Jonathan Snook debuted a great tutorial last September detailing how you can use an image and a few jQuery techniques to create a slick mouseover effect. I revisited his article and ported its two most impressive effects to MooTools.

Post Pic How to: Get the first image from the post and display it
Posted by classicloriTagged As: | Categories: wordpress | No Comments
Most WordPress users are using custom fields to display thumbs on their blog homepage. It is a good idea, but do you know that with a simple php function, you can grab the first image from the post, and display it. Just read on.
Lightbox + PhotoNav = LightNav

If you’ve been around the web for a while, you might have heard of Lightbox. And if you used it, you might also know the limitations.
One of those limitations is of course the fact that an image wider than your screen goes out of bounds. Very annoying! And it creates ugly scrolbars.
Bringing the Magazine to the Web

The rise of blogs on the web has brought a quick and easy way for anyone to publish their thoughts online without having to get down and dirty with HTML. Just write your content, hit ‘Publish,’ and your thoughts are instantly available for the masses to read.
For all the good that blogs have done, they’ve made the internet look predictable when compared to articles printed in a magazine which look completely unique, each with their own art style and layout. As Greg Storey pointed out in a blog post from 2006, “before there were blogs we had websites. Beautiful, random websites that felt more like a zine – one page looking nothing like the one before or after it”.
Most larger blogs may have a unique theme, but each blog post looks the same. Most posts we read everyday share the same common layout:
More Than 620 Bokeh Background Textures

As bokeh is more than often very pleasing to the eye, photographers
tend to purposely produce bokeh in their images, and sometimes
deliberately take out-of-focus shots to take images that show nothing
other than bokeh. Designers have picked up on this, and over the years
there has been a huge increase of bokeh being used in graphic, print,
and web design. This round-up consists of a whopping 626 textures, both
free (the majority) and premium, which you can use to spice up your
photos, as backgrounds for your latest web design, and, as most of them
are high resolution, even in your print design projects.
