Upcoming Blog Changes

By  on  

The BluDice blog will be going under some major changes during the upcoming month, including:

  • Domain change to "davidwalsh.name"
  • Added "Tools" section, where I will provide numerous Web Developer tools to allow you to compress your CSS, HTML, and JavaScript, and much more
  • Custom design -- even I know the current one is awful
  • Blog posts with images and in-depth examples (I've been holding off on some cool MooTools stuff for the new design)
  • More personalized content -- the site wont be about my person life, but I plan to throw more of my own flavor into writing.
  • More reader interaction. I'd like to do a "mailbag" post from time to time, where you can ask questions.
Do you have any requests or ideas for the blog? Please share them!

    Do / Undo Functionality with MooTools

    We all know that do/undo functionality is a God send for word processing apps. I've used those terms so often that I think of JavaScript actions in terms of "do" an "undo." I've put together a proof of concept Do/Undo class with MooTools. The MooTools...
