OK. So, i’m really liking the JQuery UI set. What is it exactly? “jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.”
Let me tell you it is beautiful. You first need the JQuery Core. You can download and customize a dynamic zip file just to your specific needs. I downloaded the whole package and threw it up on my server so I could build what ever I wanted.
One of my favorite UI items are the dialog box, date picker, and progress bar.
Sassy. OK. How hard is it to implement? Not very. You just declare a couple functions and set a couple variables and bam! you have a dialog.
I will post some pictures within the next couple days to showcase some work I have done using the JQuery Core framework.
Bottom line - if you really want to snazz up a project, with little coding, but a powerful framework, JQuery is a big recommendation. Has anyone else done anything with JQuery? I would love to see your work.
Now a days everyone and their sister has a Twitter account. People like you, people like me. But did you know Borat has one? Or how about Darth Vader, the Mars Lander? This comprehensive list is a collection of Twitter Profiles You Should Be Following. Just a warning. I have no official confirmation that the profiles listed below, are actually who they claim to be. There may be some impersonators out there, but it’s still fun none the less. I even categorized them. Enjoy and add your favorite profile addition in the comments below. I want this list to grow.
Over the weekend I integrated a Twitter Profile Search Tool in my blog using the Twitter API and the jSON callback functions. What it does, is let you search Twitter profiles right from my blog, and display their latest Tweets. I have full control over the number of tweets to display, the amount to show, and more. The Twitter API and jSON functions are very cool, and this is only the beginning to what can be done with it. I started with a search tool because it is a very practical thing to make. Let’s dissect it a bit to see how it was done.
This is incredible. I just pulled up my stats for MyDentify Business Directory and I am at 3,780,049 page views for the year. My goal is so close I can feel it. I did a post about two years ago on Setting Goals for Web Traffic And AdSense, both short term and long term, and I have been right on track. My first big goal was to achieve 50,000 page views for the year back in 2006. It was tough that first year, but I did it. My goal after that was to double it, and I did, with 101,003 page views. My Next goal was to get 500,000 and boy was that tough. BUT I was able to even double that and for that year I reached 1,000,000 page views. Since last year and today, I have almost quadrupled in traffic. Which is so sweet. MyDentify has about 40,000 indexed pages of both static and dynamic content and my SERP results are great. People searching - Search Engines make up 74% of my traffic as of now, direct traffic is 14% and referring is 10% (I rounded the decimals). Read More…
AdSense is an amazing tool. If you play your cards right, you can have that your full time job, and just sit back and watch. There are some real “movers and shakers” if you will who simply make it great. AdSense takes quite a lot of work if your just starting out, especially if you don’t have an established website getting a lot of traffic. Don’t get me wrong, I use whores in the nicest way possible
Here is a list of the Top AdSense earners.
