In Part I we introduced a script to insert pdf icons into a web page, talked about algorithms and pseudocode, and went through the steps to include the script on a page. Here's the script:

link.prepend(pdfIcon);
}
});

$("a").each(function() {

Here’s an idea: Why don’t we place a icon next to each PDF link so that the user knows what he or she is getting into? This is an effective way to improve the user experience. Now all we have to do
Our first coworking holiday party was a smash hit thanks to so many contributions from everyone who coworks here. This year's party was even better, with the revival of the Outdated Technology Tree, including a Yule Log screen saver on an ancient little dinosaur iMac.

This photograph of a steeple with overhanging maple leaves was captured on an overcast day with a textureless sky. By combining the photo with a texture from one of my just-released Texture Labs Collections, I was able to bring both interest to the sky and tell a story with the composite. The secret to blending a texture with a photo is to use Photoshop's blend
Google recently introduced a new drop down option in the AdWords Interface that allows you to compare dates. Remember when comparing dates to not compare a date range that has two Saturdays in one range and only one in the other. Your goal is to always compare apples with apples (e.g. a Monday to Friday compared to the previous Monday to Friday). Although this option
