Add RTL support to Superfish jQuery menu plugin
posted November 20th, 2009 at 8:17 pm by chadGallery 3's core themes use the Superfish menu plugin for jQuery. Superfish provides very nice multi-level dropdown menus, but it does not include support for RTL languages.
So along with other recent work to provide better RTL support for Gallery 3 themes, I also wrote the following RTL overrides for Superfish.
Flip it, flip it good: Quick tips for supporting RTL languages in your web application
posted November 20th, 2009 at 12:54 am by chadI've been working with themes in Gallery for 6 years and it wasn't until recently that I started to give due consideration to a significant portion of Gallery's users, those whose native language is written from right to left. Shame on me, because it's really not that difficult to add proper RTL text and layout support to web applications. I hope the following helps out those who need to do the same.

EventBox: Keep up with Twitter and Facebook status updates, and much more

Ever since giving up last year and jumping into the social network fray I've been looking for a good status update viewer and aggregator. I'm trying to keep up with updates from a growing list of family, friends, and peers on Twitter, Facebook, and occasionally Flickr. I'm using Ping.fm to cross post status updates. I've tried the dedicated clients and plugins, but none worked for me quite as well as EventBox.
