Firebug and jQuery

Nov 11

Posted by Karen in done

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());
});

Adding Twitter to Wordpress

Nov 6

Posted by Karen in doing

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…
http://www.webdesignermag.co.uk/tutorials/integrate-twitter-into-wordpress/ Download files here…

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.
