how to make WordPress interact with SlideShowPro as it does on my portfolio site. I have chosen not to, but instead make two small scripts that will do all the work for you. For both files, change the filename extension to php and upload it to the root directory of your WordPress install. post_gallery.phps site_gallery.phps When editing your SlideShowPro, you will simply have to set it grab /post_gallery.php or /post_gallery.php instead of /images.xml

ACCORDION EXAMPLE Single click title bar for any tab to show its content.

The main players in the world of ready-made Ajax Javascript libraries right now are Script.aculo.us and moo.fx. The Script.aculo.us collection uses the Prototype Javascript library, the scriptaculous.js javascript file and a couple of other files that work together to produce a very stable and large number of Ajax effects. Script.aculo.us works and looks great on most browsers, but the total file size of just prototype.js alone exceeds 50kb. For anyone who has any experience with web optimization, you know that an added 50kb file can easily make a site that loads normally in 3-4 seconds take almost 10 more seconds for slow connections. Unfortunately, most of the world is still using connections with 56kbps or less and you can lose a considerable amount of traffic with a slow site. But that’s another topic to discuss. This is where moo.fx comes into play. Mad4Milk’s moo.fx was developed exactly for this reason - it is essentially a stripped version of the Prototype framework and a couple of other scripts that aid in creating the effects. And the total file size? All of the files are a combined 12kb! As far as effects go, they are surely limited (to an extent I’m not sure of yet), but the popular ones that you’ll most likely use are offered by Prototype.lite.

H2.0, the WordPress theme being used here, is the result of my modifications to Hemingway by Kyle Neath.

The best resources and downloads for running your WordPress blog Hemingway Ajaxified

I love many elements of Hemingway, and so I enjoy seeing modifications on the theme. Over at UtomBox they have released a green, black and white version that looks rather nice. Comments button is a little over the top for me. It supports UTW and Gravatar1.0. A great theme to check out if you don’t want to look too “blog-like”.
