How to Re-Enable Zoom for Websites That Block It in Safari for Your iPhone « iOS Gadget Hacks

Ever get frustrated that you can’t zoom pages on a mobile device (e.g., Facebook)? Here’s a bookmarklet/favelet that’ll re-enable zoom on any web site.

Then, when you go to a page you want to ‘Zoom’, just click the ‘Zoom’ bookmark and that page will be zoomable.

1. Make a bookmark
(you need to edit something, so it doesn’t matter which bookmark)

2. Change it’s name to ‘Zoom’

 

3. Replace URL of this bookmark with JavaScript Code
Now, just delete the URL address of the webpage you initially bookmarked (http://www.qz.com/… in the above screenshot) and replace it with the following JavaScript snippet.

javascript:document.querySelector(‘meta%5Bname=viewport%5D’).setAttribute(‘content’,’width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=10.0,user-scalable=1′);

Tap Done on the keyboard, then Done once again in Bookmarks to finish the process.

How to organize your wordpress blogroll links?

How to organize your wordpress blogroll links?.

You can have the link in the following orders:

Orderby
– ‘id’
– ‘url’
– ‘name’
– ‘target’
– ‘description’
– ‘owner’ – User who added bookmark through bookmarks Manager.
– ‘rating’
– ‘updated’
– ‘rel’ – bookmark relationship (XFN).
– ‘notes’
– ‘rss’
– ‘length’ – The length of the bookmark name, shortest to longest.
– ‘rand’ – Display bookmarks in random order.

So then you would have to do this:

<?php wp_list_bookmarks(‘title_li=&category=2&orderby=id’); ?>

Some useful jQuery sliders

With the ubiquity of jQuery, I became a bit frustrated with the preponderance of Flash sliders everywhere. I never was a big fan of requiring plugins to see critical site content, be it the ‘splash’ screen (remember FutureSplash?) or Flash-based navigation.

I was looking from some jQuery sliders, and came up with a link to a few I liked:

With so many options to replace Flash-based sliders & galleries, I wonder why folks are still using Flash-based sliders & galleries? Don’t get me wrong… I still think there’s a pace for Flash, but navigation, splash pages, galleries and entires web sites are not one of them. Or if they must be used, please provide a rich experience for those of us ‘stuck’ with an iPhone, iPad, Android or other mobile device!
