Filtering Blocks v2
Posted on January 6th, 2010 by Chris Coyier
This is an update to the first version of filtering blocks I did a while back. The idea is that you have a long list or large set of “blocks” on the page. Each block belongs to a certain group. There is navigation on the page for viewing all of them at once, or selecting which group you would like to see. Selecting a particular group hides the blocks from any other group, hence...
Cross Domain iframe Resizing
Posted on January 5th, 2010 by Chris Coyier
<iframe>’s which display content from different domains have security measures in place to prevent all sorts of stuff. For example, you can’t have JavaScript access anything inside it.

I thought, we’re going on 2010 here, we might as well take this thing to the web!

Seeing The Details
Posted on December 30th, 2009 by Chris Coyier
When a great musician hears a great song, what do they hear? I am not a great musician so I can only speculate. I would guess that they listen for the emotion behind the song. Great songs are great because of their delivery of honest emotion, in any genre. I also think they listen for the intangibles. They try and put their fingers on the elusive qualities and little details that make a great song...

Posted on December 29th, 2009 by Chris Coyier
The print version of Digging Into WordPress the book is now available here. It’s been an awesome journey, taking this from idea to final product and having 100% control over everything. That is a story for another post, for now let’s take a look at the book!
