Syntax Highlighter, jQuery plugins, future posts, and goodie giveaways
This is just a quick note to let you know I have “officially” chosen Syntax Highlighter by Alex Gorbatchev as the code highlighter for d’bug. Over the next month I will be making tweaks, and experimenting with it, so there is always the potential for a mishap.
Several of you have emailed me about a bug in the Truncate plugin for jQuery. Thank you for taking the time to send a fix along. I am not ignoring your emails, and I will try to wrap that change up into a release very shortly. I plan to do another jQuery tutorial in the future, but I am skeptical about building another plugin. I want to be able to provide support, and if I feel I will be unable to do this, then I do not want to short-change developers.
I have numerous ideas for posts (too many to count), and I hope to continue forward with useful tutorials as well as my occasionally ridiculous rantings. In the next month or so I will run our first giveaway — nowhere near the scale of some others, but a thanks to the design and development community nonetheless.
Stick around!

Beautify your blog’s code samples with these syntax highlighters
Previous attempts to post more than just CSS or XHTML code samples on d’bug have been met with what I would consider unsatisfactory results. So I started researching syntax highlighters in preparation for those articles where I need to delve a little deeper into a language. This short list I came up with is, well, very short. To be honest, most syntax highlighters are poorly executed, poorly performing, and the intended use is not always as clear as it might seem.
