the element&#8217;s title attribute to prevent the default browser tooltip appearing.</li>\n</ol>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n    // 1. Get the text, create the tooltip and append\n    var getText = $(this).attr(\'title\');\n    var $wrapper = \'&lt;div class=&quot;\'+defaults.classWrapper+\'&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;\'+getText+\'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\';\n    $(this).append($wrapper);\n\n    // 2. Get the dimensions of the tooltip\n    var $tooltip = $(\'.\'+defaults.classWrapper,this);\n    var widthP = $tooltip.width();\n\n    // 3. Get the dimensions of the element\n    var widthT = $(this).width();\n    var heightT = $(this).height();\n\n    // 4. Set margins based on element dimensions and distance for animation\n    var marginTop = heightT - defaults.distance;\n    var marginLeft = (widthP - widthT)/2;\n    marginLeft = -marginLeft + defaults.padLeft;\n    $tooltip.css({marginLeft: marginLeft+\'px\', bottom: marginTop+\'px\'});\n\n    // 5. Set the element position to relative &amp; tooltip opacity to 0\n    $(this).css(\'position\',\'relative\');\n    $tooltip.css(\'opacity\',0);\n\n    // 6. Remove the element\'s title text\n    $(this).removeAttr(\'title\');\n</pre>\n<p>That&#8217;s basically it for the code, which will create and set up each element&#8217;s tooltip. Each tooltip is now ready for us to add the animation effects.</p>\n<div class=\"banner-horizontal\">\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-7740611438413740\";\n/* Banner Mid Post */\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"8625321051\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n//-->\n</script><br />\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js\">\n</script>\n</div>\n<h4>3. Setting Up The Hover Event</h4>\n<p>Our jQuery tooltips are going to be triggered using the &#8220;hover&#8221; event. To minimise tooltips appearing when users are just moving their mouse across the screen and becoming an annoying effect, we are going to use the <a href=\"http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jquery.hoverIntent.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">HoverIntent plugin</a>.</p>\n<p>We set up the hover event using the following code, which includes the settings required for HoverIntent:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n// Configuration settings for HoverIntent plugin\nvar config = {\n    sensitivity: 2, // number = sensitivity threshold (must be 1 or higher)\n    interval: defaults.hoverDelay, // number = milliseconds for onMouseOver polling interval\n    over: linkOver, // function = onMouseOver callback (REQUIRED)\n    timeout: defaults.hoverDelay, // number = milliseconds delay before onMouseOut\n    out: linkOut // function = onMouseOut callback (REQUIRED)\n    };\n\n// Initialise HoverIntent\n$(this).hoverIntent(config);\n</pre>\n<p>The above code sets the timeout and interval to be the same as our initial option settings with a default of 300 milliseconds. Users can therefore increase this by passing a higher value when the plugin is initialised.</p>\n<p>Notice in the configuration settings we have declared 2 functions &#8211; &#8220;linkOver&#8221; and &#8220;linkOut&#8221;. This is where we will add out animation code, which shows/hides the tooltip HTML.</p>\n<h4>4. linkOver Function To Display Tooltip</h4>\n<p>Now comes the fun part where we get to add the animation code that will display our tooltip. Our animation, which shows the tooltip has 3 basic steps:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>First we need to &#8220;show&#8221; the tooltip since it is currently hidden using CSS.</li>\n<li>Set the &#8220;bottom&#8221; position of the tooltip to the same as our marginTop variable, which we got earlier in the code.</li>\n<li>Animate the plugin by moving it up &#8211; the distance is set according to our &#8220;distance&#8221; option. The speed for the animation is also set using our plugin options, which has a default value of &#8220;fast&#8221;.</li>\n</ol>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\nfunction linkOver(){\n    $tooltip.show().css({\n        bottom: marginTop+\'px\'\n    }).animate({\n        bottom: defaults.distance+marginTop,\n        opacity: 1\n    }, defaults.speed);\n}\n</pre>\n<h4>5. linkOut Function To Hide Tooltip</h4>\n<p>Our animation for hiding the jquery tooltip only has two basic steps:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Move the tooltip upwards a distance of 1.5 x our &#8220;distance&#8221; option, at the same time fading out the tooltip. Again our speed is set according to the &#8220;speed&#8221; option.</li>\n<li>When the first step is complete we need to &#8220;hide&#8221; the tooltip again.</li>\n</ol>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\nfunction linkOut(){\n    $(\'.\'+defaults.classWrapper,this).animate({\n        bottom: (defaults.distance*1.5)+marginTop,\n        opacity: 0\n    }, defaults.speed, function() {\n        $(this).hide();\n    });\n}\n</pre>\n<h3>The Complete jQuery Tooltip Plugin Code</h3>\n<p>Putting all of our above components together the complete plugin code is:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n(function($){\n\n	//define the new for the plugin ans how to call it\n	$.fn.dcTooltip = function(options) {\n\n		//set default options\n		var defaults = {\n			classWrapper	: \'tooltip\',\n			hoverDelay		: 300,\n			speed       	: \'fast\',\n			distance		: 20,\n			padLeft			: 0\n		};\n\n		//call in the default otions\n		var options = $.extend(defaults, options);\n\n		//act upon the element that is passed into the design\n		return this.each(function(options){\n\n			// 1. Get the text, create the tooltip and append\n			var getText = $(this).attr(\'title\');\n			var $wrapper = \'&lt;div class=&quot;\'+defaults.classWrapper+\'&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;\'+getText+\'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\';\n			$(this).append($wrapper);\n			// 2. Get the dimensions of the tooltip\n			var $tooltip = $(\'.\'+defaults.classWrapper,this);\n			var widthP = $tooltip.width();\n			// 3. Get the dimensions of the element\n			var widthT = $(this).width();\n			var heightT = $(this).height();\n			// 4. Set margins based on element dimensions and distance for animation\n			var marginTop = heightT - defaults.distance;\n			var marginLeft = (widthP - widthT)/2;\n			marginLeft = -marginLeft + defaults.padLeft;\n			$tooltip.css({marginLeft: marginLeft+\'px\', bottom: marginTop+\'px\'});\n			// 5. Set the element position to relative &amp; tooltip opacity to 0\n			$(this).css(\'position\',\'relative\');\n			$tooltip.css(\'opacity\',0);\n			// 6. Remove the element\'s title text\n			$(this).removeAttr(&quot;title&quot;);\n\n                       // Configuration settings for HoverIntent plugin\n			var config = {\n				sensitivity: 2, // number = sensitivity threshold (must be 1 or higher)\n				interval: defaults.hoverDelay, // number = milliseconds for onMouseOver polling interval\n				over: linkOver, // function = onMouseOver callback (REQUIRED)\n				timeout: defaults.hoverDelay, // number = milliseconds delay before onMouseOut\n				out: linkOut // function = onMouseOut callback (REQUIRED)\n			};\n\n			// Initialise HoverIntent\n			$(this).hoverIntent(config);\n\n			// Hover link over\n			function linkOver(){\n\n				$tooltip.show().css({\n					bottom: marginTop+\'px\'\n                }).animate({\n                    bottom: defaults.distance+marginTop,\n                 opacity: 1\n                }, defaults.speed);\n			}\n\n			// Hover link over\n			function linkOut(){\n\n				$(\'.\'+defaults.classWrapper,this).animate({\n                    bottom: (defaults.distance*1.5)+marginTop,\n                    opacity: 0\n			    }, defaults.speed, function() {\n					$(this).hide();\n				});\n			}\n		});\n	};\n})(jQuery);\n</pre>\n<p>Save your plugin file &#8211; in our case we are going to use &#8211; jquery.dctooltip.1.0.js</p>\n<h3>Using Your jQuery Tooltips Plugin</h3>\n<p>To use your jQuery tooltips now becomes very easy since it&#8217;s wrapped up as a plugin.</p>\n<h4>1. Add the Plugin</h4>\n<p>Add the plugin link to the document head as you would do with any other plugin.

Initialise the jQuery Tooltip Plugin</h4>\n<p>To use the plugin with it&#8217;s default options you can use the following code:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n$(document).ready(function() {\n    $(\'#demo-list li a\').dcTooltip();\n});\n</pre>\n<p>To change any of the default options:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n$(document).ready(function() {\n    $(\'#demo-list li a\').dcTooltip({\n        classWrapper: \'another-tooltip\',\n	hoverDelay: 600,\n	speed: \'slow\',\n	distance: 40\n    });\n});\n</pre>\n<h4>3.

