Inline Collapsed Content with jQuery

One of the things I find ListML really handy for is planning a presentation/talk. I write up a hierarchical list of all the things I want to cover using ListML, then I can work from that list to build out my slides/demos/etc. For the recent WordCamp NYC, I needed to present 2 structured talks, so I went to work in ListML and knocked up 2 lists of things to cover. Once I was done with the talks, I realized that there was some good content in these lists that a) served as a bit of a transcript to the talks themselves, and b) in some cases wasn’t actually covered (for time reasons, or just because I forgot them).

I wanted to be able to post these lists to my site along with the presentations, but didn’t really want to post a whole separate page for each one just to put up a simple HTML list.

Changes afoot(er)

I’ve been tinkering in the footer of this site a bit, check it out and let me know what you think. Nothing major, but I’ve…

  • Added some shadows to make the footer appear “sunken”,
  • Added some neato jQuery so you can collapse the footer if you’re not interested,
  • Added icons next to the header of each block.

When I get a chance I’m going to make another version of my current sidebar lifestream that will accept iCal feeds and create a simple, combined feed so that I can include Upcoming.org, Facebook and Meetup.com events in my events feed as well. That is all, carry on.

FullCalendar

“FullCalendar is a jQuery plugin that provides a full-sized, drag & drop calendar like the one below. It uses AJAX to fetch events on-the-fly for each month and is easily configured to use your own feed format (an extension is provided for Google Calendar). It is visually customizable and exposes hooks for user-triggered events (like clicking or dragging an event).”
