Encode Email Address in WordPress Posts with a Shortcode

Spam

Placing an email address into a page is not a good idea in this day and age - actually for a number of years now - where harvest bots are trolling the Interwebs looking for nice juicy bits of data that can be passed onto those that like to send you SPAM messages.

Fortunately, if you are a WordPress user you can use the code below to add Shortcode functionality to your WordPress Theme so you can use an email address directly in the page.

jQuery goToByScroll()

This was a little JS snippet that was passed to me by a co-worker at Mannix Marketing, Inc. that allows you to build the UI into a scrolling page.

Get the code...

The original code is found here, where you can see a demo of the code.

I have saved the code at Pastebin - pastebin.com/1SbZ3rNP

Simple Tabs w/ CSS & jQuery

Well, since sohtanaka.com has been down for a while, I have lost access to some great resources. No fear, I have managed to get most of them back from archive.org - but what a pain that is; slow, slow, slow...

Anyway, with credit where credit is due - sohtanaka.com - I'm going to post some of those articles here so I have a simple easy way to get to the code I need.  Hopefully this will help you out too!

Conversion to HTML5 Experiment

IE9-vs.-Chrome

This morning, while the girls were napping, I took advantage of this time to take a first sincere look at HTML5 and attempted to recreate the theme of this website using HTML5 tags like <header />, <section /> and <footer />.

You can see the result here - http://www.tobyandjoann.com/html5/ - I think that it turned out fairly well, with nothing too major out-of-place... that is until you look at it Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.  WOW!  I know that HTML5 is not supported very well, but I was staggered by the results, since never played with this before.

What was the result?

In Google Chrome 11 beta, the result was exactly as I expected:

In Microsoft Internet Explorer 8... well... disaster at best!
