wptouch: wordpress iphonified is a complimentary theme installed as a plugin on your WordPress blog or website that will format your content with this Apple-inspired, full-featured theme when your visitors are using an iPhone or iPod touch.

If you need quick access to html/css for pagination then check out this good tutorial at woork. Digg and Flickr styles provided.

If are trying to get somewhere with the Digg API, I highly recommend this tutorial on accessing the Digg API with PHP. Remember to save the php files as a CodeIgniter library so that you can call it like this:

$this->load->library('diggclass');

A nice list to have and refer to if you desire some functionality and don’t want to reinvent the wheel. I found jCarousel Lite and jCarousel via this page.

Unless you are a newbie, you have heard and probably used swfobject, an easy-to-use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content. Simply add one small JavaScript file and it takes the worries out of everything. Well, it’s hosted at swfobject, but I just noticed they have an AIR “wizard” that literally writes the html for you. Handy when you don’t have the time to learn the differences and new features in swfobject 2.0. I highly recommend this.

I thought this was a worthy post on twhirl’s blog about why sometimes you can get a “limit exeeded” message on twhirl. Twitter’s limit is 70 request per hour, but you may have OTHER services using that outside of your client twitter app. This just happened to me last night.

Designer’s Toolbox has mockup ready PSDs of form elements ready to be used in mockups, etc. IE and Firefox on Windows, plus Firefox and Safari on Mac OS X. [ via jason ]

Pretty sure i’ve blogged these already, but regardless Jonathan Snook provides a good starting Adobe AIR Resources for the Ajax Developer.

GridFox is a Firefox extension that overlays a grid on any website. Easy to customize, allowing you to create the exact grid you designed your layout around. I just downloaded this and i instantly love it. Can see how i can adjust my css instead of having to go back to Photoshop.

Although from a quick glance everything appears to be operating normally, just an FYI that I just upgraded the blog to the new version of Wordpress (2.5).

I’ve stumbled on several variations on a lifestreaming plugin for Wordpress (lifestreaming is basically displaying your activity on twitter, flickr, and other services in a nice linear calendar of some sort). This probably all started with Jeremy Keith’s php source code a couple of years ago.

Chris Davis’s Lifestream
Lifestream For Wordpress (Looks nice)
SimpleLife For Wordpress (Updated, but appears to be PHP5 only although using SimplePie)

If anyone stumbles on lifestreaming solutions for Wordpress, drop a comment.

WP’s Matt talks about bogus SecurityFocus SQL Injection reports, but even more importantly why and how you need to keep your WordPress updated. If you ever doubted how to upgrade, or what resources you might need in order to keep this simple and straightforward, read this now.

jQuery Spy is a very cool “Digg spy” clone that uses jQuery. Easy to use and customizable. Currently working with this on a client project.

Vitamin has an excellant walk-through setting up Subversion focused for designers. Includes setting up the server (Beanstalk is plugged, but that’s ok since I was looking at it for an online solution anyway), setting up the client, and some examples of basic Subversion usage. Easy to follow, even for me. Designers need to realize how important version tracking is.

Here’s my Tweet Cloud for my Twitter account @dimensionmedia.

I looked over Adobe TV a little bit today and was impressed with the content there so far - especially a couple of the Photoshop related tutorials. Using any recent Adobe product? Worth a look. Of course, the site is completely done in flash which is ok except the SEO side of me screams when I see that.

FancyBox is another lightbox solution using jQuery. Not too impressed - i don’t like the way the photos disappeared as you “scroll” through them but does hold out some promise as something to consider. According to the site, looks like it’s also going to be reworked in the near future.

The Adobe AIR Development Web Server: DARE is a local http server that makes it easy to create, test, and package AIR applications. It allows you to develop and test using your HTML/JS tools of choice and just a web browser. You can even use the “Refresh” button to test and package your application.

Beta now for the MAC. PC version “coming soon”.

I recently started with Twitter (I know, boy that took a while) and I have to say this is definitely the place for those on the cutting edge of web development and online marketing. Some great conversations out there. If you are someone who’s interests lie in web development, social networking and media, wordpress, or anything else you see on this blog (if you are reading this blog, then you are probably already a good match) then feel free to follow me on Twitter. I’ll probably follow you back.

I also installed a twitter plugin to display my last twitters in the sidebar on the right above ‘tidbits’.

SimpleViewer is a free, customizable Flash image viewing application. An alternative to slideshowpro.

Although i’m favoring online solutions at the moment, I can’t ignore these instructions on how to setup Subversion on Windows by Jeff. Doesn’t look like a breeze to setup (hence why the online solutions look great at the moment) but worthy of keeping around.

Andrew Hegdes created a PHP Function reference widget that provides fast lookup of information about the PHP web programming language. Just turned version one, and he’s looking for a little feedback. Haven’t seen anything like this yet, so bookmarking when i switch full time to Mac.

I blogged about the WPhone plugin before, but the Wordpress MU Plugin has been modified the plugin for WordpressMU user. Actually, i’m linking to someone linking to the direct download because I don’t see any mention of this on the actual author’s blog.

If you are building search functionality for a site and want something beyond “simple matches” where your MySQL code ends up using the LIKE keywords, then check out how to use regexp with php and MySQL to get better search results from those using quotes in the search results (”glass windows”) when looking for an exact statement.

I’ve been looking for this. The Page Excerpt plugin allows you to specify a specifc excerpt for WordPress pages (like pages). Now upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 (one of the first plugins that i’ve seen advertise this, with more sure to follow).

Those who use Mint or Google Analytics might want to watch this video on Woopra. The concept was impressive (imagine looking at these stats if you were ever Digged). Not saying this thing is rates a 10 on the “awesome” meter, but it is something to keep an eye open for.

MooFilm is a Mootools-Based Tooltip Fader for Images. Nice addition to MooTools bookmarks I guess.

Andre Michelle is leading a campaign called Adobe MAKE SOME NOISE that is calling for Adobe to take some action and fix a pretty big problem with the Actionscript Sound API in the latest Flash Player and also to rally together support to show Adobe that alot of people need/want more control over sound with Actionsript in the next version of the Flash Player.

Adobe Photoshop Express is basically a flash version of Photoshop. Well, a really streamlined photoshop. Like John said, it’s a web app that should be compared to a “web-based competitor to iPhoto” then anything Photoshop. In other words, no where near as complex.

I’ve been playing with it for a few minutes only. I like how you can store photos (2GB?). I’m wondering if there’s an AIR app in the works.

Easy CSS Tooltip: “A really simple and basic Crossbrowser Tooltip on your website.”

The title is actually “9 of the best Rich Text editors reviewed” although these aren’t reviews… more like descriptions and links. Which is ok, but a little misleading.

Here are some noted changes in database structure from Wordpress 2.3 to 2.5. Nothing big, but if you design plugins and such you need to bookmark this. I would imagine at this stage it’s final.

Groundswell has a new tool that allows you to see free worldwide consumer data on social activity. Interesting, and useful for a bullet point in a PowerPoint slide. [ via jbernoff ]

Jeremiah Owyang, probably one of my favorite new guys on social media, talks about the new feature “My Starbucks Ideas” where customers can submit, discuss, and vote on ideas (that’s not the best description, but it’s something you’ll get once you see it). If you have interest in Web 2.0 or Social Networking trends, this is a good quick read. This functionality screams for someone to make it into a WordPress plugin.

Dave over at mezzoblue tells us his method of giving users a choice if they are viewing a site on a mobile device or tv (Wii, Playstation, etc.). This is a useful tip, even for those with iPhones and iPod Touchs (iTouch).
