I just updated the Ajax Tabs Tutorial. I realized that four lines of the code that it discusses had a few typos in it. It is fixed now and should be working much better. Sorry for the incovenience!

I’m still working hard on updating the theme for Simply-Basic.com. I’m very pleased with the progress so far, especially since I’ve been pretty busy lately. But the good news is that the hard part is done. Now I’m just tweaking fonts, images, side bar info, etc. I’m hoping to have the theme done by next weekend. I’ve been building and testing the theme on my local installation of wordpress. The website may be down off and on for a few hours while I’m updating files and making sure everything is working. So that’s the news for today, I’ll make sure to give a few hours notice before I start the update next week.

While I’m on the topic of Wordpress themes, Twigged.net has just published an article that lists a lot of free Wordpress themes. It is a great resource for those looking for a new theme. He’s grouped them by category such as e-zines, business themes, tech themes, etc. It comes complete with screen shots, and direct links to the preview where available. Quite an impressive list indeed. Check it out here.

Enter jungleTANGO. jungleTANGO is a brand new site that offers a streamlined way for developers to sell their new themes. Also, it provides a way for amature theme developers to sell their themes easily. How does it work? Let’s take a look.

By now most people have heard of JS-Kit, the ever-popular, freakishly simple, non-obtrusive, self-contained, mostly-free widget service. JS-Kit is a ten person company that works full time on creating and maintaining these website tools. Their current selection of services is a Ratings widget, a full-featured Comments widget, Polls, and a so-called Top Rated widget that summarizes data from the Ratings widget. The best part? With the exception of Top Rated, these widgets are free and contain no ads.

This past week I had the opportunity to ask some questions of Khris Loux, CEO of JS-Kit, about the future of his fast-growing widget company. We talked about some of the exciting changes recently made to JS-Kit, as…
