I have recently been installing ImageMagick on my server for use on my other site Celeb O Rama, but because I am on Dreamhost I can’t just install what I like, like you would on a server that you own. So by using the Dreamhost Wiki I installed ImageMagick, but there are no instructions on [...]
So you’ve just installed ImageMagick, but how do you make your thumbnails in it? Ahhh, a very good question my friend.
Why Not Use Imagick?
Well like my server, not all servers have the Imagick extention for PHP installed. Also I think (personal opinion, shock) the command line is a better way to use ImageMagick. Right let’s [...]
Recently roguedeals came to me asking for help with my plugin The Attached Image & of course I helped as much as I could. It’s always nice to be appreciated for the help I give, but the kindness that roguedeals showed was amazing. Roguedeals bought me The Dark Knight on blu-ray from my Amazon Wish [...]
Phew. That’s quite a title. This tutorial was requested by Heather Lickliter yesterday who wanted a line of images similar to that of another theme, namely the Album theme.

Making a options page for a WordPress plugin isn’t actually that hard. It’s just the page WordPress have on how to do it isn’t exactly the easiest thing to read. So I thought I would show you how I made my options page for The Attached Image. Hopefully it will be easier to understand and [...]
Ok, so yesterday I did a tutorial about making a animation similar to that which WordPress uses when you delete posts etc. You know the fade to red & slide up thing… Yep? Good.
Ok, so I don’t want to act like I’m copying or anything, but a few people asked me recently how to make an animation like WordPress has when it deletes a row in it’s tables. Well in Mootools it can be acheved by following this great tutorial by David Walsh. However I was asked how [...]
So continuing on with my simple tutorials for people who are just learning to code. Here is a simple jQuery tutorial that will show you how to make the classic box that hides content when a button is clicked, but with a fancy sliding animation.
