WordPress For Android Published on February 18, 2010
Via David Naylor’s: www.davidnaylor.co.uk/wordpress-for-android.html
“Checking your WordPress Blog on your mobile phone can be bit of a pain if your Smartphone is on the Android platform.
The easiest way I have found is to bookmark each blog, but then writing the post is awkward because you’re only getting a mobile view of the page, so it often involves a lot of scrolling around a page.
Last night I was looking through the Android Market and saw the WordPress Logo as a featured application.”

CSS Cascading and Specificity Published on February 15, 2010
The Cascading logic
As you know CSS rules are applied trough a “cascade” logic, meaning that, if you have two (or more) different rules for the same element, the last one will prevail. (all others will remain).
This happens in a very precise way. – Let’s say you define a CSS rule that states that all paragraphs shall be Bold and Blue:
p {
color:#00f;
font-weight:bold;
}
And latter on you state that all paragraphs should be Red, and Italic (emphasized):
p {
color:#f00;
font-style:italic;
}
The result will be a Red paragraph in Bold Italic!
Why? – Well you added new rules that in the cascading logic, overruled the previous ones, however you didn’t contradict some of the previous rules, like the bold property.
So at the end, they all added-up to create a BIG common rule for all paragraphs.
JAW Duplicate Widgets Published on February 12, 2010
Sometime’s by pure chance we stumble upon some very simply but incredibly useful word press plugins.
JAW Duplicate Widgets is definitely on of them!
This plugin makes it possible to duplicate a widget so it can be used more than once in your blog (i.e. in two different sidebars or two times in the same sidebar). – How many times did we need this to happen in the past?
In my case quite a few, indeed! Well don’t let this happen anymore, go to Thomas Watson Steen’s “Just ad water website” and grab your copy of the plugin!
Get it from: http://justaddwater.dk/wordpress-plugins/
Have fun!
