The latest issue of the excellent The Digital Journalist is out now! There’s a feature presentation on body painting and tatoos, South Africa plus an opinion piece by James Colburn entitled, “Don’t Ask”.
I hate to tell you this, but we’re screwed. By “we” I don’t just mean photojournalists but journalists in general. And not just the select few that cover the White House but journalists all over the country. You are going to see less, hear less and be able to report less.
This Photo fades effect is nice!
I just installed the WYSIWYG plugin for WordPress and it’s nice. I don’t think I’d use it myself but it could be very useful for newbies, especially by using the Image Manager to insert images into posts! It took only a small amount of hacking to get it to recognise the WPMU directory structure!
Problems – in Moz FF I couldn’t paste into the textarea as I got a "security error" popup. Inserting a link was problematic too – I had to get out of html view and add the <a href=""></a> bit myself!
This post by John Lim is a must-read for any web developer looking to develop a “rich client” on their sites.
He lists several tools and libraries to help in the process and I really like the look of JPSpan although it looks like I need to download it from the sourceforge CVS as there’s no tarball yet. I must have a play with it later as XmlHttpRequest looks dead useful!
Sorry Everybody! – don’t worry about it, he’s only got 4 more years, and he can’t make things any worse!
Hey, he made it to Time Mag! 🙂
Shelley wrote an impressive review of WordPress a few days ago and as she mentioned an entry here I noticed a few hits. It’s a long piece with lots of comments and interesting. I changed the method by which enclosures are created – from a text field to scanning the post for URLs. Many of the comments aren’t very positive about that change. Which is better?
Tony Marston has several PHP articles on his site..
There’s more but I haven’t around to looking through the site yet!
