There were supposed to be only eight parts to this series, but as we started releasing them, Chris and I realized that there was going to need to be a follow-up post to address some of the bug fixes, security patches, and a few other minor changes.

NOTE: All the changes we're going to cover in this article are already included in the source code.

Bug Fixes

After releasing the live app, a handful of bugs showed up in the comments. We tried to address these as quickly as possible to keep the app from causing unnecessary grief for ...

We make you more efficient
You’re right. Managing your own advertisers and their campaigns is not difficult. But it takes time (and patience). Adding a slick piece of software between you and your advertisers will make both of your lives easier. Your time is better spent growing traffic, creating new content, and curating your community.

You don’t have to give up control
Most ad networks make you give up control of your ad space. They have restrictive terms, only allow certain ad sizes, don’t let you approve each ad on your website, and worst of all they ...

I had a unique programming challenge the other day that I thought I’d share here. It’s rather specific and probably won’t be of huge general use, but hey, it might be interesting.

The idea was to have 160 characters become “selected” when you click on any letter in a block of text:

I didn’t think it was possible to “actually” select the text automatically like that, since that seemed to me kind of like an operating-system level function. I really don’t know though, correct me if I’m wrong. So instead what I set out ...

Just what the world needs, another jQuery slider. YAWN. I know, check this one out though, it’s got lots of cool features.

Here on CSS-Tricks, I’ve created a number of different sliders. Three, in fact. A “featured content” slider, a “start/stop slider“, and “moving boxes“. Each of them had some cool interesting feature that I needed to build at the time. All were well-received, but as is the case with these things, people want them to do X, Y, and Z in addition to what they already did.

This new AnythingSlider is an attempt at bringing together ...

We’ve been down the jQuery “sliders” path a few times before. Once for the Auto-Playing Featured Content Slider and again for the Start/Stop slider.

Many of the concepts presented in those tutorials are the same with this slider, so I’m not going to throw a lot of source code at you this time. The big difference here is that there are buttons to change panels and the panels zoom in and out. Fun!

UPDATED Feb 16, 2009 (Chris Coyier):

• Issue with double clicking fixed. Next animation can only start when current animation is complete.

UPDATED Feb 17 ...

Over the last few weeks, I have been been doing a video screencast series on Designing for WordPress. It is a three-part series which covers downloading and installing WordPress on a server all the way to a completed theme.
