Widgets Integration on WordPress 2.2

Hey dude! WordPress 2.2 is out now. As usual there are numbers of bug fixes and cool new features. The most notably feature which i love in this version is Widgets integration.

With this cool feature you don’t have to hardcode the widget’s script into your theme anymore, instead it can be installed and arranged using your administration panel. So you don’t have to worry when you need to change your theme, every widget will still show up as they were.

See, mybloglog widget on my sidebar? i put it there using this widget integration panel. All you need is to copy-paste the widget’s script into the text area in the widget panel. You can even arrange the position of the widget by drag n’ drop UI. Very nice!

Google Developer Podcast

Aha, finally, Google developer podcast is coming to town. The first episode talks about Google Guice with its developer, Crazy Bob.

I can’t wait to hear the interview with Google data API developer. They’re rock!

Warning: this podcast is very very technical, not good for non-technical people. 🙂

So, you think you know Javascript, but you have no idea

We all know that Javascript made web-2.0 possible. Some of us even defined web-2.0 as “Javascript finally works”. But do we really know Javascript?

Despite its popularity, people still misunderstood Javascript as just a “script” or some kind of toy, not a programming language. People i know still confuse Javascript with other popular language (Java).

This great presentation by Douglas Crockford from Yahoo! showed us that JavaScript is a very nice dynamic object-oriented general-purpose programming language.

Blue

Blue is my favourite color. Somehow it makes me comfortable, peace and happy. So, when i found this bluetiful theme from N Design Studio, i grabbed it at once and here you go, the new me.

I know, some of my previous widget and badge are missing. I’ll put them on once i get the chance. But for now, let’s just enjoy this blue me.
