You had me thinking you were dropping the project.

I was just tossing the idea of re-launching Skem9. My original goal of writing a community is still there.

Thanks. I'm not gonna launch it or anything, it's just something to put in the "I did that" file.

Ok, RE the tutorial you linked me to, http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/, I feel like I am missing a lot. Will make coffee and come back to it.

The wordpress theme you use already links to jQuery, so you just need to add jquery UI.

Go here: http://jqueryui.com/download
you can choose a theme, and it'll give you a folder with stylesheets and images and everything. It also comes with a a demo page, which you can look at the source and get a good idea for how to implement everything.

Once you have jQuery UI added to the page, you can implement the features on the demo page, one of which being tabs.

For example:


<div id="tabs">

        <ul>

                <li><a href="#tabs-1">Nunc tincidunt</a></li>

                <li><a href="#tabs-2">Proin dolor</a></li>

                <li><a href="#tabs-3">Aenean lacinia</a></li>

        </ul>

        <div id="tabs-1">

                <p>Proin elit arcu, rutrum commodo, vehicula tempus, commodo a, risus. Curabitur nec arcu. Donec sollicitudin mi sit amet mauris. Nam elementum quam ullamcorper ante. Etiam aliquet massa et lorem. Mauris dapibus lacus auctor risus. Aenean tempor ullamcorper leo. Vivamus sed magna quis ligula eleifend adipiscing. Duis orci. Aliquam sodales tortor vitae ipsum. Aliquam nulla. Duis aliquam molestie erat. Ut et mauris vel pede varius sollicitudin. Sed ut dolor nec orci tincidunt interdum. Phasellus ipsum. Nunc tristique tempus lectus.</p>

        </div>

        <div id="tabs-2">

                <p>Morbi tincidunt, dui sit amet facilisis feugiat, odio metus gravida ante, ut pharetra massa metus id nunc. Duis scelerisque molestie turpis. Sed fringilla, massa eget luctus malesuada, metus eros molestie lectus, ut tempus eros massa ut dolor. Aenean aliquet fringilla sem. Suspendisse sed ligula in ligula suscipit aliquam. Praesent in eros vestibulum mi adipiscing adipiscing. Morbi facilisis. Curabitur ornare consequat nunc. Aenean vel metus. Ut posuere viverra nulla. Aliquam erat volutpat. Pellentesque convallis. Maecenas feugiat, tellus pellentesque pretium posuere, felis lorem euismod felis, eu ornare leo nisi vel felis. Mauris consectetur tortor et purus.</p>

        </div>

        <div id="tabs-3">

                <p>Mauris eleifend est et turpis. Duis id erat. Suspendisse potenti. Aliquam vulputate, pede vel vehicula accumsan, mi neque rutrum erat, eu congue orci lorem eget lorem. Vestibulum non ante. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Fusce sodales. Quisque eu urna vel enim commodo pellentesque. Praesent eu risus hendrerit ligula tempus pretium. Curabitur lorem enim, pretium nec, feugiat nec, luctus a, lacus.</p>

                <p>Duis cursus. Maecenas ligula eros, blandit nec, pharetra at, semper at, magna. Nullam ac lacus. Nulla facilisi. Praesent viverra justo vitae neque. Praesent blandit adipiscing velit. Suspendisse potenti. Donec mattis, pede vel pharetra blandit, magna ligula faucibus eros, id euismod lacus dolor eget odio. Nam scelerisque. Donec non libero sed nulla mattis commodo. Ut sagittis. Donec nisi lectus, feugiat porttitor, tempor ac, tempor vitae, pede. Aenean vehicula velit eu tellus interdum rutrum. Maecenas commodo. Pellentesque nec elit. Fusce in lacus. Vivamus a libero vitae lectus hendrerit hendrerit.</p>

        </div>

</div>

<script>

$(function() {

        $( "#tabs" ).tabs();

});

</script>

$( "#tabs" ).tabs(); - this targets the element with the ID "tabs", and calls the jQuery UI function "tabs()" to create the tabs you see in the demo.

It all falls together eventually. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.