Gallery HTML</h3>\n<p>Our image gallery is going to just be a simple unordered list containing our image thumbnails. For the captions we will use span tags, which will contain a header tag and our main caption text.</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\">\n&lt;ul id=&quot;gallery&quot;&gt;\n	  &lt;li&gt;\n	    &lt;img src=&quot;images/gallery/thumb/img_1a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;\n		&lt;span&gt;\n		  &lt;h3&gt;Image 1&lt;/h3&gt;\n		  This is the caption for the first image\n		&lt;/span&gt;\n	  &lt;/li&gt;\n	  &lt;li&gt;\n	    &lt;img src=&quot;images/gallery/thumb/img_2a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;\n		&lt;span&gt;\n		  &lt;h3&gt;Image 2&lt;/h3&gt;\n		  This is the caption for the second image\n		&lt;/span&gt;\n	  &lt;/li&gt;\n	  &lt;li&gt;\n	    &lt;img src=&quot;images/gallery/thumb/img_3a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;\n		&lt;span&gt;\n		  &lt;h3&gt;Image 3&lt;/h3&gt;\n		  This is the caption for the third image\n		&lt;/span&gt;\n	  &lt;/li&gt;\n	  &lt;li&gt;\n	    &lt;img src=&quot;images/gallery/thumb/img_4a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;\n		&lt;span&gt;\n		  &lt;h3&gt;Image 4&lt;/h3&gt;\n		  This is the caption for the fourth image\n		&lt;/span&gt;\n	  &lt;/li&gt;\n	  &lt;li&gt;\n	    &lt;img src=&quot;images/gallery/thumb/img_5a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;\n		&lt;span&gt;\n		  &lt;h3&gt;Image 5&lt;/h3&gt;\n		  This is the caption for the fifth image\n		&lt;/span&gt;\n	  &lt;/li&gt;\n	  &lt;li&gt;\n	    &lt;img src=&quot;images/gallery/thumb/img_6a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;\n		&lt;span&gt;\n		  &lt;h3&gt;Image 6&lt;/h3&gt;\n		  This is the caption for the last image\n		&lt;/span&gt;\n	  &lt;/li&gt;\n	&lt;/ul&gt;\n</pre>\n<div class=\"clear banner-horizontal\">\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-7740611438413740\";\n/* Banner Mid Post */\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"8625321051\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n//-->\n</script><br />\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js\">\n</script>\n</div>\n<h3>2. The CSS</h3>\n<p>Most of our CSS is just for styling the gallery thumbnails. For our captions we are going to use absolutely positioned span tags so there are a couple of important CSS rules required to make our jquery captions work.</p>\n<p>The CSS below contains some notes to identify which ones we need:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\">\n#gallery {\nmargin-bottom: 20px;\nwidth: 100%;  /* Use this &amp; the overflow: hidden to clear the floated list items */\noverflow: hidden;\n}\n#gallery li {\nfloat: left;\nmargin: 0 3px 3px 0;\nwidth: 214px;\nheight: 131px;\nposition: relative; /* Required for positioning of span tags */\ncolor: #000;\n}\n#gallery li img {\npadding: 6px;\nbackground: #ececec;\nborder: 1px solid #ccc;\n}\n#gallery li h3 {\nfont: bold 11px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;\npadding: 0;\nmargin: 0;\n}\n#gallery li span {\ndisplay: none;  /* Required to hide the captions */\nfont-size: 11px;\nposition: absolute; /* Required for positioning to overlay over image */\nbottom: 7px;\nleft: 7px;\npadding: 5px;\nbackground: url(images/bg_white_trans.png) repeat;\nwidth: 190px; /* Since we are using absolute positioning we need to set the width */\nline-height: 1.2em;\n}\n</pre>\n<p>With the above CSS we are hiding the span tags using display: none &#8211; this means that if the user does not have javascript enabled they will be unable to see the captions. If you want to change this you can set the span tags to not display using jQuery instead.</p>\n<h3>3. The jQuery Code &#8211; Fading Captions</h3>\n<p>Our jQuery is very simple and we can use the hover event, which allows us to add effects for both mouseover and mouseout:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n$(document).ready(function() {\n    $(\'#gallery li\').hover(\n        function(){$(\'span\',this).fadeIn(\'slow\');},\n        function(){$(\'span\',this).fadeOut(\'slow\');\n    });\n});\n</pre>\n<h3>4. The jQuery Code &#8211; Sliding Captions</h3>\n<p>One of the great things about jQuery is its built-in effects, so if we want to change the caption animation from fade in/out to sliding we just change the code as follows:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n$(document).ready(function() {\n    $(\'#gallery li\').hover(\n        function(){$(\'span\',this).slideToggle(\'slow\');},\n        function(){$(\'span\',this).slideToggle(\'slow\');\n    });\n});\n</pre>\n<p><a href=\"/lab/jquery/demo/jquery_demo_slick_jquery_captions.htm\" class=\"demo\">View jQuery Fading Caption Demo</a><a href=\"/lab/jquery/demo/jquery_demo_slick_jquery_sliding_captions.htm\" class=\"demo\">View jQuery Sliding Caption Demo</a><a href=\"/lab/jquery/demo/download/jquery-slick-image-captions.zip\" class=\"demo\">Download Source Files</a></p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?i=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?i=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?i=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:-BTjWOF_DHI\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?i=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:-BTjWOF_DHI\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesignChemical/~4/7WW4PENY4tw\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>\";}s:3:\"wfw\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentrss\";s:85:\"http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/jquery/slick-jquery-image-captions/feed/\";}s:5:\"slash\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";s:1:\"6\";}s:10:\"feedburner\";a:1:{s:8:\"origlink\";s:80:\"http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/jquery/slick-jquery-image-captions/\";}s:7:\"summary\";s:779:\"<a href=\"http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/jquery/slick-jquery-image-captions/\"><img align=\"left\" hspace=\"5\" width=\"150\" src=\"/media/images/jquery_image_captions.jpg\" class=\"alignleft wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" /></a><p class=\"text-center\"><img src=\"/media/images/jquery_image_captions.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s tutorial we are going to show how you can add slick image captions to an image gallery using just a few lines of jQuery and CSS.</p>\n1.

For the captions we will use span tags, which will contain a header tag and our main caption text.</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\">\n&lt;ul id=&quot;gallery&quot;&gt;\n	  &lt;li&gt;\n	    &lt;img src=&quot;images/gallery/thumb/img_1a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;\n		&lt;span&gt;\n		  &lt;h3&gt;Image 1&lt;/h3&gt;\n		  This is the caption for the first image\n		&lt;/span&gt;\n	  &lt;/li&gt;\n	  &lt;li&gt;\n	    &lt;img src=&quot;images/gallery/thumb/img_2a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;\n		&lt;span&gt;\n		  &lt;h3&gt;Image 2&lt;/h3&gt;\n		  This is the caption for the second image\n		&lt;/span&gt;\n	  &lt;/li&gt;\n	  &lt;li&gt;\n	    &lt;img src=&quot;images/gallery/thumb/img_3a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;\n		&lt;span&gt;\n		  &lt;h3&gt;Image 3&lt;/h3&gt;\n		  This is the caption for the third image\n		&lt;/span&gt;\n	  &lt;/li&gt;\n	  &lt;li&gt;\n	    &lt;img src=&quot;images/gallery/thumb/img_4a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;\n		&lt;span&gt;\n		  &lt;h3&gt;Image 4&lt;/h3&gt;\n		  This is the caption for the fourth image\n		&lt;/span&gt;\n	  &lt;/li&gt;\n	  &lt;li&gt;\n	    &lt;img src=&quot;images/gallery/thumb/img_5a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;\n		&lt;span&gt;\n		  &lt;h3&gt;Image 5&lt;/h3&gt;\n		  This is the caption for the fifth image\n		&lt;/span&gt;\n	  &lt;/li&gt;\n	  &lt;li&gt;\n	    &lt;img src=&quot;images/gallery/thumb/img_6a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;\n		&lt;span&gt;\n		  &lt;h3&gt;Image 6&lt;/h3&gt;\n		  This is the caption for the last image\n		&lt;/span&gt;\n	  &lt;/li&gt;\n	&lt;/ul&gt;\n</pre>\n<div class=\"clear banner-horizontal\">\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-7740611438413740\";\n/* Banner Mid Post */\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"8625321051\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n//-->\n</script><br />\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js\">\n</script>\n</div>\n<h3>2. The CSS</h3>\n<p>Most of our CSS is just for styling the gallery thumbnails. For our captions we are going to use absolutely positioned span tags so there are a couple of important CSS rules required to make our jquery captions work.</p>\n<p>The CSS below contains some notes to identify which ones we need:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\">\n#gallery {\nmargin-bottom: 20px;\nwidth: 100%;  /* Use this &amp; the overflow: hidden to clear the floated list items */\noverflow: hidden;\n}\n#gallery li {\nfloat: left;\nmargin: 0 3px 3px 0;\nwidth: 214px;\nheight: 131px;\nposition: relative; /* Required for positioning of span tags */\ncolor: #000;\n}\n#gallery li img {\npadding: 6px;\nbackground: #ececec;\nborder: 1px solid #ccc;\n}\n#gallery li h3 {\nfont: bold 11px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;\npadding: 0;\nmargin: 0;\n}\n#gallery li span {\ndisplay: none;  /* Required to hide the captions */\nfont-size: 11px;\nposition: absolute; /* Required for positioning to overlay over image */\nbottom: 7px;\nleft: 7px;\npadding: 5px;\nbackground: url(images/bg_white_trans.png) repeat;\nwidth: 190px; /* Since we are using absolute positioning we need to set the width */\nline-height: 1.2em;\n}\n</pre>\n<p>With the above CSS we are hiding the span tags using display: none &#8211; this means that if the user does not have javascript enabled they will be unable to see the captions. If you want to change this you can set the span tags to not display using jQuery instead.</p>\n<h3>3. The jQuery Code &#8211; Fading Captions</h3>\n<p>Our jQuery is very simple and we can use the hover event, which allows us to add effects for both mouseover and mouseout:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n$(document).ready(function() {\n    $(\'#gallery li\').hover(\n        function(){$(\'span\',this).fadeIn(\'slow\');},\n        function(){$(\'span\',this).fadeOut(\'slow\');\n    });\n});\n</pre>\n<h3>4. The jQuery Code &#8211; Sliding Captions</h3>\n<p>One of the great things about jQuery is its built-in effects, so if we want to change the caption animation from fade in/out to sliding we just change the code as follows:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\">\n$(document).ready(function() {\n    $(\'#gallery li\').hover(\n        function(){$(\'span\',this).slideToggle(\'slow\');},\n        function(){$(\'span\',this).slideToggle(\'slow\');\n    });\n});\n</pre>\n<p><a href=\"/lab/jquery/demo/jquery_demo_slick_jquery_captions.htm\" class=\"demo\">View jQuery Fading Caption Demo</a><a href=\"/lab/jquery/demo/jquery_demo_slick_jquery_sliding_captions.htm\" class=\"demo\">View jQuery Sliding Caption Demo</a><a href=\"/lab/jquery/demo/download/jquery-slick-image-captions.zip\" class=\"demo\">Download Source Files</a></p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?i=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?i=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?i=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"></img></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?a=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:-BTjWOF_DHI\"><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DesignChemical?i=7WW4PENY4tw:Ar1YQfnQ244:-BTjWOF_DHI\" border=\"0\"></img></a>\n</div><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesignChemical/~4/7WW4PENY4tw\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"/>\";}i:23;a:14:{s:5:\"title\";s:54:\"Open External Links In New Browser Window Using jQuery\";s:4:\"link\";s:61:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DesignChemical/~3/nAETgXpvz4Y/\";s:8:\"comments\";s:116:\"http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/jquery/open-external-links-in-new-browser-window-using-jquery/#comments\";s:7:\"pubdate\";s:31:\"Wed, 06 Apr 2011 03:16:29 +0000\";s:2:\"dc\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";s:3:\"Lee\";}s:8:\"category\";s:47:\"jQueryTutorialsWebsite Codingnavigationtutorial\";s:4:\"guid\";s:42:\"http://www.designchemical.com/blog/?p=1623\";s:11:\"description\";s:799:\"<a href=\"http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/jquery/open-external-links-in-new-browser-window-using-jquery/\"><img align=\"left\" hspace=\"5\" width=\"150\" src=\"http://www.designchemical.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/thumbnail-for-excerpts/jquery_code.png\" class=\"alignleft wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" /></a><p>Since one of our earlier posts &#8211; How To Open Links In a New Browser Window we have had requests at how this can be automated so that only external links are opened in a new window without having to add class &#8220;external&#8221; to every link.</p>\n<p>This can be done in a couple of ways depending on how your links &#8230; <a href=\"http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/jquery/open-external-links-in-new-browser-window-using-jquery/\" class=\"read_more\">more</a></p>\";s:7:\"content\";a:1:{s:7:\"encoded\";s:3224:\"<p>Since one of our earlier posts &#8211; <a href=\"/blog/index.php/jquery/open-links-in-new-browser-window-using-jquery/\">How To Open Links In a New Browser Window</a> we have had requests at how this can be automated so that only external links are opened in a new window without having to add class &#8220;external&#8221; to every link.</p>\n<p>This can be done in a couple of ways depending on how your links are structured.

