InnerFade: A Quick & Easy Way To Fade Items With JQuery

You may have noticed that the recent comments on this blog are no longer displayed as a list. They are now displayed as a fading slideshow, a fade-show if you will. This fade-show effect was accomplished using the very easy to implement InnerFade plugin for JQuery. I also used the same technique on my newly released On The Field Wordpress theme.

Normally, I would provide some insight and some sample code to show how everything works, but in this case, the plugin page does an excellent job. If you have any further questions, leave it in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer.

Back From Yosemite

I’m back from my 5 day excursion into the depths of Yosemite Valley. It was a blast filled with grueling hiking, wild river crossings, water rafting, bear encountering adventures & more. Unfortunately, I decided to leave my camera gear back home just because I didn’t want to stay focused only seeing yosemite through the lens.

Nonetheless, I’m back and ready to work.

Well, I’m Off to Yosemite

In a few hours I will be leaving to Yosemite National Park. I will be packing my camera gear and should be coming back this upcoming Monday with plenty of photographs to share.

If you need to get in contact with me, well, it may not happen. I will not be bringing my laptop, since it will most likely become Bear food.
