Stacks Plug-ins
Sunday February 15, 2009 | Filed in: Plug-ins
Recently YourHead Software released an API for their RapidWeaver plug-in, Stacks. And since we love Stacks so much we decided to try our hand at making some plug-ins for Stacks.
We’ve started out with a plug-in that will allow you to add a Twitter stream, or multiple streams, to a Stacks page.
You can download it for free, and check it out in action here.
We have some more ideas for plug-ins for Stacks’ library, so keep an eye on the ol’ elixir blog for more details.

Shrinking your long URLs
Friday February 13, 2009 | Filed in: Side projects
I have recently begun to teach myself PHP through a wonderful course on Lynda.com in some of my ‘spare time.’
In the process I thought it would be a good idea to give myself a project to use as a testing ground for my new found, limited PHP knowledge. I set out to make a URL shortening service for myself. Rather than reinvent the wheel I used a little bit of open source code as a base and built up from there.
After a couple of days of work I ended up with Thurly. Hop on over and check it out. I’d love to get some feedback on it. I will probably tweak it over time and may even add more functionality. For not though it offers a web site for shortening URLs, a back-end API for applications and other sites, and a boomarklet to make shortening your URLs easy to do on the fly.
Feel free to use Thurly for your projects, Twitter, other social networking, whatever you like.

Float theme update v 1.3
Sunday February 01, 2009 | Filed in: Themes
(Version 1.3 - Updated on February 1, 2009)
• Fixes bug with header height in Internet Explorer 6. When Title and Slogan were disabled in the Site Setup, the header would collapse in IE 6. The height would remain the same in all other major browsers though. This has been fixed. For reference the Title and Slogan container 80 px tall.
• Fixes a small bug where the color of visited blog entry titles would revert to body link colors instead of the blog title color.
• Adds in several theme style presets. These are found at the bottom of the Page Inspector window in the button with the folder image on it.
The update is being done as an updater that run and fix only the affected files. You can download the updater here below. Simply run it and follow any on screen prompts.
This update is strongly suggested for all Float theme owners. This updater is not needed for users who purchase this theme after February 1, 2009.
This update also contains all of the fixes that were made in the Float v1.2 update. Details can be found here on that update.
