JQuery is getting more and more popular, many people are using JQuery in WordPress. The right way to import JQuery to your WordPress is like this:

< ?php wp_enqueue_script(“jquery”); ? >

Rather than using <script> syntax. Remember to run this script before wp_head(). And then you can load your own JavaScript like this:

< script type=”text/javascript”
src=”< ?php bloginfo("template_url"); ? >/js/testScript.js” >< /script>

Also remember you must put this after wp_head().

I started a new blog Gearor.com, which is a gadgets and tech blog. I also set up a Chinese version using sub domain cn.Gearor.com. So I tried to do one thing, if visitors come with a Chinese browser, the website will automatically redirect them to the Chinese page.

At the first time, I simply check the browser language, if it’s Chinese, the page will redirect to Chinese page. There is one problem with this method. I made a English link in Chinese page so that Chinese users can visit English page if they want, but after I added the redirection, Chinese users can’t visit English page, every time they click the link, they will be redirect to Chinese page.

Kohana 3 has been released for a while. This is a redesign version of Kohana. Kohana 3 and 2 will both be in active, if you are new to Kohana, I suggest you to start with Kohana 3. The most important difference between these two version is that Kohana 3 uses a new design pattern HMVC rather than MVC as Kohana 2 is using. What is HMVC? These two articles may help you understand it:

1. Presentation-abstraction-control
2. HMVC Pattern For GUI Of Swing/GWT/Desktop Application

You can download Kohana 3 here:

I was reading some articles about avoiding SQL injection. People used to use addslashes() function, and later more and more programmers are using mysql_real_escape_string(). What’s the difference between these two functions? Alan Storm from StackOverFlow gives a description which is the best as I know:

PHP’s mysql_real_escape_string function will, more or less, ask mysql what character(s) needs to be escaped, where the addslashses function will just add a backslash in front of and any single quote (‘), double quote (“), backslash (\) or NUL (the NULL byte) character.

In the same post, Waage says that:

mysql_real_escape_string adds slashes to:
\x00, \n, \r, \, ‘, ” and \x1a. characters.
Where addslashes only adds slashes to:
‘ \ and NUL

Every time we start a new website, we need to write our CSS code from the beginning. Actually, many of the codes are the same as our previous website, like settings of blockquote, title(<h1> to <h6>), etc. I was thinking that we can create a CSS template for all websites which containing most common CSS settings.

I lately found Kyle has done this, his master stylesheet has everything I need for a new website. I tried to add something to the stylesheet, but not much can be added, but the global browser setting I learn from Andrew, which may be useful:

* {
	padding:0;
	margin:0;
}
