They say that the road is more important than your destination. This must have been the idea behind when Toyota grabbed a car and soak their tires wet in paint to draw some characters on the pavement to create the iQ font from Toyota, and made it available for free download.

We always need new fonts. Stop creating fonts would be like stop creating new foods. The design beast is always hungry so designers must feed him with new tasty dishes every time. Here’s a selection of fonts that might not be new, but some of them are little known and they are really good. Read more

I opened a Twitter account for ilovecolors so you can follow me there. The name ilovecolors was already taken so I registered with my own name.

It’s been more than a week since my last post. Last March 17 was my birthday, I received some presents so I want to give you a present now, a new WordPress plugin. You can use this plugin to beautify your post by creating thumbnails using the jQuery.Thumbs plugin and adding Thickbox.
A while ago I wrote a post about creating a folding menu for WordPress built in Pages widget using only jQuery without adding or modifying any markup or PHP. A reader, Kretschmar, reported some bugs and asked if it could work for more than one level.
After modifying the jQuery for it to work on multi level depth I created a simple plugin for WordPress. See the demo of ILC Folding, go and click on Page 2.
Here’s the jQuery code:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery(".page_item ul").hide();
jQuery(".current_page_item ul:first").slideDown();
jQuery(".current_page_item").parents("ul, li")
.map(function () {
jQuery(this).slideDown();
});
});
So, after sliding down the first parent and getting all parents of current_page_item, we slide down each parent level by level until the list is empty.
I packed everything and created a WordPress plugin so you can download the folding plugin for WordPress and start collapsing those Pages.
