WP UI - Wordpress Plugin



I stumbled across WP UI today, and it looks like a powerful Wordpress plugin allowing you to add all manner of user-interface enhancements to your Wordpress website (i.e. posts). Powered by JQuery, features include sliders, tabs and accordions, to name a few. Support for CSS3 is also available in the plugin.

Canon announces updated version of their popular Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM lens

Canon has announced an updated version of their full-frame Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM lens.



This high-quality full-frame EF mount lens was released quite a few years ago and an update is very welcomed. Having owned this lens myself (sadly, now sold) I can certainly vouch for it's quality and I'm confident the updated lens will not disappoint.

You can read the full Canon press release here.

The Slidorion - a combination of image slider and an accordion

We've all seen countless wonderful JQuery image sliders and accordions but rarely do we come across one that does both! Introducing Slidorion - a combination of image slider and an accordion.



The author sums it nicely: A combination of an image slider and an accordion, the Slidorion displays beautiful images along with a variable length description. With slides linked to each tab, and accompanied by a large array of effects, the Slidorion is a great alternative to the traditional jQuery slider.
