Dictionary II

Dictionary II

The lovely Dog of Dirk who created the Associative Dictionary on my sidebar has taken Mark’s suggestion from the comments and made a new version which starts with a random word from the database every time you load the page… and it’s excellent…

If you find a word that isn’t defined it’s up to you to define it…

Thanks, Dirk!

I’ve add another widget to the sidebar – an Associative Dictionary- a dictionary where you define the words. Each one of the words in a definition then has to be defined, you can then travel through the words reading and adding definitions as you go… If you want.

I started it off with ‘Love’ last night and left the definition blank… I see this morning that it’s been filled in…

AJAX-tastic

AJAX-tastic

Oh.

Finished my redesign and…. it’s really sexy, innit?

I am using WordPress, K2-the most beautiful theme around- and the WordPress widgets plugin. I’m using a few of the included widgets plus: the Ad Rotator widget (which I’m using to rotate Flickr images) and the ExecPHP widget (which I’m using to display my Ultimate Tag Warrior cloud).

I’ve implemented AJAX commenting and page scrolling. If you’re having any problems with anything, please let me know.

    Phew! I can finally say something about this. Brian was up for Dawkins' job, down to the final three (or was it four?!), but didn't get it. And the winner is...

  • Observer Article -

    Honestly, this isn't a blog just about Brian. That would be really weird... but... indulge me just a bit longer.

    Some of you may have seen the article about Brian in the Observer today. Now, you guys are intelligent and realise that not everything you read in a newspaper is accurate. This was made absolutely clear to me this morning as I was sitting in my bathrobe, hair all over the place, barefoot, all coffee breath, unshowered and read, "he married his American wife, glamorous TV presenter Gia Milinovich, in secret." :-/

    Ah well...
