I&rsquo;ve got one post in the works, and hopefully I will be able to finish it up next week. Here is what I found interesting last week (and the beginning of this week):<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nettuts.com\/javascript-ajax\/adding-form-validation-to-wordpress-comments-using-jquery\/\">Adding Form Validation to WordPress Comments using jQuery<\/a>\n<p>I had actually been considering writing a post like this. With a just a few short lines of JavaScript, you give users a much better experience when trying to submit a comment. (Note: see my comment form as another example.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zeldman.com\/2008\/07\/14\/your-us-tax-dollars-at-work\/\">Your US tax dollars at work<\/a>\n<p>So the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cra.org\/ccc\/\">Computing Community Consortium<\/a> launched their website the other day, at it was a blatant rip-off of <a href=\"http:\/\/alistapart.com\/\">A List Apart<\/a>. They have since changed it, but you can <a href=\"http:\/\/floatingsun.net\/2008\/07\/13\/inspiration-or-imitation\">check out the screenshots here<\/a>. It wasn&rsquo;t even like they just designed it to look similar, they straight up stole the mark-up and CSS. I will say that the CCC handled it correctly, but how did they let it happen in the first place?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!--more-->\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/development\/2008\/07\/wordpress-26-tyner\/\">WordPress 2.6<\/a>\n<p>The WordPress team was able to launch version 2.6 a month before it was supposed to! Not any huge differences, but there are some nice small changes. I would recommend taking a few minutes to watch the video. I love the redesigned plugins page and the post revisions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/alistapart.com\/issues\/263\">A List Apart: Issue 263<\/a>\n<p>Only one real article in this issue: <a href=\"http:\/\/alistapart.com\/articles\/walkingthelinewhenyouworkfromhome\">Walking the Line When You Work from Home<\/a>, but it is a great article describing how to succeed while working at home.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>","4":{"website":{}}}}