In addition to the basic minimum styles required to create the vertical mega menu we will add a drop-shadow to the menu container and also customise all 3 of the sub-menus.</p>\n<h4>Footwear Custom Menu</h4>\n<p>For this menu we will customise each row to add labels showing Mens/Ladies as well as add background images for each of the product groups.</p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><img src=\"/media/images/custom_vertical_mega_menu_1.jpg\" alt=\"Footwear Custom Menu\" /></p>\n<h4>Jackets Sub-Menu</h4>\n<p>Usually the mega menu works best with 3 levels of navigation. The jackets sub-menu gives an example of how you can still customise the mega menu with only 2 menu levels.</p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><img src=\"/media/images/custom_vertical_mega_menu_2.jpg\" alt=\"Jackets Custom Menu\" /></p>\n<h4>Sports Bags Sub-Menu</h4>\n<p>Add background images to each sub-menu.</p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><img src=\"/media/images/custom_vertical_mega_menu_3.jpg\" alt=\"Sports Bags Custom Menu\" /></p>\n<h3>Creating The Vertical Mega Menu</h3>\n<h4>The Basic Mega Menu CSS</h4>\n<p>The following CSS code gives the minimum styling required to create the standard mega menu structure without any specifc styles for the menu options. Using this code our menu looks like this:</p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><img src=\"/media/images/basic_vertical_mega_menu_1.jpg\" alt=\"Basic Mega Menu\" /></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lab/demo-basic-vertical-mega-menu-styling/\" class=\"demo\">View Basic Mega Menu Demo</a></p>\n<p class=\"clear\">Still mega but definitely not as pretty!</p>\n<div class=\"banner-horizontal\">\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-7740611438413740\";\n/* Banner Mid Post */\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"8625321051\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n//-->\n</script><br />\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js\">\n</script>\n</div>\n<p>The CSS contains notes on any essential styles</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\">\n/* Main menu styling */\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li a {\ndisplay: block;\ncolor: #000;\npadding: 11px 38px 11px 25px;\ntext-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #fff;\ntext-decoration: none;\nborder-bottom: 1px solid #999;\nbackground: url(images/bg_nav.png) repeat-x 0 0;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li a:hover, .dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li.mega-hover a {\nbackground-position: 0 -40px;\ncolor: #fff;\ntext-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #000;\n}\n\n/* Add arrow icon to parent links */\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li a.dc-mega {\nposition: relative; /* Required since icons are positioned absolutely */\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li a .dc-mega-icon {\ndisplay: block;\nposition: absolute;\ntop: 14px;\nright: 15px;\nwidth: 6px;\nheight: 8px;\nbackground: url(images/arrow_right.png) no-repeat -6px 0;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li a:hover .dc-mega-icon, .dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li.mega-hover a .dc-mega-icon {\nbackground-position: 0 0;\n}\n\n/* Mega menu container */\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub-container {\nposition: absolute; /* Required */\noverflow: hidden;\nbackground: url(images/bg_menu.png) no-repeat 100% 100%; /* Add the drop shadow image */\npadding: 0 13px 17px 0; /* Padding for drop shadow */\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub-container .sub {\nborder: none;\npadding: 15px 15px 5px 15px;\nbackground: #fff url(images/bg_grad_top.png) repeat-x 0 0;\nborder-top: 1px solid #ccc;\nborder-right: 1px solid #bbb;\nborder-bottom: 1px solid #bbb;\nborder-left: 1px solid #ccc;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub .row {\nwidth: 100%; overflow: hidden; /* Required to clear floats for each row */\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub li {\nfloat: none;\nwidth: 160px; /* Set sub-menu width */\nfont-weight: normal;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub li.mega-hdr {\nfloat: left; /* Required */\nmargin: 0 5px 10px 5px;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub a, .dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu.left li .sub a {\nbackground: none;\nborder: none;\ntext-shadow: none;\nfloat: none;\ncolor: #000;\ndisplay: block;\ntext-decoration: none;\nfont-size: 0.9em;\nmargin-bottom: 0;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub li.mega-hdr a.mega-hdr-a { /* Sub-menu headings */\nbackground: url(images/bg_nav.png) repeat-x 0 -40px;\npadding: 5px;\nmargin-bottom: 5px;\ntext-transform: uppercase;\nfont-weight: bold;\ncolor: #fff;\ntext-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #000;\ntext-align: center;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub li.mega-hdr a.mega-hdr-a:hover {\ncolor: #000;\ntext-shadow: none;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu .sub li.mega-hdr li {\nmargin-bottom: 3px;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu .sub li a {\npadding: 3px 3px 3px 15px;\nbackground: url(images/bullet.png) no-repeat 3px 8px;\nfont-weight: normal;\ntext-transform: capitalize; font-size: 12px;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu .sub li a:hover {\ncolor: #fff;\nbackground: #000 url(images/bullet_white.png) no-repeat 5px 8px;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu .sub ul li {\npadding-right: 0;\n}\n\n/* Styling for menu items with only 2 levels */\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub-container.non-mega .sub {\npadding: 10px;\nbackground: #fff;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub-container.non-mega li {\npadding: 0;\nmargin: 0;\nwidth: 150px;\nfloat: none;\n}\n</pre>\n<h4>Custom Styling</h4>\n<p>In order to customise the menu you will need the menu item ID&#8217;s that WordPress automatically assigns to the HTML list items. To get these you can view the source code for the menu in your own site. The ID follows the format &#8220;menu-item-#&#8221;, where # is a unique number assigned by WordPress.</p>\n<p>It can get a little confusing wading through the source code so it&#8217;s best to work out first which items need to have additional CSS rules. The list items that will be customised and their ID&#8217;s in our demo are:</p>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>Footwear (ID menu-item-1) &#8211; For adding the &#8220;Mens&#8221; &amp; &#8220;Ladies&#8221; labels to the rows</li>\n<li>Nike Mens (ID menu-item-4)</li>\n<li>Adidas Mens (ID menu-item-6)</li>\n<li>Gola Mens (ID menu-item-7)</li>\n<li>Nike Ladies (ID menu-item-8)</li>\n<li>Adidas Ladies (ID menu-item-10)</li>\n<li>Gola Ladies (ID menu-item-11)</li>\n</ul>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>Jackets (ID menu-item-2) &#8211; Overide the standard styling for only 2 levels of navigation</li>\n<li>Jacket 1 (ID menu-item-12)</li>\n<li>Jacket 2 (ID menu-item-13)</li>\n<li>Jacket 3 (ID menu-item-14)</li>\n</ul>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>Sports Bags (ID menu-item-3) &#8211; Add padding to top of all bag sub-menus</li>\n<li>Golf Bags (ID menu-item-15)</li>\n<li>Sports Bags (ID menu-item-17)</li>\n<li>Tennis Bags (ID menu-item-18)</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>Custom CSS For Footwear</h4>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\">\n/* Footwear */\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li#menu-item-1 .sub .row {\npadding: 10px 10px 0 40px; /* Pad the rows to add the background labels */\nmargin-bottom: 10px;\nborder: 1px solid #ccc;\nbackground: url(images/mens.png) no-repeat 0 center; /* Mens row background image */\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li#menu-item-1 .sub .row.last {\nbackground-image: url(images/ladies.png); /* Ladies row background image */\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li#menu-item-1 .sub li.mega-hdr {\npadding: 75px 0 0; /* Padding for top of each sub-menu for background images */\n}\n\n/* Add the background images */\nli#menu-item-4.mega-hdr {background: url(images/nike.png) no-repeat center 0;}\nli#menu-item-6.mega-hdr {background: url(images/adidas_1.jpg) no-repeat center 0;}\nli#menu-item-7.mega-hdr {background: url(images/gola_1.jpg) no-repeat center 0;}\nli#menu-item-8.mega-hdr {background: url(images/nike_2.jpg) no-repeat center 0;}\nli#menu-item-10.mega-hdr {background: url(images/adidas_2.jpg) no-repeat center 0;}\nli#menu-item-11.mega-hdr {background: url(images/gola_2.jpg) no-repeat center 0;}\n</pre>\n<h4>Custom CSS For Jackets</h4>\n<p>The jackets are slightly different to the other 2 since the menu only have 2 levels of navigation.

