Firebug and jQuery

Just installed Firebug into Firefox on the iMac.  http://getfirebug.com.

jQuery available from jQuery.com, current version is 1.3.2 which you can either store on the server or use a CDN (content delivery network) such as Google code.  http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/


<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/jsapi">
</script>

<script type=”text/javascript”>
google.load(“jquery”, “1.3.2″);
google.setOnLoadCallback(function()
{
console.log($(‘#title’).text());
});

WordPress e-Commerce

Installing a full featured e-Commerce plugin on godventure.co.uk -  http://www.instinct.co.nz/e-commerce/.  So far so good, it has all the options I’m looking for, namely pay through paypal, table rate shipping, coupons, etc… Now I need to check that I can display the product as and how I want to.

Adding Twitter to Wordpress

Using Twitter for microblogging works if you parcel it up with the rest of your blog world… that means viewing your tweets on the same page as your blogs…

Even better if you can Tweet from your mobile phone… link to facebook another time!
As I’m tackling this, so I’m going to enter info/thoughts as I go. jQuery is currently on version 1.3.2 this tutorial uses 1.2.6. You can get it from http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js via google.load("jquery", "1.3.2");

Okay now I just need to incorporate it into the side bar of this blog…  The tutorial is based on WordPress 2.6, however in the current 2.8.5 widgets are designed using the new widget API, http://wpengineer.com/wordpress-built-a-widget/ so I’m going to leave that for another day.

Web Designer Mag Podcast

Episode 1… this was interesting, although it is from October 2008. CS4 was just released and Chrome was considered lacklustre. iPhone app development still required a nda. Predictably that has changed.
