In one of my blogs, I was having issues with page loading because the social buttons were locking the page when they were being rendered. This is a serious issue for the visitor, since most of them just want to get to the info quickly. This issue is very noticiable on blogs, where you have dozens of these little buttons spreaded across your index page. Lets see how to fix it.
Twitter is great and with it comes great ideas from everywhere. Today, I decided to try a new kind of poll that I really liked and will boost your Twitter mentions a lot. I am talking about Twitter Polls. If you don’t know what it is, keep reading, you will enjoy it.
Good news for us developers. Twitter added a new “Follow” button so people can one-click and follow you without leaving your website. It even pops a couple of tweets and some information about your profile!
Pulling code from here and there, I gathered enough information to create a small function that allow you to pull your Twitter feed and display it in your website. What you do is basically call the function and pass a couple parameters. The styling can be done with CSS.
