Quickly Creating Javascript Tooltips
Filed under CSS, HTML, Javascript
I’ve noticed that a lot of sites do not use tooltips as much as they should. There are many places on a site where tooltips would really be nice. One example of using them correctly is TheSixtyOne. They use a nice tooltip when you are about to bump a song up. It quickly lets you know how many points it will cost and how many times you have bumped it. This post will hopefully inspire at least one of you to use tooltips more often.
The solution I have decided to use is UniTip from Unit Interactive. I believe they have the best solution to quickly setting up tooltips. Download the zip they provide and we should be ready to go.

Filed under Featured Sites
If you are a music fanatic, then you will be pleased to learn that the masterminds behind FlashFlashRevolution have launched another site called Rithum. Rithum is a music site built for musicians, featuring a custom built music player that bands can use as a replacement for the current myspace player. The music player itself is remarkable as it support high quality audio and streaming video all in the same package.
That alone is not what makes Rithum amazing. The community is very open and welcome to newcomers. There are already a few big name bands on Rithum, such as: Dashboard Confessional, Thrice, Jakob Dylan, and many many more. Rithum looks very promising, so it’s one you will want to keep an eye on. I know I will be.
Side note: I am still working on the next tutorial. It will be worth the wait.
