Taking back completely lost thing. Think I was messing around with it before you posted this..

Just want to say thanks, again :) For the "testing" thing, as well as for the instructions and things. Helpful? *nods* :)

Glad you're finding it useful. I'll put some intermediate and advanced things up tonight/tomorrow too. :)

3. $.blah does indeed mean $this.blah. The -> operator is used to call functions in classes. See the language reference at http://www.livejournal.org/s2/LanguageReference for more info.

4. Triple-quoted strings allow you to use quotation marks without escaping them. These are useful for when you're dealing with a lot of HTML. For example, these are equivalent:

Woops, just got the notification email for this one; hadn't thought to check the entire page to see if the others were answered. Thanks for the other Language and core links too. :)

So when I go to the gallery, is it supposed to display everything at 200x200? Because it looks like everything is displaying at normal size. Or is the thumbnail only for previews? I'm confused by the thumbnail.