In addition to the basic minimum styles required to create the vertical mega menu we will add a drop-shadow to the menu container and also customise all 3 of the sub-menus.</p>\n<h4>Footwear Custom Menu</h4>\n<p>For this menu we will customise each row to add labels showing Mens/Ladies as well as add background images for each of the product groups.</p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><img src=\"/media/images/custom_vertical_mega_menu_1.jpg\" alt=\"Footwear Custom Menu\" /></p>\n<h4>Jackets Sub-Menu</h4>\n<p>Usually the mega menu works best with 3 levels of navigation. The jackets sub-menu gives an example of how you can still customise the mega menu with only 2 menu levels.</p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><img src=\"/media/images/custom_vertical_mega_menu_2.jpg\" alt=\"Jackets Custom Menu\" /></p>\n<h4>Sports Bags Sub-Menu</h4>\n<p>Add background images to each sub-menu.</p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><img src=\"/media/images/custom_vertical_mega_menu_3.jpg\" alt=\"Sports Bags Custom Menu\" /></p>\n<h3>Creating The Vertical Mega Menu</h3>\n<h4>The Basic Mega Menu CSS</h4>\n<p>The following CSS code gives the minimum styling required to create the standard mega menu structure without any specifc styles for the menu options. Using this code our menu looks like this:</p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><img src=\"/media/images/basic_vertical_mega_menu_1.jpg\" alt=\"Basic Mega Menu\" /></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lab/demo-basic-vertical-mega-menu-styling/\" class=\"demo\">View Basic Mega Menu Demo</a></p>\n<p class=\"clear\">Still mega but definitely not as pretty!</p>\n<div class=\"banner-horizontal\">\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-7740611438413740\";\n/* Banner Mid Post */\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"8625321051\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n//-->\n</script><br />\n<script type=\"text/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js\">\n</script>\n</div>\n<p>The CSS contains notes on any essential styles</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\">\n/* Main menu styling */\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li a {\ndisplay: block;\ncolor: #000;\npadding: 11px 38px 11px 25px;\ntext-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #fff;\ntext-decoration: none;\nborder-bottom: 1px solid #999;\nbackground: url(images/bg_nav.png) repeat-x 0 0;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li a:hover, .dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li.mega-hover a {\nbackground-position: 0 -40px;\ncolor: #fff;\ntext-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #000;\n}\n\n/* Add arrow icon to parent links */\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li a.dc-mega {\nposition: relative; /* Required since icons are positioned absolutely */\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li a .dc-mega-icon {\ndisplay: block;\nposition: absolute;\ntop: 14px;\nright: 15px;\nwidth: 6px;\nheight: 8px;\nbackground: url(images/arrow_right.png) no-repeat -6px 0;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li a:hover .dc-mega-icon, .dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li.mega-hover a .dc-mega-icon {\nbackground-position: 0 0;\n}\n\n/* Mega menu container */\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub-container {\nposition: absolute; /* Required */\noverflow: hidden;\nbackground: url(images/bg_menu.png) no-repeat 100% 100%; /* Add the drop shadow image */\npadding: 0 13px 17px 0; /* Padding for drop shadow */\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub-container .sub {\nborder: none;\npadding: 15px 15px 5px 15px;\nbackground: #fff url(images/bg_grad_top.png) repeat-x 0 0;\nborder-top: 1px solid #ccc;\nborder-right: 1px solid #bbb;\nborder-bottom: 1px solid #bbb;\nborder-left: 1px solid #ccc;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub .row {\nwidth: 100%; overflow: hidden; /* Required to clear floats for each row */\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub li {\nfloat: none;\nwidth: 160px; /* Set sub-menu width */\nfont-weight: normal;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub li.mega-hdr {\nfloat: left; /* Required */\nmargin: 0 5px 10px 5px;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub a, .dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu.left li .sub a {\nbackground: none;\nborder: none;\ntext-shadow: none;\nfloat: none;\ncolor: #000;\ndisplay: block;\ntext-decoration: none;\nfont-size: 0.9em;\nmargin-bottom: 0;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub li.mega-hdr a.mega-hdr-a { /* Sub-menu headings */\nbackground: url(images/bg_nav.png) repeat-x 0 -40px;\npadding: 5px;\nmargin-bottom: 5px;\ntext-transform: uppercase;\nfont-weight: bold;\ncolor: #fff;\ntext-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #000;\ntext-align: center;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub li.mega-hdr a.mega-hdr-a:hover {\ncolor: #000;\ntext-shadow: none;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu .sub li.mega-hdr li {\nmargin-bottom: 3px;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu .sub li a {\npadding: 3px 3px 3px 15px;\nbackground: url(images/bullet.png) no-repeat 3px 8px;\nfont-weight: normal;\ntext-transform: capitalize; font-size: 12px;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu .sub li a:hover {\ncolor: #fff;\nbackground: #000 url(images/bullet_white.png) no-repeat 5px 8px;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu .sub ul li {\npadding-right: 0;\n}\n\n/* Styling for menu items with only 2 levels */\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub-container.non-mega .sub {\npadding: 10px;\nbackground: #fff;\n}\n.dcjq-vertical-mega-menu .menu li .sub-container.non-mega li {\npadding: 0;\nmargin: 0;\nwidth: 150px;\nfloat: none;\n}\n</pre>\n<h4>Custom Styling</h4>\n<p>In order to customise the menu you will need the menu item ID&#8217;s that WordPress automatically assigns to the HTML list items.

While many people had been hotly anticipating the iPhone 5 they felt a little bit let down by the 4S that finally made an appearance. Despite some disappointment being voiced on all corners of the internet the iPhone 4S is still the most powerful and feature filled iPhone to date, and looks set to be the biggest selling too. So how does the device fare and what are its best features?</p><h3>Processor</h3><p>The iPhone 5 comes with the same processor as the iPad 2 – the A5 chip. This is a very powerful 1GHz dual core processor means the new iPhone has twice the power of the iPhone 4 and means it is far more capable of performing numerous activities efficiently. This is in addition to the new GPU which means the phone now has seven times the graphical processing power of the original and has some amazing capabilities.</p><p>Not only is this the fastest iPhone yet, but it is also the fastest smartphone on the market. Even though some Android handsets such as the Galaxy S2 and HTC Sensation have faster 1.2GHz processors, the iPhone 4S outperforms them in numerous speed tests and performance trials.</p><h3>Camera</h3><p>The iPhone 4S comes with a new 8MP camera, which is capable of 1080p video recording. This ensures that the device is more than equal to many of those other premium phones out there. The new iPhone combines this with the already existing Retina display to great effect. The iPhone 4S produces some fantastic images and is a huge leap compared to the iPhone 4’s 5MP camera.</p><p>Even though this camera may sound like it is just matching what is already available on the current top end smartphones, the iPhone 4S&#8217; camera offers a picture quality that cannot truly be conveyed in terms of megapixels. Thanks to an improved lens and CMOS as well as a new IR filter and Image Signal Processor, the camera on the iPhone 4S offers some of the highest quality, vibrant and crystal clear images that can be found on a smartphone camera.</p><p>Not only has the camera seen an improvement but the way that you interact with the camera has improved too. You can now gain direct access to the camera app by double tapping to home button, and can even take photos with a physical camera button by appropriating the volume controls on the side of the phone. All of the technical upgrades made to this camera by Apple make it one of the fastest cameras found on a smartphone, allowing you take a picture (theoretically) every half a second.</p><h3>Antenna</h3><p>The new iPhone 4S comes with dual antennas. This means that the phone is capable of switching from one antenna to another, depending on which signal is stronger. This is a great help and a jump from the iPhone 4 and the antenna issues that plagued its release. This will also mean a more solid internet connection and really improves the devices standing in this area which is an important leap forward.</p><p>One of the reasons that Apple were able to make the iPhone 4 so slim and pocketable was that they added the antenna around the side of the handset, rather than inside the casing. While this was a great leap forward in terms of design it had the unfortunate effect of cutting out phone signal while the iPhone was being held in a certain position. The new dual antennas completely remove this problem for the iPhone 4S.</p><h3>iOS 5</h3><p>The new operating system has been one of the most important Apple developments of recent years and comes with an array of new software features earlier iPhones didn’t have. This new iOS 5 allows for notifications in a similar way to Android, has iMessage a new improved Newsstand and Reader feature. It also comes with wireless iCloud support which means it is able to connect wirelessly.</p><p>iMessage is Apple&#8217;s version of BlackBerry Messenger and allows iPhone users to chat to each other over the internet. This can be used by iPhone users in a similar manner to SMS messages, except iMessage does not incur a charge like SMS does. iMessage also allows users to send pictures and videos to each other, use smileys and emoticons and even see when the other person is typing.</p><p>Another great social feature that has been added is Find my Friends. This allows you to find the location of your friends on a map. You can use this to locate friends at a gig or even to help direct people to your home in case they should get lost.</p><p>While many of these features are now available to all iPhone users via a software update, the main attraction of the iPhone 4S&#8217; interface is only available on the iPhone 4S: Siri.</p><h3>Siri</h3><p>The Siri feature is the most advanced voice control feature ever and allows for voice control to become a feasible option on phones. This technology means you can dictate messages, what you want apps to do, as well as note entries with complete accuracy.</p><p>While there are voice controls on many smartphones today, these are usually limited to a certain feature, such as searching Google. Siri is different in that it covers every aspect of the iPhone 4S&#8217; use. You can search Google, but you can also type emails and messages, find out the weather or plan events in your calendar.</p><p>Another benefit of Siri is that it truly understands what you are saying. Earlier attempts at voice control had relied on a small set of verbal instructions that must be used for the software to understand your commands. Siri will understand what you mean even if you phrase it in a number of different ways.</p><p>Apple always keep hush hush about their latest products prior to launch, and before October 4th everyone was eagerly awaiting the launch of the iPhone 5. There was also talk of a &#8220;smaller&#8221; and &#8220;less feature filled&#8221; version of the iPhone 4 known as the iPhone 4S. This is why a lot of people felt a bit let down by the 4S when it was launched. Even though it looks very similar to the iPhone 4, the iPhone 4S comes with a great number of new features that clearly set it apart as a superior device.</p><p>This is a guest post by Simon who writes for <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.best-mobile-contracts.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">Best Mobile Contracts</a>, the UK&#8217;s top mobile phone comparison website where you can find all the very latest <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.best-mobile-contracts.co.uk/phones/Apple-iPhone-4S.aspx\">iPhone 4S deals</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href=\'http://letusbuzz.com/2011/08/google-releases-new-photo-sharing-social-network/\' rel=\'bookmark\' title=\'Google Releases New Photo-Sharing Social Network\'>Google Releases New Photo-Sharing Social Network</a></li><li><a href=\'http://letusbuzz.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-smartphone-video-review/\' rel=\'bookmark\' title=\'SAMSUNG GALAXY S II Smartphone [Video Review]\'>SAMSUNG GALAXY S II Smartphone [Video Review]</a></li><li><a href=\'http://letusbuzz.com/2010/09/ie-9-review-the-newest-and-the-most-advanced-browser/\' rel=\'bookmark\' title=\'IE 9 Review &ndash;

