So, wouldn’t it be user friendly, if when you went to a form page in a document, if the cursor was automagically positioned at the first field in the form?
Why, yes it would. Try:
Event.observe(window, 'load', function(){
try {
$('eventName').focus();
}
catch (e) {}
});
after your </form> tag. This requires the prototype javascript library

So I was trying for the last week or so to use three loops on a single page, to display categorized pages, and couldn’t figure out why it didn’t work. (I used the plugin page category plus to put pages in categories).
Anyways, if you want pages to be shown in a categorical listing, use post_type=page in the query string. Otherwise it’ll only show posts by default, which didn’t happen in previous versions! Mine looked like this: <?php $sportsQuery = new WP_Query(‘category_name=Sports Pages&post_type=page’); ?>
//Loop goes here…
Hope this helps somebody. I know I’ll be coming back to it when I forget!

Any good web designer knows certain characters have to be encoded in HTML.
Here’s a list of pretty much every character and it’s encoding: http://webdesign.about.com/library/bl_htmlcodes.htm
Bonus: Need to use some encoded characters in your PHP script? Use html_entity_decode() to turn them into regular text.
Fun thing I found today: how to copy a whole pile of files/folders over from one place to another using ftp. Especially useful on two remote computers in terminal when security isn’t a concern!
wget -r ftp://username: password@domainname
