jQuery’s motto is to select something and do something with it. As jQuery users, we provide the selection criteria and then we get busy with doing something with the result. This is a good thing. jQuery provides extermely simple API for selecting elements. If you are selecting ids then just prefix the name with ’#’. If you are selecting a class then prefix it with ’.’.

You may have noticed a bunch of articles about the semantic web appear in this feed over the last couple of days. Apologies for any confusion.

It happened because my Swirrl co-founder, Bill, moved his blog over to this blog-engine at the weekend, and we had some caching/redirect issues on our server, so my blog was serving up Bill’s feed for a while!

I think that the feed should be sorted out now, but I’ll keep an eye on it for a bit to make sure. :)