There are so many tools that could help you out with your problem. One of these tools is the SEO software. What are the reasons why we must use an SEO software?</p><p>The number one reason why you should use an SEO software is that you want to direct viewers into your website. Using this would give you a strategy on your marketing plan that would eventually increase the number of visitors into your website. You must have an effective search engine marketing plan in order to survive. SEO software can help you with that.</p><p>SEO software saves you time. You can do this by automating jobs that would consume so much time. One example for this is backlinking. Major amount of backlinks are needed in your own web page in order for you to enter in Google’s search pages. Doing this manually would not work out today because almost all internet marketers use SEO software or even SEO services that would enable them to accomplish the backlinking jobs intended for their websites. So, it is way beyond your thinking that you can surpass your competitors by doing your manual technique of backlinking. Having an SEO software gives you convenience. It is not only backlinking that you can do with your SEO software. You can also perform article distribution, and many more. Through an SEO software, you can accomplish all these task without even having a sweat. This would allow you to multitask by doing things simultaneously.</p><p>Another reason why SEO software is a must is that jobs tend to get dull if you keep on doing it through out your life time. SEO software helps you from getting bored by automating a vast number of jobs and implementing those jobs without any issues. You don’t get any complaints that you didn’t duly accomplish your duties because you were absent or you were so lazy in finishing things.</p><p>SEO programs can now track your progress. This means that you will no longer swamp yourself with a lot of activities to finish. You would also save time in tracking all of the links that you have made, the websites that you have created, and the accounts that you registered to. Practically, having an SEO software saves you manpower also since it generally is a one man team. Through its monitoring ability, it gives you the benefit of reducing human error.</p><p>If you wish to make your life a simple, peaceful, and relaxed, then get yourself the software that would help you do it.</p><p><em>This is a Guest post by Matthew who works for a web design and web development company specializing in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.go-gulf.com/\"

Its usefulness and advantage lie on an essential foundation in computing, that of customization. Plugins can be used to customize certain functions of an application. This in effect will enhance and enlarge the functionality of your application. But are they useful to your blog? Of course they are useful for the following reasons</p><h3>1. They enable other developers to attach extra applications to your blog.</h3><p>Extras or extra applications are basic to any blog. A blog devoid of any extras won’t be considered a blog nowadays. Plugins enable other developers to attach these extra applications to your blog with ease. Now your blog will not only be visually appealing, it would also be appealing application wise. So expect more visitors to your blog.</p><h3>2. They easily allow new features to be added.</h3><p>Features are the attraction of blogs. No feature, no attraction as well. The drawback of features is that its life cycle has somehow shortened. What may be an attractive feature that will last for a year, may only last for months, even weeks. Updating and adding new features can be done with ease using plugins. That is the way to go.</p><h3>3. They allow for more capacity through file reduction.</h3><p>With the volume of data and information being sent, shared and stored, more capacity to your blog means more opportunities. Plugins allow for file sharing and more importantly file reduction. Large files can now be stored in extremely small storage file formats thanks to plugins. You will now increase your capacity to accept more from your visitors.</p><h3>4. They can screen applications that may slow down your blog.</h3><p>Speed is of the essence in your blog. Plugins allow you, automatically, to screen application that may slow down your blog. There are a host of application that slow down, instead of speed up your blog. Plugins will allow you the luxury of screening these applications automatically. It is hassle free on your part.</p><p>Plugins are indeed useful. No matter what perspective you look at it, plugins give you one benefit after another. The only thing to remember is to decide which plugin you want for your blog. As a general rule, select plugins that;</p><ol><li>are easy to attach to your blog,</li><li>are loaded with features that are easy to upgrade,</li><li>are capable of increasing your file capacity to the brim, and</li><li>are loaded with a feature that can automatically screen certain applications that may cause your blog to slow down.

You don&#8217;t need to use all of them on your site but the list will of course help you in finding a plugin as per your need. All plugins listed here are the best in what they do.</p><h3>Essential Plugins (Every blog must have)</h3><p><strong>1. Google XML Sitemap &#8211; </strong>It generates XML sitemap of your site. This sitemap helps search engines to crawl your sites properly and without any difficulty.<strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a></strong></p><p><strong>2. FeedBurner FeedSmith</strong> &#8211; This plugin redirects all wordpress feeds (posts and comments) to a respective feedburner link. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedburner-setting/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a></p><p><strong>3. Limit Login Attempts -  </strong>If you don&#8217;t have this plugin installed then all I can do is pray to GOD and ask him to protect your blog from hackers. This plugin limits the login attempt for a user. After the set number of failed attempts, this plugin blocks the IP of that person and a set time period. Not only that the plugin notifies the administrator for failed attempts.<strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/limit-login-attempts/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>4. W3 Total Cache &#8211; </strong>Every blog must have a site cache plugin installed if you are hosting your site on a shared hosting service.  A cache plugin help in reducing the load on your hosting server and also your site loads faster. I prefer W3 Total cache because this suits best for my blog (compatible with other plugins and theme).<strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>5. WP-DBmanager &#8211; </strong>This plugin is for easy backup, restore or repairing of your database. There are options in this plugin which will let you take automatic backup of database on regular intervals and also email a copy of the backup database to your email address.  <strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-dbmanager/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>6. Google Analytics for WordPress &#8211; </strong>For easy insertion of Google analytics code into your sites. This plugin has some advance setting which will let you see customized reports in your Google analytics dashboard.<strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><br /> </strong></p><h3>SEO Plugins</h3><p><strong>1. All in one SEO &#8211; </strong>All in on SEO plugin adds meta tags to your pages automatically. Meta tags helps the search engine bots to identify the content of the page properly and ranks your pages higher on search engines for a keyword. Its the most popular plugin on wordpress for handling overall SEO of a wordpress site.<strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>2. Yet Another Related Posts Plugin &#8211; </strong>This is no doubt is the best related post plugin. The things that I like about this plugin is that it is highly customizable and also all related posts links are visible to search engine bots too. Hence it also helps in the SEO of the site. <strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>3. Permalink Finder- </strong>Permalink finder redirects your visitors to a correct page or a matching page for page not found. So it helps you in reducing page not found errors.<strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/permalink-finder/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><strong></strong><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>4. SEO Smart Links- </strong>This plugin automatically link keywords and phrases in your posts and comments with corresponding posts, pages, categories and tags on your blog. This is again an important plugin which helps in overall SEO of your website.<strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-automatic-links/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><strong></strong><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>5. Smart 404 &#8211; </strong>This plugin displays a lists all matching posts of the URL for page not found on your website. It helps in reducing a bounce back from your site in case of page not found errors. <strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smart-404/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><br /> </strong></p><h3>Commenting System</h3><p><strong>1. Disqus Comment System &#8211; </strong>Somehow I don&#8217;t like the default wordpress commenting system. The major reason being the wordpress default commenting system is prone to spam. Implementing a captcha will reduce the spam but will also discourage your visitors from commenting. For this reason I implemented Disqus. With disqus I get 2-3 spams in a week. <strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disqus-comment-system/\" target=\"_blank\">Link<strong></strong></a><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>2. Akismet &#8211; </strong>One good thing about Disqus is that it supports Akismet. Akismet is a service by the wordpress developers to check your comments for spams.<strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/akismet/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><strong></strong><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>3. Disqus Widget &#8211; </strong>If you scroll down to the bottom of this page you will see a light blue widget showing recent comments. This Disqus widget plugin and is only applicable for your blog if you are using Disqus comment system.<strong><strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disqus-widget/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a></strong><br /> </strong></p><h3>Advertising and Adsense</h3><p><strong>1. Quick Adsense &#8211; </strong>Its a very good plugin and helps you in implementing adsense very easily on your website<strong>. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-adsense/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><strong></strong><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>2. Author Advertising -  </strong>This is a revenue sharing blog and the author an article is allowed to keep the 100% of the revenue generated from his published articles on this site. This plugin helps you in implementing the revenue sharing model for your website. If you like to write for this site then read the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://letusbuzz.com/guest-blogging/\">guest blogging rules</a><strong>. <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/author-advertising-plugin/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><strong></strong><br /> </strong></p><h3>Mobile Browser</h3><p><strong>1. MobilePress &#8211; </strong>If you browse this site on a mobile device or a mobile phone then you will find that its not the not normal Letusbuzz site that you see on a computer/laptop. You will find a much simpler but look alike version of the site. MobilePress Plugin checks the device that you are browsing the site and provides a content compatible for that browser. This site is compatible with very low end Chinese phone to a high end mobile phones like Iphone and Android phones.<strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mobilepress/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><br /> </strong></p><h3>Social Sharing</h3><p><strong>1. Tweet, Like, Google +1 and Share &#8211; </strong>A simple social sharing plugin with huge list of options. Not only that this plugin is very light and do not slow down your site load time<strong>. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/only-tweet-like-share-and-google-1/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><strong></strong><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>2. Scrolling Twitter Like Google +1 Linkedin and Stumbleupon -</strong> This is a very stylish scrolling sharebar plugin. Very sleek in design and the icons stay hidden and do not cluster your webpage. If you are looking for a simple sharebar the kind of sharebar sites like Mashable has then you should try out <strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/scrolling-social-sharebar/\" target=\"_blank\">Scrolling social sharebar plugin</a></strong>.<strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/scrolling-twitter-like-google-plusone-linkedin-and-stumbleupon/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><br /> </strong></p><h3>Few others</h3><p><strong>1. Gtranslate -  </strong>Helps users to translate the content of the site to a language that they speak and understand<strong>. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gtranslate\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><strong></strong><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>2. Syntax Highlighter ComPress &#8211; </strong>This a code syntax highlighting plugin which helps in coloring the published code for better understandability<strong>. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntax-highlighter-compress/\" target=\"_blank\">Link</a><strong></strong><br /> </strong></p><p><strong>3. Simple Trackback Validation with Topsy Blocker &#8211; </strong>As the name suggest it validates trackbacks and blocks all trackbacks that are sent by Topsy. This is again a plugin for reducing spams. <strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-trackback-validation-with-topsy-blocker/\"

