As usual I googled immensely to find someone doing it the way I thought it should be done, and didn’t find quite the right thing. I did find a good starting point from Wes Ray, jQuery Accordion for Wordpress. There were a few features that weren’t working, and then some that I found necessary to add.
This is a simple way to get this working, but in all my googling I didn’t come across a write-up. Here is how I got the beautiful jQuery Galleria to replace the default WordPress gallery. This is my ideal solution, and I am actively using it as a Photography CMS for a client’s portfolio.
I was initially envious of my coworker’s iPhones. I had a Blackberry of the Pearl and Curve generation, and it was outclassed in every way. But then I heard about the iPod touch, and realized I could save about $600 per year (in data fees) by buying this $200 device and cutting off my data on the Blackberry. Now I’m not connected all the time mind you, which is sometimes frustrating, but I like to think it keeps me sharp.
On every Wordpress site we draft up, we’ll need to extend the basic functionality. It’s a great system, but it isn’t intended to provide a full website out of the box. We use these free plugins to kick it up a notch, hopefully you’ll find one of our magic bullets useful.
