I’ve been working with jQuery quite a lot over the past week to get the commentluv settings page up and running and get the new commentluv plugin working as promised. It always amazes me at how incredibly easy it is to get it to do cool things with a web page.

Not just Ajax things, simple effects that allow you to take a page from a digital piece of paper to a digital pop-up book! Click here for an example..

Look at me!

Example explained

(you should have the jQuery library loaded in the head of your document, my wordpress already does this but if yours doesn’t you’ll have to put a line like this in the head of your page) (continue reading…)

I had a truckload of hits come to this site last night for my Hello Stumbler plugin, so I thought I would share with you how to make a plugin so you can publish it, stumble it, digg it and bask in your coding glory as it generates hits to your site!

(continue reading…)

Here’s a little plugin I made for Stumbleupon visitors, I got the idea while playing with the Digg This plugin.

Hello Stumbler plugin will display a note at the top of your post (or wherever you put the call) when it detects that the person viewing the page came through the Stumbleupon button and ask them to give you a thumbs up.

Simply download the plugin, upload it to your plugins directory and activate it. Once you have done that, go to your single post template page and add the following command under the entry-content line (click image to see example).
[php]
?php if (function_exists(hellostumbler)) { hellostumbler();}?>
[/php]

It’s as simple as that! I have tried it by showing the link if this blog is the referring page and it works, hopefully it will do the same when the post is stumbled upon with the toolbar button (it’ll take me ages to stumble and stumble until this post shows to truly test it, but it should work!).

If you came here via a stumble button press, please let me know if you can see the “thanks for stumble-ing” message at the top of the post. thanks!
