A Fresh Start of 2010
Well, its been quite a while I wrote something here. When I first created this blog my optimistic intention was to write at least once a week, well until now that never happened. 2010 has already arrived and I am hoping for some fresh and exciting time in coming months. To start with, I spent last weekend to revamp my website and this blog. Hopefully, the excitement will be sustained, and I will be writing here more frequently.
The blog is powered by WordPress and I used the fantastic OneRoom theme from Web-Kreation, of course with a touch of my own taste. For my web, I basically rewrote the skeleton, and switched to JQuery from Prototype. Looking at the code simplicity and design, I have to say that the hype of JQuery is well justified. It is beautifully designed, with clean and well structured APIs. It took me literally no time to put the framework and plugins together to get the minimal AJAX feature and running those eye catching effects. I have used three of them in the site ( FishEye Dock Menu, Overlay Image and Slider). Really brilliant in simplicity!
These days I don’t have enough time to write dynamic Web 2.0s, but looking at these awesome tweaks I am really tempted to squeeze in some more time to play around.
