QueryLoader – preload your website in style

There is always a minor problem when it comes to preloading image on a website. Nobody really has a full solution for it. There are a lot of preloaders available, but most of the time they only display the words: “Loading page” or have an animated image that spins. Why can’t there be a nice loading bar of some kind?
I’ve gotten a few request on how to make a preloader, or people asking me how to get all the images of a web page and preload them (even the images in CSS).

This preloader has it all. Loading bar, custom animations and getting all images included in the web page.

WordPress Plugin: Mark as Read

For the first time ever I created my own plugin. Starting out as a hacking attempt, it quickly changed into a prototype plugin.

What it basically does is list the articles that haven’t been read yet by a logged in user. Whenever a change to the post is made or a new comment is posted, the post moves to the top of the unread list.
