Things That Go With Web Development: (But Not Really) - jQuery Waypoints & K. Flay

This topic is the first idea I’ve had for this blog.

The idea is that I’ll post something development related; something cool that I’ve come across, a helpful fix to a common problem, a website that interests me, something like that, and pair it with something that else random that has nothing to do with web development.

So here’s a trial run: Waypoints is a jQuery plugin that allows you to create functions or handlers that fire when the waypoint’s element hits the top of the viewport (or an offset of the viewport).

Doing so allowed me to stick a sidebar block within only the content area:

For the passed 2 weeks I’ve been obsessed with K. Flay. Her songs have been stuck in my head constantly and have given me perfect fuel for my coding sessions. I first heard of her on Rdio, and then promptly forgot about her. Several months later I was going through my music collection and she caught my eye, and the rest has been a haze of “No Duh"s and "Rawks”. Check her out!
