Another Day, Another Fun JQuery Application
I simply enjoy days where my queue is empty and I can develop little random apps to keep my brain occupied. It's the small pleasures in life that brings me such joy.
Today I present "newsFeed". Inspired by the large flash based image menu at the top of Gamespot.com's site, I decided to create a similar application through JQuery. I replaced the flash with a simple definition list that contains the large image that is used for the background and the text content. I was able to recreate the hover and rollover blur effects as the flash but I wasn't able to figure out how to get it to autoscroll. I'll save that for the next release. Simply check out the links below for a working example. Sorry no download is available on this one yet!

Learning is Fun-damental
Lately, I have had the chance to talk to a few people about my programming habits and a few simple steps I can do to go a little further, atleast on the JavaScript side of things. So, since TheCinemaSource is down, I took the time to mess around with my little toolbar script.
What I have done is updated the script so that there is a better division between my HTML presentation and my JS file. The easiest way to put this is that I was able to move all my behaviorial JavaScript method calls out of my HTML file and into my external JS file. Now, the HTML file contains (Yes! You guessed it!) HTML while the JS file contains all my lovely JavaScript code.
As I was looking at the code, I still see LOTS of room for improvement but below you'll find the link to download and view the latest version of my toolbar.

Simple Style Toolbar
I know it's been a while but you know how it is when a girl decides to procrastinate. She forgets to post one day and puts it off to the next and then, wouldn't you know it, she doesn't post in months! Well, let me start out with wishing everyone an extremely belated New Year.
Now with all the formalities out of the way, let's get on to the first post of '07. I've been developing this small little javascript that inserts the HTML tags for a few commonly used font styles into a text area. Since I was creating a new content management tool for another project, I thought it would be neat to add this niffy add-on. Now, the users can cut down their dependence on that horrid Dreamweaver.
Since it was such a hassle for me to find something similiar to this on the web, I thought I'd post it up here for the general public:
