Happy 11/11/11 or as the English say, “Happy 11/11/11″. This week was full of WordPress creation for me and some of the snippets I used are below. Enjoy!
jQuery
While working on a new WordPress site I came across an issue. I had to pull in posts via RSS feed, and in doing that was pulling in images. The images had an extra margin of 10px on each side and I wanted to remove that. In order to achieve that effect, I tossed this piece of jQuery into the head of my page.
<!-- allows you to give a margin of 0 to the images being pulled in -->
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(".three-posts .entry p img").css("margin","0");
});
</script>

Understanding CSS 3D Transforms
A great post about understanding the finer parts of CSS 3D transforms. Definitely a lot of valuable information in here.
WordPress
For one site I am creating, I need to load posts for the current day. Instead of hardcoding it, I used this piece of PHP.
<?php // gets the current date and spits out posts for today's date and category 13 $today = getdate(); query_posts( 'year=' . $today["year"] . '&cat=13&showposts=3&monthnum=' . $today["mon"] . '&day=' . $today["mday"] ); ?>
FeedWordPress Plugin Page
A plugin that I’ve started using is called FeedWordPress, it’s on of the most customizable RSS Feed aggregators I’ve seen to date.
