Happy Sunday everyone. Firstly, I want to say sorry to you faithful visitors for no post on Friday. It was a very hectic week right down to the very end. I expected to have my Paypal account back by now, but looks like I'll have to wait until Tuesday for a verdict on that one. I expected Rock Solid to be out today, but it looks like you guys will have to wait until Monday morning. Right now I'm just doing the very final bug testing. Sorry about that to all of you looking forward to that one. Anyway, lets take a look at some of the best posts of the week, shall we?
The Week in Review
The week of Feburary 22nd to March 1st, 2009 was very good in terms of quality posts. I made quite a popular post about how to accomplish the CSS Parallax Background Effect here as well as announced my entry into the WPWebhost Best Wordpress Design competition. I feel pretty good about it, but we'll see what happens. Here are some of the better posts that were made throughout the blogosphere this week.
- ViciousDuck.org - 5 Ways To Easily Test Cross Browser Compatibility
- NetTuts - Top 50 Wordpress Tutorials
- CSS-Tricks - Simple jQuery Dropdowns
I'm incredibly relieved to have read ViciousDuck's post on how to test browser compatibility with Xenocode Browser Sandbox. I've downloaded it and I'm in love with it. Definitely one of the lesser known and most powerful way to test cross-browser compatibility. NetTut's post about 50 Wordpress Tutorials was incredibly useful and I've only just skimmed the post. I haven't had time yet to sit down and thoroughly read but from what I've seen, it's so worth it to bookmark that bad boy. I intended to add jQuery dropdowns to Rock Solid, too bad CSS-Tricks didn't get that post about simple jQuery plugins out sooner :\ .
Plans and Whatnot
Well, once Monday is finished, I'm basically done with school until March 11th due to state testing that I've already passed, so I've got plenty of time to work on personal projects. Actually, that's not completely true. My whole schedule depends on what happens with my Paypal account. Wish me luck with that one guys.
Secondly, I'm in the process of getting sponsors for a pretty cool giveaway here on ForTheLose.org. I'm hoping to start it sometime next week, but it all depends on how fast I can get everything organized. This is definitely worth looking out for, as the prizes are going to be some beastly things. I'd recommend following me on Twitter or subscribing to the RSS Feed so you won't miss out.
Let's see. That may be about it. Hope you guys have a great Sunday, see ya.
