A while back I posted about automatically scrolling between internal links with some jQuery magic (which in turn was based on a tutorial by Learning jQuery) but one problem with it was that there was no way for the user to link to the anchor.
The problem was that because the function has to return false in order to keep the browser from jumping straight through to the anchor and skipping the animation. So I added …

I’ve had it with Firefox on Mac OS X. On Windows, it’s fine, but on Mac OS X it’s unbearable.

While version 5.0 only lasted about two weeks, I’ve finally settled on a design that I like quite a bit.

This has been floating around in my mind for a long time, but I think it’s time to finalize it. As of right now, I am completely leaving WordPress behind, at least development-wise. I will still continue using it for at least a while because I still think it’s good software, but I won’t be active in the mailing lists or the Trac system. My reasons are numerous, and I won’t list them here, but …
