I’ve had a snippet of jQuery and javascript kicking around for a while, that I have found handy in the past for generating post slugs. Finally I’ve packaged it as a plugin to share: jQuery Slug Plugin.
This is my first jQuery plugin, so it doesn’t follow the more advanced plugin development pattern by Mike Alsup, instead I followed a more rudimentary plugin authoring tutorial.
Here’s an explanation of the plugin, and examples of its usage.
In North Bay snacking news, my friend Sherry Milford’s organic, wheat-free, vegan baking is now available at Twigg’s on Fraser street.
Sherry of Heal Thy Health is a certified nutrition consultant, and along with her partner Yan Roberts is also the proprietor of the Piebird Bed and Breakfast, in Nipissing Village.
“Hello” to everyone and anyone who is reading this. I’m starting a blog pretty late into the game, kind of like a manager who suggests “Wouldn’t it be a great idea to have a guestbook on the site? So users can leave their name, a comment and their email address?” in 2005. Besides the obvious SEO benefits of having a blog where I regularly discuss North Bay Web Design (that was cheap), I think it will give me the opportunity to be a more active participant in the web design community. I’ve lurked and read tutorials on some awesome blogs, have benefited from CSS test suites painstakingly created by volunteers and examples/workarounds of bugs, etc. and I feel that I’ve greatly improved my skills since starting out, and now I will be able to contribute something to the community that helped me along.
In the future, I plan to share jQuery plugins, CodeIgniter libraries, and anything else I code that may be useful to other developers.
