Setting up your computer to allow you to SSH in using SSH keys in place of passwords is magical however there are times I want to SSH in without using the SSH keys I have setup. By setting the “PubkeyAuthentication” key to “no”, you can do this.

CSS Pulse Animation
Sometimes it amazes me the powerful things we can do with CSS. Recently, I needed to make an element pulse (i.e. grow and shrink repeatedly). I was able to do this with a few lines of CSS without using any JavaScript.

WordPress Image Array of Attributes
When working with a WordPress image, I wanted the attributes for the image. The function `wp_get_attachment_image()` provides me everything I need but in a rendered HTML string, rather than a more useful array of attributes. I was surprised I was unable to locate a good way to get this information, so I wrote this code to help me.

Remove target _blank from the Scriptless Social Sharing Email button
I like to use the Scriptless Social Sharing WordPress plugin to add Share buttons to my blog posts. Recently I had a client notice that because the Email Share button has target=”_blank” in the HTML markup, it opens a new tab when clicked. This is great behavior if you’re using web based email (e.g. Gmail), however if you’re using an email application on your computer, you end up with a blank tab. This code removes target blank from the email share link.

We these commands you can change this setting.

Thanks to this CSS Tricks thread, I learned the problem was that since this image […]