If you are static and stagnant, the search engines won’t pick up your blog. Stagnant blogs don’t make it to the search engine search. So, it is a choice between update or stagnate.</p><h3> The right way to blog updates are:</h3><h4>Update Your Blog With New Information</h4><p>Updating with new information tops the list. You must update your blog with the proper SEO tools and update with new information. New information is information that other people cannot find elsewhere. It can also be information that they can find elsewhere but they cannot find it, in such detail, elsewhere. This new information keeps your blog new and fresh every day. Your blog readership then is maintained and new readers added.</p><h4>Update Your blog using Promotions</h4><p>Promote your blog on a regular basis. You can do this on your blog. You can also do this, by being a guest blogger in other blogs. In this way, you can promote both your blog and the other person’s blog. Being active is the key to promoting. Blog activity brings a certain appeal to your blog and it increases your true potential.</p><h4>Update your blog by Interaction</h4><p>Update bearing in mind the interaction of your readers. While there are numerous topics and social platforms around, take note of the interaction of your readers. Keep track of activity around your blog and use this interaction as a basis for your update. Don’t be discouraged when there are few initial visits. Just continue to post new content to your blog. Your consistency will pay-off.</p><h4>Update your blog by Staying Sharp</h4><p>There is a world out there of content-rich opportunity, so stay sharp. Look for small opportunities. Look for topic gaps that many may overlook. Look at the world around you from a different angle, from a different perspective. Be observant about anything you see or notice every day. They can come in handy, if they are related or they have relevance to your blog.</p><p>There is always a right way to do things. Blog updates are no exception. While there is an abundance of tools, SEO tools and other tools to bring vitality to your blog, the right way is still the best way. Update with your potential reader in mind. And channel all your energy to it. Update with new information, with your reader in mind. Update by promotion, interaction, with still your reader in mind. And finally stay sharp with your reader in mind. That is the right way to update.</p><p><em>Sarvesh, a student &amp; blogger works with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.webhostingclue.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Reliable Web hosting</a> Company Webhostingclue, which provides the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.webhostingclue.com/best-wordpress-hosting\" target=\"_blank\">best wordpress hosting</a>.</em></p><p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href=\'http://letusbuzz.com/2010/10/how-to-submit-your-blog-to-technorati/\' rel=\'bookmark\' title=\'How to submit your blog to Technorati\'>How to submit your blog to Technorati</a></li><li><a href=\'http://letusbuzz.com/2011/09/plugins-how-are-they-useful-to-your-blog/\' rel=\'bookmark\' title=\'Plugins &#8211;

Often writers will compare Google+’s features to its most obvious social media rival, Facebook. Even though Google+ is a young service (even by web standards), it still seems to be giving Facebook and other competitors a run for their money. What follows is a brief comparison of the two services on basic components that make a social media tool appealing: networking, sharing, and privacy.</p><h3>Networking</h3><p>Right off the bat, we can recognize that Facebook (as of now) vastly outshines Google+’s networking potential. Facebook users number in the hundreds of millions (over 750 million “active” users according to Facebook), and their number is growing rapidly. If you start a Facebook profile today, statistically you have a much greater chance of building a network among like-minded peers than you would on Google+. One could argue that Google+ has a superior system of networking because the service draws on a person’s contacts from a person’s other social media profiles (like Gmail) in order to start the user with core contacts. You may find familiar faces on Google+, but the number of potential connections is nothing compared with those possible on Facebook.</p><h3>Sharing</h3><p>This component showcases Google+’s edge over Facebook. Google+’s circles feature allows the user to separate their contacts into group based on the user’s preference, and the user can then choose to share information with one group and withhold it from another. Jaded Facebook users will often complain of the uninteresting and annoying content that fills their walls, often from Facebook users whose activities they have no real interest in. While you can block information from certain profiles on Facebook, this must be done so on a case-by-case basis. With Google+ you can have contacts that you may be obligated to add, but you won’t be forced to share information with them unless you want to.</p><h3>Privacy</h3><p>Privacy is a sticking point for both services, but for different reasons. Google+ requires the user to input their real name in order to discourage users who would create fake profiles. Opponents of Google+’s approach argue that some people, like writers working under pseudonyms, require anonymity in their online life. Google has been adamant in maintaining this policy so that Google+ can be free of fake profiles which thrive on other social media services. Just recently Facebook announced plans to strengthen user privacy using methods that sound a lot like those offered on Google+. Some Facebook users complain that the service has a confusing privacy policy; the social media giant seems more interested in these concerns with a major competitor in the field.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Both services have their merits, but it’s ultimately up to you to decide which works for you. Google+ has its flaws but it’s a new service with a lot of potential as a useful social networking tool (and backing by the biggest company in the industry). Facebook also has endless opportunity to innovate, growing in users every day.

title=\"vaultpress-logo\" width=\"236\" height=\"78\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3590\" /></a>VaultPress has announced that the latest edition of the plugin now <a href=\"http://blog.vaultpress.com/2011/11/14/announcing-multisite-support/\">supports WordPress Multisite</a>. This has been a killer feature that owners of large multisite installs have been waiting for. VaultPress will automatically backup each site that is installed within the network. However, it must be noted that only the Network&#8217;s main site will have their users table, plugins, and themes backed up. For non-main sites, VaultPress will not backup users, plugins, or themes. </p>\n<p>The money maker for VaultPress lies within the fact that each site within the network will require it&#8217;s own subscription as if they were individual sites. There is not a plan that specifically covers multisite installations. Unless the sites within your network are making you some decent cash, this could potentially wipe you out from month to month and you&#8217;ll need to decide as a site administrator how much that peace of mind is going to cost you. On the flip side, the way they have structured their plans allows you to only backup the most valuable sites within your network providing you with more flexibility. </p>\n<p>With regards to plan pricing, <a href=\"http://blog.vaultpress.com/2011/11/14/announcing-multisite-support/#comment-1751\">Pete Davies responded to a comment</a> by Donnacha regarding a sliding pricing scale. It looks like it&#8217;s an opportunity that could be tapped into in the future. </p>\n\n\n<p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/vaultpress-issues-first-set-of-invites\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"VaultPress Issues First Set Of Invites\">VaultPress Issues First Set Of Invites</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/whats-the-best-way-to-be-notified-of-theme-and-plugin-updates\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"What&#8217;s The Best Way To Be Notified Of Theme And Plugin Updates?\">What&#8217;s The Best Way To Be Notified Of Theme And Plugin Updates?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/plugin-repository-now-supports-videos\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Plugin Repository Now Supports Videos\">Plugin Repository Now Supports Videos</a></li>\n</ol></p><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/vxAe1mssJC8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 15 Nov 2011 21:00:50 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Jeffro\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:2;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:60:\"Weblog Tools Collection: WordPress Plugin Releases for 11/15\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:41:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/?p=10704\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogtoolscollection/UXMP/~3/QN4eYHZTyqo/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:747:\"<h3>New plugins</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-tinymce/\"><strong>Ultimate TinyMCE</strong></a> beefs up your visual tinymce editor with a plethora of advanced options: Emoticons, Tables, Styles, Advanced links, images, and drop-downs.</p>\n<h3>Updated plugins</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://bbpress.org/\"><strong>bbPress</strong></a> is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress, available for the first time ever as a plugin.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://scribu.net/wordpress/posts-to-posts\"><strong>Posts 2 Posts</strong></a> allows you to create many-to-many connections between posts of all kinds.</p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogtoolscollection/UXMP/~4/QN4eYHZTyqo\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:33:40 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:5:\"James\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:3;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:65:\"WPTavern: bbPress 2.0.1 Released – Fixes Anonymous Security Bug\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"http://www.wptavern.com/?p=5856\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:113:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~3/5xsteMB843o/bbpress-2-0-1-released-fixes-anonymous-security-bug\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1424:\"<p><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/bbpresslogo.png\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/bbpresslogo.png\" alt=\"bbpress.org Logo\" title=\"bbpresslogo\" width=\"205\" height=\"70\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5463\" /></a>bbPress has <a href=\"http://bbpress.org/blog/2011/11/bbpress-2-0-1/\">released version 2.0.1</a> which is considered a maintenance release.

kind of advertising was presented on certain WP.com blogs. HalfBlog.net has a couple of screenshots of ads they discovered while browsing on WordPress.com and perhaps the most insulting one of them all is the Windows Dialogue prompt that tells users they have a chance to win an Apple iPad 2 and to click the OK button. </p>\n<p>I decided to fire up a fresh copy of Internet Explorer as I know WP.com loves to show those folks ads to see what I could find. My results range from embedded YouTube videos to flash based videos. The sites I browsed were on the Freshly Pressed WP.com front page and the ads I found had absolutely nothing to do with the content they were displayed under. However, unlike HalfBlog.net, I did see the Advertisement disclaimer above each one. Here are the ones I saw.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5840\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wpcomadvertising1.png\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wpcomadvertising1.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"wpcomadvertising1\" width=\"452\" height=\"317\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5840\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Embedded YouTube Video</p></div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5841\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wpcomadvertising2UsingFlash.png\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wpcomadvertising2UsingFlash.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"wpcomadvertising2UsingFlash\" width=\"349\" height=\"311\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5841\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flash Powered Video</p></div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5842\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wpcomadvertising3.png\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wpcomadvertising3.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"wpcomadvertising3\" width=\"419\" height=\"306\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5842\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Embedded YouTube Video</p></div>\n<p>When the issue was <a href=\"http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/unsuitable-adverts-on-my-blog?replies=12#post-743162\">brought up</a> within the WP.com support forums, Happiness Engineer MacManX alleviated fears of some that they are not forcing people into purchasing the No-Ads upgrade. </p>\n<blockquote><p>Forcing people into No Ads is definitely not, has never been, and will never be the plan.</p>\n<p>Rather, the head-bashing that you described is the plan. The ads are some-what geo-targeted, and at this time, most of the bad ads seem to be shown to folks visiting from outside of the US. I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s because there aren&#8217;t enough fish in the sea for our ad provider in this case, or if they just aren&#8217;t vetting their foreign ads well enough.</p></blockquote>\n<p>While Automattic makes an effort to remove ads from the network based on screenshots submitted by users, unfortunately, it&#8217;s like playing a game of Whack-A-Mole as Wank puts it.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Complaining about individual ads and getting them removed after the fact is just playing whack-a-mole. It doesn&#8217;t do anything to stop similar ads popping up again. Sooner or later you&#8217;re going to get malware slipping through (it&#8217;s happened a couple of times on livejournal) and the fallout from that is going to be exponentially worse than what you&#8217;re getting now.</p></blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting in that WordPress.com can&#8217;t remove the ads because of the extra revenue the small amount of display ads provides but at the same time, it would de-value the no-ads upgrade. So WordPress.com has to find a way to make this work better but when relying on third parties for your advertising needs, there is not much they can do about the quality of the ads that are displayed. I wonder why they haven&#8217;t created their own in-house ad network specifically for WordPress.com?</p>\n<p>If you feel like going back in time, <a href=\"http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2006/09/06/on-ads/\">check out this post from 2006</a> when ads were introduced to WordPress.com and read through the comments. </p>\n\n\n<p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wordpress-com-blogs-to-get-more-advertising\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"WordPress.com Blogs To Get More Advertising\">WordPress.com Blogs To Get More Advertising</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/advertising-now-an-option-on-wptavern\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Advertising Now An Option On WPTavern\">Advertising Now An Option On WPTavern</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/save-25-percent-on-wptavern-display-advertising\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Save 25 Percent On WPTavern Display Advertising\">Save 25 Percent On WPTavern Display Advertising</a></li>\n</ol></p><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/KuflMwtHRUQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:00:19 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Jeffro\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:8;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:47:\"Weblog Tools Collection: bbPress 2.0.1 Released\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:41:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/?p=10698\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogtoolscollection/UXMP/~3/U63HLCXUbA8/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:623:\"<p><a href=\"http://bbpress.org/\">bbPress</a> 2.0.1 <a href=\"http://bbpress.org/blog/2011/11/bbpress-2-0-1/\">has been released</a>.

