Building a Better Blogroll / WordPress Podcast
* August 8th, 2008 *
I wrote an article for NETTUTS that was published today. It’s called Building a Better Blogroll: Dynamic Fun with SimplePie and jQuery. In it, I make up a “widget” for pulling in recent headlines from the Envato family of blogs which you can switch between using the Coda Slider plugin for jQuery.
I was interviewed by Charles Stricklin of the WordPress Podcast on Episode 44. It starts about 58 minutes in. We talk about that series I did on Designing for WordPress.

I just read the NETTUTS tutorial, and totally skipped over who wrote it. However, when I got to the line “Design first, code later. I find the results are always better this way. A little playing around in Photoshop…”, I thought, “That sounds an awful lot like Chris. Odd…” Turns out it was you?! Funny!
Back on topic, I think that tutorial’s spot-on, Chris, and very helpful. I just looked over the API for Simplepie, and it’s incredible the kinds of opportunities it seems to present.
