return $wpfrom;
}
function res_fromname($email){
$wpfrom = get_option('blogname');
return $wpfrom;
}
add_filter('wp_mail_from',...
Scientists May Be Closing in on the Higgs Boson... →

WordPress - get post thumbnail URL only
I had a need to ONLY return the post thumbnail (featured image) URL without being wrapped in an image tag. I was going to use it as a bgimage so I could overlay some stuff. Figured it out by returning it as an object, seems to work pretty well:

Google+?
Wondering if Google+ will ever catch on. What’s it’s use? I use twitter for industry and Facebook for personal, not sure how or why I use G+, seems superfluous at the moment. Though, I like it best for interface.

Great little web development tools. The Prefix my CSS is particularly nice for things like targeted border radius and the quirks between browsers.
Wow Google
Google font directory for web development doesn’t have search functionality? You would think the largest search engine and a company that bases it’s entire existence on search would have it plastered everywhere.
On a side note, if you go to google.com/fonts it throws a 404 error instead of redirecting to google.com/webfonts. It’s not every day that I run across 2 really...
