Freedom Software, Competition, and WordPress Plugins
You’ve done something noteworthy when people are willing to tell you publicly that they don’t like it. Such is the case with my Wordpress plugin, jQuery Table of Contents.

WordPress jQuery Table of Contents plugin

Simple Table Of Contents in JQuery
I developed a handy Table of Contents script using JQuery for another project, now abandoned, and I decided to implement it on this website (which uses Wordpress). This assumes that you have JQuery already loaded and are using Wordpress 2.9 or newer.
Simple flashcards using JQuery
I wanted to create some flashcards for my Jesus and the Gospels class, where the final exam involves being given a large number of fill-in-the-blank questions. I also wanted to try out JQuery, a lightweight Javascript toolkit that has fascinated me for a while. The result is quite impressive for very little work.
To add items to the flashcards, you mark up text that looks like this:
How now brown cow?
So that it looks like this:
<p>How now <span class=”words”>brown</span> cow?</p>
I inlined the JQuery 1.2.1 library, wrote a tiny bit of glue to make things look good, and the result can be downloaded here: BI190 Flashcards using JQuery.
