This how-to outlines the steps I used to add a subscribe to Google Groups form on my school website.

This tool downloads posts from a Blogger post feed and imports them to Tumblr Text posts. It preserves the following information.

The trick I’ve used is to create subdomains for each static page. My personal blog is at jerrybrito.org, but my about page is at about.jerrybrito.org. That “about” subdomain is not hosted by Tumblr; it’s hosted on my own server. I simply took the HTML for my Tumblr template and replaced the dynamic content (the code that calls for the blog posts) with the static text of my about page. Voila, a static page for Tumblr.

Jonathan Diba writes to ask how the effects are achieve on Tim Van Damme’s portfolio site, referring to Tim’s site as one of the most compelling site design he’s seen.

The two key effects Tim is using are a simplified accordion and a hover effect. It’s worth noting that the hover effect only works in WebKit (Safari & Chrome), but I’ll show you how to create the effect using jQuery too.

This project is the URL shortener Rails application running at http://url.akosma.com. Feel free to use the code in your own server!

I recently purchased shaun.in (ooh, dynamically generated SVG).
