It’s not often that I’ll recommend a blog in this section which is only a day old. Well, kinda. This week’s blog of the week is "24 ways to impress your friends". It’s a web development blog which will run for this December as a bit of an advent calendar for web developers.

It’s December 1st so this year’s posts have only just begun. The first post is a "Tasty Text Trimmer" written in Javascript which, well, trims text. They show you how to use the YUI Slider widget combined with a Javascript text trimmer to make something which behaves a bit like Safari’s RSS "Article Length" tool.

If you want to get a feel for the blog, check out last year’s postings. Each scripts and posts is written by a different web developer, many of which are well known names in the web development community.
