Tidy Sidebar

April 10th, 2008

I had a quick go at tidying up my sidebar today - as part of an ongoing effort to keep my site clear, clean and succinct. Basically, the ‘categories’, ‘feeds’, and ‘links’ sections are now all hidden initially when you load a page - to save some sidebar space. However, if you wish to view any of them you simply need to click on the ‘Show’ link beneath the header and the content will magically appear on your screen.

For any interested parties, the hide/show function works using the “Scriptaculous” javascript library. I have to admit that I got this idea from Duane Storey’s personal blog - so I’m sending him some link love :-)

If you would like the code, just look at the source code for this page. If you still don’t understand then just leave a comment.
