Currently, the WordPress theme I use is a modified version of Regulus by Ben Gillbanks. It’s a nice theme with a good set of options that let me customize a fair bit. I have been fooling around with some other things I have found here and there.
Today, I added two features to my site: Post Detail Reveal and Image Headlines.
Post Detail Reveal I coded myself using jQuery as the JavaScript library controlling the behaviour. I had a slight problem with the index page, in that I had to find a way to identify the specific Post Details to be revealed, but after I overcame that hurdle, it worked perfectly.
Image Headlines is a great little plugin created by ColdForged which allows you to convert text into an image (GIF or PNG) using any True Type font. There are quite a few options, like font-size, colour, multi-line breaks, drop shadows and more. I’m not sure how long I’ll use it, but it’s there for now.
####jQuery####
On the subject of jQuery, I have been playing with it for a few months now and I am really liking it. Through it’s built-in effects and the growing list of plugins, you can add some impressive effects to your web site, similar to Prototype or Mootools, but in a simpler, more powerful package.
