I have become such a huge fan of JQuery because of its ease of use, great learning curve and not to mention the power behind it that I have decided to post up some great plug-ins I have come across around the web in hopes that others may find them as useful and educational as I have.
Some you may use, others you may find inspiration in. So here we go. * Note that they are in no particular order.
The purpose of this library is to make it extremely easy to add scrolling functionality to a website. Whenever you wish to scroll HTML elements in a visually-appealing manner, this is the only library you need.
External links should always be marked distinctly in order to see them easily. First I thought adding a CSS class to all a[href^=http] will be more then fine. After that I got the better idea of using the favicon.ico of the external site, if it is available of course.
Internal Links with Favicon using jQuery
After thinking about doing something with favicons and links, I came up with this very simple jQuery Plugin that would allow all the internal links in your website to actually have your own favicon implemented on the left side of the link.
Equal Height Columns with jQuery
Creating equal-height columns with CSS is sometimes a bear. But who needs the hassle of faux columns, “clear” divs and the rest? With this bit of jQuery, you can easily equalize the heights of any group of elements.

As I continue the development of the mobile edition of my website, I have decided to post a sort of play by play as more features get added to this project. I am ecstatic that it is turning out so well. I am aware of the limitations, but I am still hopeful that I can make this version (for the most part) compatible with mobile phones.
Here are the newest images.

as viewed from my iPhone
Well after some careful consideration into the matter, I have decided to put together an iPhone version of my website. I am very proud of the way that it actually came out and am thinking of adding some enhancements already.
I will soon be adding the ability for the user to post comments on news articles and the radar section as well as adding the videos section and some more features that are a secret right now.
I am very excited about this, so I decided to post about this milestone. I also need to intergrate the normal mobile edition into a mashup that should in theory work with or without javascript on mobile phones.
I really wish there was some standarization when it came to browsers both on a mobile platform and the normal platform that we are all used to. So if you have an iPhone, or any other mobile mobile and would like to check out the mobile edition click here.
