Here are the sites:

Basikneads Catering, a catering company out in Virginia - www.basikneads.com

Services provided include HTML / CSS / JS design integration, WordPress setup and customizations. Design was provided by Openbox9, a creative company out in Washington DC. Some behind the scenes highlights (which will probably only interest other developers):

• Homepage slideshow — images load via a delayed ajax request, so as to not bog down the initial page load.
• JavaScript / Canvas based font replacement — The headings are rendered with the Typeface.js library, a pretty neat font replacement library that doesn’t require the use of any flash. If browsers don’t support it, then it’ll get downgraded to a close serif font.

Before Project, non-profit organization dealing with conflict prevention – www.beforeproject.org

Services provided include HTML / CSS / JS design integration, WordPress setup and customizations. Design was also provided by Openbox9. The site is relatively straight forward from a technical perspective, I added a couple WordPress customizations to help manage different elements of the site (eg random facts, customizable sidebar).

Newlife Church, a church in the Seattle area – www.newlifekitsap.com

Services provided include HTML / CSS / JS design integration, WordPress setup and customizations. Design was provided in-house by Newlife. A couple neat features to highlight:

• Rotating homepage features — I used the jQuery library to provide the animation on the front end, and coded a simple admin tool in their WordPress backend to allow them to easily add/replace features.
• JavaScript + Flash media player — A small and simple player on the homepage to allow people to easily play a recent sermon message from one of their church campuses.

That’s all for now!

PS, follow me on Twitter

I’m also working as a freelance contractor now, so if you’re looking to hire someone to help with WordPress customizations, HTML+CSS+JavaScript template integrations (eg turning a PSD into HTML), or some general PHP work, please contact me at joetan54@gmail.com.

Anyways… since I’m making a big move, I’m going to try and sell / unload all the random stuff I’ve collected over the years here… listed below. If you’re in the Washington DC area, and are interested in any of it, let me know. I don’t have a car, so I can’t deliver it!

• Creative I-Trigue L3500 Speakers. 2 speakers and 1 sub-woofer
• Samsung 15″ LCD monitor
• 2004 Gary Fisher 19.5″ Aluminum frame 24 speed bike SOLD!
• Toshiba 27″ Color Stream TV SOLD!

A couple languages are not 100% translated yet, so if you would like to help with translating the plugin, either with a new or existing language, or if you see a grammer / typo issue in an existing translation, please see this page for more information on how you can help.

And here’s a sample screen shot of the plugin localized into the Persian language:

Finally, thanks to:

Søren Siim Nielsen, Wilco Verdoold, Thomas Sturm, Adrianus F. Tumewu, Marco Balzerani, Lindsey Yoo, Hamid Reza, Jonathan Lumb, Guillermo Lopez, and a couple others.

Also, a localized version of this plugin is almost ready for release. Languages we have on board so far are Danish, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Persian, Simplified/Traditional Chinese, Spanish, and Swedish. If you’d like to help with translations, please see the documentation here.

Update Sep 30, 9 AM: Sorry, I think something went weird with the deploy again. If you downloaded 1.0.4 just now, please re-download and update again (particularly if you needed the two fixes mentioned above).

If you have installed any of my other plugins, please manually deactivate the plugin and delete the appropriate files from the tantan directory, and then upload the new tantan-s3 in it’s place. Your settings will be saved and carried over. If you use WordPress’ auto update system, then it may deactivate the other tantan plugins you may have installed.

The plugin has already been downloaded ~70,000 times now, so any translation help you provide would be very much appreciated, especially by people who’s blogs are not in English. In return for your help, you’ll get credit for the translation, along with a link to your blog. Thank you!

In related news, the plugin is now at version 1.0.3, and includes some very minor fixes.

Update Sept 21: Thanks everyone who wrote in to help. So far, I’ve got volunteers for French, Mandarin, Spanish, Germen, Swedish, Persian, and Dutch. Thanks, that is so awesome!

Update Sept 22: Got people for Danish, Korean, and Czech.

Update Sept 24: Italian and Bahasa

About this version, there isn’t really anything special or magical about this 1.0 release, other than it’s a continuation of the work that’s been going on for almost 2 years now. If you have found the plugin to be helpful and useful on your own blog, please consider making a small donation to help support its continued development. You can find a PayPal form to send a couple bucks in the plugin’s settings’ screen (where you linked the plugin to your Flickr account).

Thanks everyone for your support and feedback. As always, feel free to post your comments in the support group for this plugin, and post your (verified) bugs to the issue tracker. Or feel free to just pop in a comment (along with a link to your blog) on the release page.

Download version 1.0.1 here >

PS, I found a small bug just as I posted version 1.0, which is the reason for version 1.0.1.

Download the update here, or check your admin dashboard’s “Plugins” screen for an autoupdate (if your blog supports it).
