Your Second Home Launched

I have launched a new website this week (www.yoursecond-home.com), delved into some php for the first time in about 2 years! I was surprised at how much I could remember.

I was asked to come up with a corporate identity and implement it into a simple site giving information for people wanting to buy homes abroad in places like Florida, Naples, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Daytona and Cyprus.

jQuery Interface Animate function

Over the last week I have struggled with the frustrating override of the jQuery Animate function by the jQuery Interface Library. The frustration being that the Interface library is pretty awesome but this function requires a different set of variables and objects past to it than the original. This not only breaks any other plugins which use the original and you want to use alongside but surely this isn’t good practice for overriding functions!

I got round it by downloading the Interface source and only including the elements  I needed for the application.
