Why inkscape is not running fine with mac snow leopard?

Inkscape is very powerful and can do some amazing things. It's got too many features in some ways for my needs, I like it very much. This is my one of the favorite vector editing software.

I downloaded inkscape for snow leopard. When I run the app I get a menu that has nothing but one item: Inkscape, and it has no other options. No screen opens up, no other menu items pertaining to drawing appear. If I click the app where it sits on the app bar running along the bottom of my screen, everything on the bar.

I googled and after few research i found it required xQuartz to be installed first. i downloaded the latest xquartz from macosforge.org. The XQuartz project is an open-source X Window System that runs on OS X. Together with supporting libraries and applications.

I started xquartz it appeared on the dock and opened a little terminal window. Then I started inkscape.app. This time it showed the message to wait a few minutes while it did whatever. Then the Editor appeared. This time Inkscape worked fine and i'm doing some good svg kind of stuff in it.....

The jQuery UI Datepicker is a highly configurable plugin that adds datepicker functionality to your pages. You can customize the date format and language, restrict the selectable date ranges and add in buttons and other navigation options easily.
By default, the datepicker calendar opens in a small overlay onFocus and closes automatically onBlur or when a date is selected. For an inline calendar, simply attach the datepicker to a div or span.
You can use keyboard shortcuts to drive the datepicker:

• page up/down - previous/next month
• ctrl+page up/down - previous/next year
• ctrl+home - current month or open when closed
• ctrl+left/right - previous/next day
• ctrl+up/down - previous/next week
• enter - accept the selected date
• ctrl+end - close and erase the date
• escape - close the datepicker without selection

How to add +1 button to Wordpress

Google has made adding the +1 button fairly simple, but we wanted to provide self-hosted WordPress.org users with a quick walkthrough of the process of adding and enabling the +1 button to their site and their blog posts. We’re sure that dozens of +1 plugins will be available in the next few days, but in the meantime, this is what you need to do.

---

Step 1: Add a Line of JavaScript to Your Theme Files

---

The +1 button tool page lays out what webmasters need to add to their website. For users who have a standard XHTML website (or are using Tumblr), copying and pasting the following java script. before the </body> tag on a website works just fine.
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js”></script>
Simply Go to the Appearances section in the WordPress dashboard and select “editor.” Then find the footer.php file in your template listing. Scan through the file until you see the area marked </body>, then paste in the JavaScript line.
Hit update and you’re ready for step two!

---

Step 2: Add a Button to Your Sidebar

---

After the JavaScript snippet has been added to your website, users can paste the <g:plusone></g:plusone><g:plusone></g:plusone> wherever they want a button to appear. Using the +1 button tool, you can configure the button size and include other advanced options.
Another common use for the +1 button, besides on individual blog posts, will likely be in sidebar widgets on a homepage. This can act as a nice, generic hub for +1 activity.
To add the +1 button to a sidebar in WordPress (assuming your theme supports sidebars), simply go to the Appearances section in the Dashboard and select “Widgets.”
We’ll assume that you want to create a new widget for the +1 button, but other sidebar widgets can also be customized to display the button.

Now Google +1 for Bloggers

The button, will compete with the likes of the already ubiquitous sharing buttons offered by Facebook and Twitter (and more recently Tumblr and LinkedIn) for web page real estate.

Google is taking its +1 feature beyond search results and launching a button that publishers can include on their own websites.
 As with most other sharing buttons, setting up the +1 button on your website is straightforward. Google has created a simple tool that lets you choose from a number of sizes and styles, and then provides the appropriate JavaScript code that you can cut and paste into your site.
