Accordion Menu Using WordPress Menus in WordPress 3.0.x
In the current version of WordPress the navigations you can create using the WordPress 3.0 .x is are pretty amazing. Previously, only using a plugin could you achieve fancy effects. Recently while building a large corporate services site I had to setup WordPress 3.0 menus in an accordion. It’s a little trickier than I had guessed, but in the end the solution is pretty simple Using a very little jquery and a little WordPress 3.0 menu know how it turns out that it’s not that difficult to achieve an accordion effect. I found this tutorial in particular to be very helpful.
In addition the tutorial it helps to know that classes added within the WordPress menu builder can be defined this way:
li.main-cats a {
color: #FDBC4D;
font: 15px/18px "Arial Black", Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;
}
li.main-cats {
margin-top: 15px;
}
li.sub-main-cats a {
color: #000000;
font: 13px/15px "Arial Black", Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;
}
li.menu-item-object-post a {
padding-left: 15px;
background: url(images/bullet.gif) no-repeat left top;
padding-top: 3px;
}
As you can see all I need to do was add a class in the menu builder and setup that class to have some different font styling than the rest to look really good. In this case the class set in the WordPress menu generator was “main-cats” and “sub-main-cats”. But in order to set the styles you must use “li.menu-cats”…

On a recent wordpress job I needed a way to count posts and show a number for the post. For example Article 1, Article 2, etc. In my case I need that count to start at 100. So Article 100, Article 101 and so on. I searched for days without ever finding anything, then on a random stumble I found this:

Leaked Rham and Blago Conversation

So it looks like Blago has gotten off with just a damaged ego and a more minor conviction. I have been following this news thread for a while now. I remember when this story first hit the headlines. Blago taken to jail in sweats. At that time we heard only two or three lines of this conversation constantly referenced in the news. Well finally, finally, we get the rest of the lines. I don’t know if this is real but even if it’s not it’s worth a read. I mean this is so great it can’t possibly be made up. Could it?

Updates to this site nearly complete!
I am listening to Cirlcesquare this week’s music discovery as I write this brief note. I have been working very hard this week on updating this site. I have completely changed the theme adding tons of new features. Mostly, these updates are only for my benefit. Visitors probably will not even notice that I have automatic image resizing going. What you will notice though, is a re-designed portfolio viewing experience and a much faster response time from this site. It’s funny I spend so of my time making websites that my own site had lagged very far behind my own expertise. The things you learn in a year…
