Hi, I'm Jeff. I'm the editor of Nettuts+, and the Site Manager of Theme Forest. I spend too much time in front of the computer and find myself telling my fiance', "We'll go in 5 minutes!" far too often. I just can't go out to dinner while I'm still producing FireBug errors...drives me crazy. During my free time, I sporadically write articles for my own personal blog. If it will keep you in the good graces of the church, follow us on Twitter.

PageLime makes the process of editing static websites laughably easy. There are times when a full CMS like WordPress is far too complicated when only simple edits are required – not to mention the fact that a static template must first be modified accordingly to work with WordPress. Wouldn’t it be easier if your current static website could instantly be integrated with a service, without requiring hours of conversion time? This is where PageLime comes in.

In today’s video tutorial, we’ll go through the process of purchasing a site template on ThemeForest, and then integrating that specific template with PageLime, resulting in a website which is super easy to update…even for your mom.

In addition, we’ll also implement a bit of server and client-side validation to better secure our data. When submitting to the database, we’ll also review the most secure methods, including the use of prepared statements, which will bind the necessary values to each query, rather than embed them.

It’s amazing to see version four of a browser which has only been available for a little over a year. Compare that to Firefox, which took over six years to reach 3.6. Perhaps it’s just super smart marketing, or perhaps Chrome is putting an enormous amount of energy into the browser wars.

How to Build a Content Slider jQuery Plugin

How to Build a Simple Content Slider jQuery Plugin

Oct 30th in Screencasts by Jeffrey Way

I was recently asked by a reader to recommend a helpful content slider plugin. No doubt, there are a bunch of excellent options available — some which are, perhaps, too excellent! With so much flexibility comes extra weight; especially when sometimes you only need a simple slide or fade transition.

So I figured, why not build a simple custom plugin that will get the job done?
