Over two years after posting this simple JQuery accordion menu and later on an improved JQuery accordion menu I'm still receiving epic amounts of traffic on these posts. New comments keep getting posted every week as well. When I posted these I never even dreamed they would draw this much attention and they were never intended to be more than just quick code snippets. Apparently I was wrong. JQuery is going extremely strong and somehow it seems I managed to fill some sort of void with my little accordion code snippet.

Questions are being asked, requests are made for things the snippet won't do without modifications and most importantly, problems are being reported with newer versions of JQuery. Because of all this I decided to once again do a new version of this little JQuery accordion. I tried to address most of the issues reported by readers and add some new features. Let's take a look at version 3, now in JQuery plugin flavor.

UPDATE: fixed 2 bugs reported in the comments. See my comment for details.

UPDATE 2: (April 11, 2010): fixed a bug causing erratic behavior in nested accordions.

Today I released a new little plugin for WordPress: Week In Links. This plugin was originally written for my wife who runs a book review site at bookalicio.us. The plugin was made to save her time while writing link digest posts on interesting finds during the week on the web. It can take considerable time to write such a post. All links need to be gathered, grouped and a few lines need to be written about each link. I figured this can be done 'on the go' during the week if a social bookmarking service is used, in this case del.icio.us. With a simple but effective tagging strategy each link digest post can be completely automated with the Week In Links plugin. By placing an easy to use special tag in any WordPress post the links will be fetched and displayed through headers and unordered lists.
