I’ve been asking for many times on how do I create that sliding showcase on my sidebar. well… I forgot where I’ve grab it originally, and I’m not a good tutorial teller, so I pack it up for you.

It’s css based and easy to embed it to your blog/website, if you need that ’slider’ transition effect just like mine, you need to use Prototype as well, put the following into your markup file:

<script type="text/javascript" src="prototype.js"></script>

I’ve replaced Wordpress smilies with these PNGs version (by David Lanham? I don’t know). It looks fabulous! I would like to share it with all of you, you can grab it now, enjoy

I’m so exciting to know that Problogdesign has made a review on the design of vikiworks, big thanks to their exclusive evaluation.

Updates Sep 16: I’ve fixed the comment issue when you’re using IE6/7, also I remove ’submit button’ instead of with default one, now it works fine. Big thanks to Steve who did a lot coding work to improving this theme and thanks for all your comments and feedback, I really do. I also attached a background image with that curved shadow, please download the zip file.

As I promised you earlier that I will release my current WP theme (I call it ‘resurrection’ and you can call it whatever you like) to public download. Well… here it is.

I have removed some of my personal stuff such as my cellphone, PSP, Yankee hat etc from background image instead of something else, you can change it in anyway by doing a little photoshop work.

This extension is specially for designing Wordpress template build under DW. Non-config-required installation, just grab it and click the extension (.exp) file and it will do the rest of work. Launch your dreamweaver, and you will find a tab menu as figured below.

As you can see, the Wordpress tab includes a set of PHP code objects: Vcard, loop, header and template include and extra stuff. Apparently it saving your development time in an effective way. Enjoy!

今天特意将Header中的Slogan重新在Flash中做了一次，加了动画效果，感觉比以前生动些了。
