The jCollapisble plugin takes any nested list (OL or UL that have children) and coverts it into collapsible threads. This is especially useful to create simple threaded comments on a blog or nested posts in a forum without having to modify the backend code.
I’m always looking for ways to create neat looking effects with minimal code, so today we’ll take a look at a couple of slick animated menus made with CSS3 goodness.
While playing around with a few button designs for my latest project, I came up with a simple CSS-only button system that is both lightweight and compatible with nearly all major browsers. Check it out and let me know what you think!
This effect is actually from Techi.com, a new blog launched by the guys at WebDesignerDepot, where they use it to display their popular tags in the sidebar. I wanted to see how easy (or hard) it was to recreate using JQuery and CSS, and it turns out that it’s pretty simple to do. I’ve packed it into a neat little plugin so you hopefully you can make some use of it!
In the spirit of transparency and openness that many websites have embraced over the last few years, I’ve decided to share my stats and experiences blogging on DevGrow over the last three months. Overall, the results have been pretty interesting and positive, at least for the most part.
When brainstorming ideas for a new website, product or tool, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement or rush of creativity that comes with creating something new. It’s important to use this rush to motivate yourself and actually create something, however it’s even more important and necessary to take a step back, breathe, look at things objectively and make a plan of action.
Often when I’m designing layouts, I know I want to create x number of columns that are spaced y pixels apart. Usually I do the math in my head or if I’m feeling super lazy, I pull out my calculator. While playing with grid overlays earlier today, I decided to make a plugin that automatically calculates column width and row height based on the number of rows or columns present and overlays an appropriately sized grid.
Over the past few years, several new web startups have launched and quickly gained momentum, and there’s one thing they have in common: they don’t just build a brand, they build a community.
