Nice Transparent Loading GIF
Posted: 24th Feb 2010
We've all seen those loading images when you click on links in AJAX enabled websites, such as Twitter. They are essential, particularly when coding websites with AJAX functionality because the user needs to know if something is actually happening.
So having one of these loading images is useful, and they can often be 'borrowed' from the web. However the problem with a lot of these images is that they don't work very well with different backgrounds because of transparency issues.
Well I spent a while making one the other day in Photoshop that works nicely on many backgrounds and thought I'd share it with the world.
Feel free to use this image, let me know where you've used it if you do. I've used it in Project Bubble and other sites.

A cool new AJAX search feature
Posted: 2nd Mar 2009
We have just implemented a cool new tag based AJAX search feature to the Halogy blog system. It searches tags or keywords that are attached to the blog posts, and then returns the top results underneath. Like the Google "Suggestions" system.