Tell us what your blog and book are about.<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1805\" title=\"cover\" src=\"http://wordpresspublishers.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/cover.png?w=199&h=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" /></strong></p>\n<p>DAVID: You Are Not So Smart is a celebration of self delusion. One topic at a time, it explores how silly and irrational we all are through the lens of fascinating psychological studies. It started out as a blog just pointing out interesting things around that theme, but once I started gaining fans and saw my hits growing, I made the effort to write longer, more in-depth pieces about cognitive biases and other fun things. The book is an expanded version of the blog, similar in format.</p>\n<p><strong>2. What encouraged you to create a blog that celebrates self delusion? How has your life changed as a result of learning so much about psychology and irrational thinking?</strong></p>\n<p>DAVID: I tried a lot of different blog ideas before You Are Not So Smart. My first real attempt at keeping a blog about interesting things in psychology and neuroscience began around 2003. I gave up on that a few years later and tried a blog about feature writing. It wasn&#8217;t until I saw a video demonstration of <a href=\"http://publisherblog.automattic.com/feed/youarenotsosmart.com/2009/10/01/hello-world/\">inattentional blindness</a> that blew my mind and prompted me to launch You Are Not So Smart in late 2009.</p>\n<p>The result of writing about self-delusion all the time? It&#8217;s been great. My wife and I are always saying things like, &#8220;Hold on, that&#8217;s just the anchoring effect,&#8221; or &#8220;I think you are confabulating right now.&#8221; We&#8217;ve found that the articles can be a vehicle for self improvement, but always when you least expect it. Also, I don&#8217;t argue online anymore because I&#8217;ve learned through the research how futile and fruitless it is. It&#8217;s a wonderful thing to delete from your life.</p>\n<p><strong>3. So how&#8217;d you score the book deal?<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1807\" title=\"mcraney\" src=\"http://wordpresspublishers.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/mcraney.png?w=226&h=240\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"240\" /></strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>DAVID: I got into a heated online argument with two friends over which was better, the PS3 or the Xbox 360. The argument went on for days, and I think we all crossed the line, insulting each other and getting legitimately angry – and we’re friends in real life! I thought it would make a great blog post, so I researched why I was so brand loyal and silly.</p>\n<p>That became <a href=\"http://youarenotsosmart.com/2010/05/19/fanboyism-and-brand-loyalty/\">my post on brand loyalty and fanboyism</a>, which I published that post at about the same time an iPhone prototype was stolen. With the buzz around fanboyism at an all-time high, someone at Gizmodo saw my post and asked if they could republish it with links back. I agreed, and all of a sudden my hits went through the roof. I kept writing and posting and soon emails arrived from the publishing world asking if I was interested in turning the blog into a book. I said hell yes.</p>\n<p><strong><strong>4. Why did you choose WordPress.com, and what do you like most about it?</strong></strong></p>\n<p>DAVID: I&#8217;ve tried every other service out there, but WordPress.com is the most robust. I wanted something clean and elegant and easy, but with enough features to allow for scaling up my blog if it ever caught on with a larger audience. It was the right move.</p>\n<p>This is an amazing and revolutionary time for writers. The barriers to entry are so low, and the platforms like WordPress.com so well-made, anyone with a voice can start shouting and be heard. Instead of writing a book and hoping a publisher won&#8217;t throw it into the slush pile, writers can start a blog and build a fan base. They can prove to publishers there is a market for their work and their voice.</p>\n<p>A generation ago, a writer like me would never be discovered, never get a shot at the big time. Blogging platforms like WordPress.com are changing the lives of all manner of artists and activists. I think that&#8217;s fantastic.</p>\n<p><strong>Congratulations, David!</strong></p>\n<br />  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godelicious/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/delicious/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gofacebook/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/facebook/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gotwitter/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/twitter/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gostumble/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/stumble/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godigg/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/digg/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/goreddit/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/reddit/wordpresspublishers.wordpress.com/1799/\" /></a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=publisherblog.automattic.com&blog=1470857&post=1799&subd=wordpresspublishers&ref=&feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:12:39 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Erica Johnson\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:13;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"Dev Blog: Taking WordPress to War\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"http://wordpress.org/news/?p=2093\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:58:\"http://wordpress.org/news/2011/11/taking-wordpress-to-war/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1787:\"<p>Today is the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the (20)eleventh year, and in several parts of the world, it is a holiday related to war. In the U.S., where I live, it is Veterans Day, which honors military veterans. In much of Europe, today is Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, commemorating the armistice signed at the &#8220;eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month&#8221; of 1918 that ended the fighting on the Western Front in World War I.</p>\n<p>Whether serving in the military, living in an area of unrest or attack, having friends or family in the fray, or just being human enough to think war sucks (there&#8217;s really no gentler way to say that, is there?), war impacts most people in the world today.</p>\n<p>The mission of WordPress is to democratize publishing. Sometimes we&#8217;re fortunate enough for that to mean providing a platform for communication that helps people work toward peace in their communities and around the world. Sometimes it means providing a platform for keeping people informed and aware of the other things that are happening around the world, including the horror of wars and revolutions.</p>\n<p>At WordCamp San Francisco in August, one of the most popular and well-respected sessions was led by Teru Kuwayama of <a href=\"http://basetrack.org/\">Basetrack.org</a>. On this day of remembrance, I thought it would be good to share the video of his presentation. Not only is it a very cool example of how WordPress can be used in unexpected ways (this is not your <del datetime=\"2011-11-11T14:23:43+00:00\">father&#8217;s Oldsmobile</del> usual blog), it&#8217;s a reminder of how much work still needs to be done to move from war to peace.

After the GigaOm article has been updated, it now appears that half of the 60 million blogs are hosted on WordPress.com while the other half is on the self-hosted version of WordPress. This is a big number but unless those 60 million blogs are broken down into active sites, spammers, sploggers, dead sites, etc. then it will remain nothing but a big number. Touting big numbers is cool but showing how that number is figured out is even better. </p>\n<p>Asides from the big number, I also wanted to point out the article that GigaOm published regarding this milestone. It has to be one of the most confusing articles I&#8217;ve ever read that mixes up WordPress.com and the open source project known as WordPress. For example, this sentence threw me for a loop:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Meanwhile, WordPress doesn’t plan to abandon its core allegiance to open source standards as it continues to expand as a for-profit company. </p></blockquote>\n<p>The sentence starts off with WordPress, then mentions open source standards and concludes with for-profit company. Even if you added the .com to WordPress that still wouldn&#8217;t make sense. Outside of all the confusion, the article itself is not bad considering it has a number of quotes from Matt when he participated in an on-stage interview with Mathew Ingram at the GigaOM RoadMap conference. </p>\n<p>The big take away is that WordPress.com will be receiving a heavy dosage of social and mobile development. </p>\n\n\n<p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wordpress-com-grows-by-30-million\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"WordPress.com Grows By 30 Million\">WordPress.com Grows By 30 Million</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wordpress-27-a-milestone-in-its-own-right\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"WordPress 2.7 A Milestone In Its Own Right\">WordPress 2.7 A Milestone In Its Own Right</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/update-on-automattics-services-and-blogs\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Update On Automattics Services And Blogs\">Update On Automattics Services And Blogs</a></li>\n</ol></p><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/KwECpGd_oTM\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:00:41 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Jeffro\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:16;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Matt: Growing\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:21:\"http://ma.tt/?p=39651\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"http://ma.tt/2011/11/growing-2/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:213:\"<p><a href=\"http://automattic.com/\">Automattic</a> just reached 100 people.

The name of the post probably gave it away. This blog is rocking in speed and deliverability! How you ask? Thanks to the fine work of the people over at <a title=\"Cloud Flare\" href=\"http://cloudflare.com\">Cloudflare.com</a></p>\n<p>CloudFlare is a free(mium) service that was recommended to me by our own James. He had heard about it in conversations with some folks over dinner and wanted us to try it out. While this blog has gotten loaded over the years with JavaScript from various sources and code cruft of years, it has also gotten quite slow as a result. It is not the server (though Spam storms never help) and MySql running on the same server does not help. I had added caching thanks to WP Super Cache and had tweaked most of the settings to be tolerable on the server. I had even tried a CDN at one point but backed out because it turned out to be such a touchy beast.</p>\n<p>The free CloudFlare product, which is what we use on here, is substantial enough to depend upon and is easy to set up. I might upgrade to their paid version once I am more comfortable with the results and have let it bake for a month or two. Signup was easy and it really took just under a few minutes to setup this blog. We have been running it for about three days now, with positive results and zero downtime. Let us go over some the details.</p>\n<p>It takes just a few minutes to add your site to CloudFlare.com. Add it in, watch a video while it figures out all the details of your DNS, and then turn around and make the name server changes it asks you to make. There are instructions included on the page and it tries to help you make the best choices. It is worth noting that only self hosted WordPress blogs are capable of using CloudFlare. Since the actual change needs to happen at the registrar and name server level, TTL reduction will not help propagate it faster. While Go Daddy seemed to push the changes through quickly for us, it can take up to 48 hours for everything to work properly.</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10686\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"CloudFlare.com\" href=\"http://cloudflare.com\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-10686\" title=\"CloudFlare.com\" src=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cloudflare-logo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"309\" height=\"52\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">CloudFlare.com</p></div>\n<p>Once the name server changes are made, you just sit back and watch. The free service from CloudFlare performs a bunch of automated magic, including using location aware technology to redirect your visitors to the right cache of your content. I know that the content is still live and interactive, but the seamless nature of the change makes this so easy and attractive. It speeds up your site using a variety of caching technologies and a CDN, including automatically minifying your scripts, reducing extra items in your HTML. It eventually reduces the amount of bandwidth you consume on your server and the number of requests actually hitting your server.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>It works with static and dynamic content. Direct access is no sweat since a subdomain is created that goes directly to your site! For all of you using virtual hosts, let me calm your fears. CloudFlare works fine with virtual hosts.</li>\n<li>It is always online, even buffeting traffic surges and reducing downtimes. (I have a concern about this. I turned off the MySql server by mistake and the blog displayed a DB error. I assume that if my server is down due to spam storm, the same thing will happen. I will have to investigate that.)</li>\n<li>Reduces slowdown effect of third party tools and scripts such as FaceBook, Google AdSense or Analytics and Twitter. We have a lot of those!</li>\n<li>Protects against network threats such as spammers, uses previously reported information for protection. This is fantastic, if it works.</li>\n<li>Provides visitor analytics that are better than those based on JavaScript. I see a huge difference between thee results and those provided by StatCounter.</li>\n<li>Provides a host of other third party plugins that can easily be installed. I use a couple of them.</li>\n</ul>\n<div>Now to be honest, some of the more cool analytics and security features are behind a paywall. Some of us geeks will like the enhanced version better. The plugin ecosystem is also fantastic. Some of the plugins (apps) include Clicky, Google Analytics, Pingdom, Smartling and Blitz for load testing. The free version is enough for most needs and is substantial enough for us to recommend it to our readers.

