Sometimes, We Write Stuff...
Mootools Content Slider Class v2
Here's another update for my Mootools 'content slider class', along with several basic examples. Sorry that it has taken so long to get this new version posted!
FancyUpload 3.0 Released
If you haven't used Harald Kirschner's FancyUpload already, now is definitely the time to go check it out. It looks and functions exceptionally well, and the new version "is more stable, has better documentation and more showcases than ever."
Automatically Convert Twitter Usernames and Hashtags Into Links Using MooTools
Here's a small Mootools class that will automatically parse text and convert Twitter usernames and hashtags into links. I have one slight issue with usernames being inside of parentheses, but that's pretty much because I'm a RegExp noob. (Feel free to send me a better one than the one I struggled to write!)
Using htaccess To Always Have the WWW In Your URLs
I've had a blown disc in my neck for over a month now, so needless to say I've just NOT been in the mood to blog. However, I decided that I could at least write smaller/quicker posts in the meanwhile instead of my typical long ones... so here goes the first of (hopefully) many little tidbits.
Today I'm just posting a little bit of code that I use in my .htaccess file to make all visitors (including search engine robots) 301 redirect to URLs with a 'www' in front of them. Why do this? Because instead of search engines seeing xxx amount of incoming links to www.stoutlabs.com and xxx amount of incoming links to stoutlabs.com (no www), it sees both sets of incoming links as one total – and thus gives me a higher placement/page ranking!
Mootools Content Slider Class
Due to the amount of redundant questions about old versions of the content slider, I've deleted the old versions from my site (such as this one) to eliminate further confusion.
