I have yet again, developed a new look and operation to the DesignMonkeys Webpage. I have kept the blogging and comment system the same but added some extra functionality and cleaned the code up a bit.

A nice feature that I have added to the site, is the uploading and posting of media via users comments.



I have added the ability to post videos onto users comments. The user simply adds the URL of the video they want to post and then it is added into to the text area of the comment form, all the user needs to do is post the comment and the video is posted.

A month ago I went out for a night out with my girlfriend and friends to an acoustic set at a local bar in my hometown called the Grey Lady.

The final act to play was a talented musician called Daniel Kyle. He was amazing and have been listening to his music a lot lately and thought I would share it with the Blog.

Shootin' The Breeze

JQuery SuperSleight

An annoying problem that only happens in the frustrating browser that is IE6, is the fact that it does not allow for alpha transparency in PNG files!!


On trawling the Internet for a way to fix this problem, I stumbled on a very nice JQuery Plugin that allows for transparent PNG's in Internet Explorer 6.

Something that I have tried to figure out for ages when designing the comment system for my Blog is, how are people going to know to put tags around text they want to change?

The answer to this was simple, I needed to find or create a function that recognised what piece of text the user has highlighted and to encase the tags around them myself.
