Promote MDN WordPress Plugin

Mozilla WordPress Plugin

I'm very happy to share with you the Promote MDN WordPress plugin, created by Mozilla Web Developer Luke Crouch.  The Promote MDN plugin analyzes your blog post content and links prominent development keywords to the Mozilla Developer Network.  MDN is the best resource for learning about new and advanced browser APIs, front-end techniques, and just about everything else.

From a writer's perspective, I look forward to installing this plugin because it will allow me to talk about APIs without having to explain each in detail.  The plugin will also be helpful in implicitly encouraging readers to explore each topic further.  If you have a blog, give this plugin a shot -- your readers will be grateful!

    Unicode CSS Classes

    CSS class name structure and consistency is really important; some developers camelcase classnames, others use dashes, and others use underscores.  One thing I've learned when toying around by HTML and CSS class names is that you can actually use unicode symbols and icons as classnames.
