			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It had been a while since I&#8217;d done any WordPress development, but I recently dusted off my Baseline theme to start a new project only to find that the jQuery libraries weren&#8217;t loading properly. A quick bit of research revealed that new versions of WordPress require a slightly different syntax when using jQuery, so I made a few changes.</p>
<ol>
<li>jQuery UI is now loaded using <code>wp_enqueue_script("jquery-ui");</code> instead of linking to Google&#8217;s hosted copy.</li>
<li>The code for loading Superfish uses this syntax:
<pre class="brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate">jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        jQuery('ul.sf-menu').superfish();
    });</pre>
</li>
<li>Lists will now obey margins of neighboringÂ floating elements by default because I declared this in style.css:
<pre class="brush: css; title: ; notranslate">div#content ul, div#content ol {
	list-style-position: inside;
}</pre>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Later versions of WordPress don&#8217;t support the &#8216;$&#8217; syntax normally used with jQuery. Wherever you would normally use &#8216;$&#8217; (such as <code>$(document).ready ();</code>), you have to use &#8216;jQuery&#8217; instead (<code>jQuery.document.ready();</code>). There were a couple of other housekeeping items like reformatting style.css and creating a table of contents for it. Baseline should be all set to work with the latest versions of WordPress again. <a href="http://baseline.truetoneenterprises.com" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/baseline.truetoneenterprises.com?referer=');">Download it here</a>.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a new version of the <a href="http://baseline.truetoneenterprises.com" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/baseline.truetoneenterprises.com?referer=');">Baseline Theme</a>. In the last few days of tinkering with it and modifying it for use with this website, I noticed a small bug. The <a href="http://blueprintcss.org/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/blueprintcss.org/?referer=');">Blueprint</a> IE reset was acting funny in conjunction with the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/code.google.com/p/ie7-js/?referer=');">IE8 JavaScript</a>. I chose to make IE8.js the default with the option of including Blueprint&#8217;s reset instead.<span id="more-360"></span> Here is the pertinent change in header.php:</p>
<pre class="brush: php; first-line: 14; html-script: true; title: ; notranslate">&lt;?php

/*

Add this to the HTML below if you want to use Blueprint's IE reset style sheet. The IE8 JavaScript should
fix the same things so you shouldn't need both. This is here if you'd rather use it than the JavaScript.

&lt;!--[if IE]&gt;
&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;&lt;?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?&gt;/blueprint/ie.css&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; media=&quot;screen, projection&quot; /&gt;
&lt;![endif] --&gt;

*/

?&gt;

&lt;!-- Remove this JavaScript link if you decide to use Blueprint's CSS reset instead. I recommend using this instead. --&gt;

&lt;!--[if lt IE 8]&gt;
&lt;script src=&quot;http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.0(beta3)/IE8.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://baseline.truetoneenterprises.com" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/baseline.truetoneenterprises.com?referer=');">Baseline Development WordPress Theme</a> has <a href="http://blueprintcss.org/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/blueprintcss.org/?referer=');">Blueprint</a> plugged in already. There are some optional Blueprint plugins you can take advantage of. We&#8217;ll take a look at the fancy-type plug-in.<span id="more-312"></span></p>
<p>First of all, to link it in just add this to header.php:</p>
<pre class="brush: php; html-script: true; title: ; notranslate">&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;&lt;?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?&gt;/blueprint/plugins/fancy-type/screen.css&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; media=&quot;screen, projection&quot; /&gt;</pre>
<p>The first thing this will do for you is indent your paragraphs:</p>
<pre class="brush: css; title: ; notranslate">/* Indentation instead of line shifts for sibling paragraphs. */
   p + p { text-indent:2em; margin-top:-1.5em; }
   form p + p  { text-indent: 0; } /* Don't want this in forms. */</pre>
<p>Next up is the <code>alt</code> class for some fancy type:</p>
<pre class="brush: css; first-line: 15; title: ; notranslate">
/* For great looking type, use this code instead of asdf:
   &lt;span class=&quot;alt&quot;&gt;asdf&lt;/span&gt;
   Best used on prepositions and ampersands. */

.alt {
  color: #666;
  font-family: &quot;Warnock Pro&quot;, &quot;Goudy Old Style&quot;,&quot;Palatino&quot;,&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;, Georgia, serif;
  font-style: italic;
  font-weight: normal;
}</pre>
<p>You also get a class for fancy quote marks:</p>
<pre class="brush: css; first-line: 27; title: ; notranslate">/* For great looking quote marks in titles, replace &quot;asdf&quot; with:
   &lt;span class=&quot;dquo&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;/span&gt;asdf&amp;#8221;
   (That is, when the title starts with a quote mark).
   (You may have to change this value depending on your font size). */

.dquo { margin-left: -.5em; } </pre>
<p>Reduced size type with incremental leading:</p>
<pre class="brush: css; first-line: 35; title: ; notranslate">/* Reduced size type with incremental leading
   (http://www.markboulton.co.uk/journal/comments/incremental_leading/)

   This could be used for side notes. For smaller type, you don't necessarily want to
   follow the 1.5x vertical rhythm -- the line-height is too much.

   Using this class, it reduces your font size and line-height so that for
   every four lines of normal sized type, there is five lines of the sidenote. eg:

   New type size in em's:
     10px (wanted side note size) / 12px (existing base size) = 0.8333 (new type size in ems)

   New line-height value:
     12px x 1.5 = 18px (old line-height)
     18px x 4 = 72px
     72px / 5 = 14.4px (new line height)
     14.4px / 10px = 1.44 (new line height in em's) */

p.incr, .incr p {
	font-size: 10px;
	line-height: 1.44em;
	margin-bottom: 1.5em;
}</pre>
<p>And finally the <code>caps</code> class:</p>
<pre class="brush: css; title: ; notranslate">/* Surround uppercase words and abbreviations with this class.
   Based on work by JÃ¸rgen Arnor GÃ¥rdsÃ¸ Lom [http://twistedintellect.com/] */

.caps {
  font-variant: small-caps;
  letter-spacing: 1px;
  text-transform: lowercase;
  font-size:1.2em;
  line-height:1%;
  font-weight:bold;
  padding:0 2px;
}</pre>
