Google+ integration

21, Oct 2011

I wanted a tighter integration with my blog and my Google+ stream to avoid having to visit two places. I have added a little widget which will display the latest posts.

Lightbox 2 and XHTML 1.1 validation

14, Apr 2010

I recently started using the Lightbox 2 WordPress plugin on my Marbella news site to automatically add the zooming overlay effect to certain images. It is really plug & play and works out of the box. I did encounter however that my pages stopped validating as XHTML 1.1 which is the standard doctype on all […]
