A Wordpress “Lorem Ipsum Test Post” Pack

When I work with WordPress to create a new website, I often find myself having to make a lot of dummy posts to test out themes layouts and styles. But it can become very boring to do it every time you work on a new theme.
So I found last week a post pack made by Nick Pagano on ThinkDesignBlog.com who offer us to download an useful pack with posts, pages and categories for testing everything.
Thanks to him!

MiniAJAX

Want to add some friendly and dynamic features to your website but the development of script is not your strong point. This is where MiniAjax intervenes. This web site brings together in one page many sources as possible, free scripts and guides.
Among my favorites, and more interesting for a user-friendly site:
- Bubble Tooltips (this script yields a nice little popup info bubble)
- jQuery Portlets (boxes of content that can be expanded or coallapsed and dragged to a new position)
- DHTML Color Picker (very light weight color picker)
- TJPzoom (makes large images completely visibly through small page-areas)

Font Comparer - A tool for Google Font-Face.

Font Comparer is an on-line tool which allows to compare easily the various font proposed by Google Font Web, with texts and customizable styles.
Indeed, since CSS3 who brought the property so expected from integrators (@font-face), it is henceforth possible to use any font on its web site, even if the visitor does not have this last one on its own computer.
So, Google proposes a directory of font, varied and ready for use, but it is not necessarily easy to choose the good font. It is there that Font Comparer intervenes by displaying the depiction of all the font of Google Font Web in live.

<link href=’http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=<;span id=”urlFamily”>Quattrocento+Sans</span>’ rel=’stylesheet’ type=’text/css’>

Which is equivalent in:

@font-face {
    font-family: ‘Quattrocento Sans’;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    src: local(‘Quattrocento Sans’), local(‘QuattrocentoSans’), url(‘http://themes.googleusercontent.com/font?kit=efd6FGWWGX5Z3ztwLBrG9b2aU247V0zTzydO4RoO9Ok’) format(‘woff’);
}

CleanMyWall - or How to clean his Facebook wall in 2 clicks?

Like me, a lot of people wonder: “how can I clean all my wall on Facebook in one blow” (N°1 of the social networks) and especially how delete the delirious messages posted for friends, but who can sometimes carry damage in case of job search.

Some people would have noticed it, but Facebook limits the options of deletion and for delete an entry of your wall, three clicks are necessary. Then, for those who have 500 entries on their walls (what is little for some of you), you will need several hours of working to erase everything.

But other solutions exist. The most radical solution would be to delete entirely its profile, but this is not really what we wished. At best, the user wishes to make a big cleaning of the messages of his wall, what is henceforth possible thanks to this small tool which is going to delete automatically your entries on your wall one by one to your place. Instead of taking days, your wall will be emptied in a few minutes. This other fast, easy and free solution consists in the installing a plugin on his browser who will clean your account automatically by erasing all the entries one after the other. Sometimes, the system blocks after a certain number of deletions. Cancel simply and begin again the operation and you can let turn the script all night long without taking care of it.

For that purpose, it is enough to follow these 3 step:
1. Save the link of the white button on the right  ‘Install’ by returning on the following link.
2. Go on your profile Facebook
3. Click the bookmark ‘Clean My Wall ’ whom you have just created and enjoy!