Instructions are everywhere. Be sure to mark spammers etc. All of it helps the ecosystem.</li>\n<li>Be patient. In my case, the changes were up within an hour. It might take longer for you.</li>\n<li>If all else fails, switch your name servers back and ask for help.</li>\n</ul>\n<div>Have you used CloudFlare.com? How do you like it?

It&#8217;s called the <a href=\"http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/new-photo-carousel/\">Full-Size carousel</a> and was designed to display photographs as large as your display can contain them. Created by a group of people within Automattic as a mini project during their stay in Budapest, the carousel has support for keyboard shortcuts such as using the left and right arrows to browse through images or pressing escape to return to the normal image view. When previewing the images within the post, I would have liked to have seen some pictures with huge resolutions to see if this thing really works or not but since the images were all 1000 pixels by 714 pixels, I don&#8217;t think I was able to grasp just how cool this new feature is since my monitor resolution is 1600 X 900. </p>\n<p>For those using the self-hosted version of WordPress, <a href=\"http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/new-photo-carousel/#comment-142306\">Matt Thomas mentioned</a> that it&#8217;s possible the carousel will make it within a future version of the Jetpack plugin. </p>\n\n\n<p>No related posts.</p><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/UtUfELcdclM\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 10 Nov 2011 14:00:35 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Jeffro\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:20;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:54:\"Weblog Tools Collection: WordPress 3.3 Beta 3 Released\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:41:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/?p=10681\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogtoolscollection/UXMP/~3/KNj_-CHHuUI/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:634:\"<p><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/\">WordPress</a> 3.3 Beta 3 <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/news/2011/11/wordpress-3-3-beta-3-available/\">has been released</a>.

Lorelle VanFossen summed things up pretty nicely in the following quote:</p>\n<blockquote><p>A fantastic article that helps spell out the details of the Codex article on a site that isn&#8217;t selling &#8220;commercial content&#8221; other than hosting advertising and such (normal stuff) more than producing free, &#8220;open source,&#8221; shared content is allowed as it is considered external reference material. These are set usually in the &#8220;More Resources&#8221; section not within the Codex article.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Seems like a good compromise to me as it should prevent commercial entities from being able to use the Codex for link juice. Although that should be a lot more difficult considering new user registration for the Codex was disabled a few months ago to try and thwart spam attacks. </p>\n\n\n<p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/handful-of-codex-stats\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Handful Of Codex Stats\">Handful Of Codex Stats</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/do-you-think-the-codex-is-the-future-of-documentation-for-wordpress\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Do You Think The Codex Is The Future Of Documentation For WordPress?\">Do You Think The Codex Is The Future Of Documentation For WordPress?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/plugin-repository-and-commercial-plugins\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Plugin Repository And Commercial Plugins\">Plugin Repository And Commercial Plugins</a></li>\n</ol></p><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/u91o43vZQQU\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:00:50 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Jeffro\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:22;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:61:\"WPTavern: Plugin Battles – Really Just A Popularity Contest\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"http://www.wptavern.com/?p=5815\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:109:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~3/gJmkbgJrS7s/plugin-battles-really-just-a-popularity-contest\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2029:\"<p><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/pluginbattlelogo.png\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/pluginbattlelogo.png\" alt=\"Plugin Battle Logo\" title=\"pluginbattlelogo\" width=\"227\" height=\"89\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5816\" /></a>Ever wanted to see a group of plugins with similar functionality go at it in a head to head battle? <a href=\"http://www.battleoftheplugins.com\">BattleOfThePlugins.com</a> does exactly that except the visitors decide with their votes as to which one is the best. The plugin with the most votes is considered the champion of their respective category. You can probably guess what the problem is. The best plugin is not decided on functionality, code quality, compatibility, etc. Instead, it&#8217;s decided upon by votes which in my opinion, makes the site and the winners useless for anyone who may be looking to find out which SEO or site analytics plugin is the best. However, what the site does is show the community who has the most popularity when it comes to plugins and especially, plugin authors.

Not quite the large WordCamp event but not exactly a small meetup either. <a href=\"http://www.helpfultechnology.com/helpful-blog/2011/11/whitehall-in-wordpress/\">HelpfulTechnology.com has an interesting post</a> available detailing what they took away from the event and stated that contributing back to the project was one of their goals for 2012. Perhaps one of the most interesting and talked about subjects during the event was the UK Government and it&#8217;s use of WordPress or open-source products in general. </p>\n\n\n<p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wordup-a-fork-of-wordcamp\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"WordUp &#8211; A Fork Of WordCamp\">WordUp &#8211; A Fork Of WordCamp</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/wpweekly-episode-114-%e2%80%93-wordup\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"WPWeekly Episode 114 – WordUp\">WPWeekly Episode 114 – WordUp</a></li>\n</ol></p><img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/ydgNUNgRZQg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 08 Nov 2011 18:00:38 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Jeffro\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:27;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:63:\"WPTavern: Video: Developing/Submitting Themes To The Repository\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"http://www.wptavern.com/?p=5808\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:113:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~3/qcoOTULoOG4/video-developingsubmitting-themes-to-the-repository\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1547:\"<p>The following is a presentation by Chip Bennett at <a href=\"http://www.wckansascity.org/\">WordCamp Kansas City 2011</a>.

Pretty awesome to see Chip go from being a vocal member on WPTavern within the past year or so to really getting involved with the WordPress community overall. Not only has he stepped up and has volunteered his time for the WordPress Theme Review Team but now he has a couple of WordCamp visits/Presentations under his belt.

title=\"akismetlogo\" width=\"187\" height=\"43\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5792\" /></a>Akismet has started an <a href=\"http://akismet.com/partners/\">experimental partner program</a>. Based on the information presented, it looks like this is aimed more at consultants who deal with clients and instead of possibly using their own Akismet API key, they&#8217;ll now be able to refer them to Akismet via a special link which indicates the three plans that users can choose from. What caught my eye regarding the different account levels is how they have been structured. </p>\n<p><strong>Pro ($59/yr or $5/mo)</strong><br />\nFor individual sites, up to 80,000 comments/mo.</p>\n<p><strong>Enterprise ($550/yr or $50/mo)</strong><br />\nFor multiple medium size sites, up to 80,000 comments/mo (total).</p>\n<p><strong>Corporate ($3950/yr or $395/mo)</strong><br />\nFor corporate sites, up to 300,000 comments/mo with key monitoring, priority service and annual invoicing.</p>\n<p>What constitutes a comment? Are we talking about all comments in general that need to be filtered or 80,000 legitimate comments? A little clarity on that part would be good. Those who are chosen to be part of this strictly invitational program only, will receive $24.00 for Pro subscriptions while Enterprise subscriptions will net them $240.00. I&#8217;m very hesitant on calling this a referral program because of the following text presented on the page:</p>\n<blockquote><p>This partner program is intended for use with your existing clients. Linking to your referrer code on the internet, or in any way promoting it to people that aren&#8217;t your customers is prohibited, and will result in your being removed from the program. The plan here is to have less spam, not more!</p></blockquote>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in being a guinea pig for this program, <a href=\"https://docs.google.com/a/a8c.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHRBZ2lhUlRKRThQVlhxeTM0WDJXV0E6MQ\">you can sign up here</a> but keep in mind that just because you register doesn&#8217;t guarantee you will be accepted. By the way, <a href=\"http://wpcandy.com/reports/akismet-launches-partner-program\">WPCandy was able to receive 25 openings</a> which may help boost your chances of being accepted. </p>\n<p>By far, the most interesting aspect of this entire partner plan is the fact that the links people receive will contain <strong>ONLY</strong> the plans for which users must pay for. I wonder if this will translate into more paying customers for the service or if users will shy away and either use an alternative anti-spam solution or figure out how to get by using it for free. The only way we&#8217;ll know the answer to that is if Akismet shares the data they collected during the beta portion of the program. </p>\n\n\n<p>Related posts:<ol><li><a

Where it is especially confusing (and time wasting) is when the user (i.e. me) clicks the link and then switches tasks with plans to read the post later in the day while the blog post loads in the background. But then when I later view my open tabs in my browser I see a page from a web site that I think is just spam so I close it only to later in the day see the RSS feed again and think &#8220;Hmm, I never saw that&#8221; so I click again, and sometimes task switch after which the cycle continues.</p>\n<p>So for the TL;DR crowd, themers PLEASE do not implement themes that break the standard UX for blogs; titles should be hyperlinked with permalinks to the blog post, nothing else. Show explicit link text and/or icon instead. It may seem &#8220;cool&#8221; but it can be hell on the blog&#8217;s readers. JMTCW, anyway.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Please don&#8217;t make the post title the actual link to an article when using the <em>Link Post format</em>. It prevents me from linking to you and it&#8217;s not the behaviour I&#8217;m expecting. I&#8217;m excepting to click the link to read comments or such on the post but because the title acts as a link, I pretty much have no way of getting there. It&#8217;s a frustrating experience and that&#8217;s why I agree with Mike!</p>\n\n\n<p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/alex-king-releases-post-formats-admin-ui-code\"
