Did you note how difficult is to deal with highly populated dropdowns? More than 50 elements can be a real pain… Can we do something about it -specially when this “highly populated dropdown” is necessary-? Thanks to JavaScript/jQuery the answer is a big yes. How? Take a look to the demo and see which dropdown is more friendly to find… lets say: Chile.

Sprites are widely used on big sites (Yahoo!, Google, Amazon and more) but rarely for “normal” projects. I think this is due to two questions that usually stop us when it comes to learn something new: “how difficult will be to learn this thing?” and “will I even use it?”. Well, I hope to help you with both questions by showing you how easy is to work with sprites/jQuery and how much this would help you to make a difference in your work, for instance by making a nice animated menu like this one:

Try this two forms. Both force letter case, but only one of them will send to the server exactly what you see (in terms of lower and upper case).

hello world! -not too original, but I had to do it- Let me tell you about Livegets. What is it? Well, Livegets is a Worpress plugin for enabling real time updates for any Wordpress widget. Any widget? Any.
Why? Because real time widget update would be useful for visitors to know what is happening at any time in your blog.
Picture this: a visitor is reading an specific post at your site and you add a new one. Without Livegets, your visitor will probably leave the site if the current post is the lastest at the time he/she arrives. Now, with Livegets he/she will know there is a new post and will probably visit it.
Another example? Think about a “Top 10 Something” widget. Would be great to offer real time updates, don’t you think?
