I’m proud to announce my first WordPress plugin, “jQuery Table of Contents,” which inserts the lovely little table of contents you see on many of the pages of my website. It uses jQuery to inspect the content of your post or page and generate table of contents links based on the header tags. It’s easy, SEO friendly, and highly customizable.

Trying out Twitter

Looking for something interesting to add to my online presence, I decided to try out Twitter. I’m not really sure why I haven’t tried it out until now.

Apparently, fewer than 40% of people stay on Twitter after they start using it – a phenomenon so prevalent that it even has a name: “Twitter Quitter.” I don’t really like the idea of abandoning a social network after I join, so maybe that’s why I haven’t jumped in before. Also, most everyone I know is on Facebook, and I really can’t stand the idea of updating multiple accounts. So I’m not sure exactly why I have decided to try it out now, either.

I installed Twitter Tools to tie this website in with Twitter, so hopefully when I post here it’ll show up there, too. This complements the functionality of WordBook for Facebook integration.

Alas, I am on Twitter, for now. So if you are too, go ahead and add me.
