How to Code a jQuery Rolodex-Style Countdown Ticker
by Jake Rocheleau on May 17, 2012
I’m sure many of you are familiar with how an office rolodex works. You have a series of cards with contact information which you can flip over to sort through alphabetically. These are most common in the office settings because businesses must to keep in touch with so many different people. Although the value is in translation into a web interface, we can still use this idea to create a really neat timer effect.
More specifically I have seen a couple countdown widgets on landing pages. These are numbering systems for websites which count down to a specific launch date. You could alternatively use this code to create a live clock on your website – there are so many uses available! Check out my simple tutorial below and see if you can implement a similar ticker into any future web projects.

Selecting Graphics
I am admittedly not an amazing Photoshop design guru. I can put together some unique web layouts and magazine themes – but I can’t create a whole rolodex stack from scratch. This is where the large network of PSD freebies comes in handy.
I really love this flip-clock countdown for both the gradients and textures. This was created by Orman Clark who also built the website Premium Pixels. Just download the PSD and extract a single card stack background. We will use this same background for each of the time slots – days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
However I want to use dynamic HTML inside each div to update the counter. So when you extract these blocks make sure you hide all the text layers, including the bottom labels. Or even easier just download my tutorial source code above and use the included images.
Core HTML Layout
For this example we don’t need a whole bunch of confusing HTML markup. I’m using a containing div #clock-ticker set with a clearfix class, and inside we have 4 different floating divs. These are set to the class .block and each contains a single column of the countdown clock.
<div id="clock-ticker" class="clearfix"> <div class="block"> <span class="flip-top" id="numdays">8</span> <span class="flip-btm"></span> <footer class="label">Days</footer> </div> <div class="block"> <span class="flip-top" id="numhours">14</span> <span class="flip-btm"></span> <footer class="label">Hours</footer> </div> <div class="block"> <span class="flip-top" id="nummins">34</span> <span class="flip-btm"></span> <footer class="label">Mins</footer> </div>
Inside a single block area we have three core sections. The top two span elements contain the top and bottom portion of each rolodex card. By splitting up the card we could use some further jQuery UI animation effects. But this goes much further than I’d like to cover here – although it is possible to build off this preset code.
#clock-ticker { display: block; margin-bottom: 15px;}
#clock-ticker .block { position: relative; color: #fff; font-weight: bold; float: left; margin-right: 22px; }
#clock-ticker .block .flip-top { width: 88px; height: 39px; line-height: 75px; font-size: 55px; background: url('img/flip-top.png') no-repeat; text-align: center; }
#clock-ticker .block .flip-btm { width: 88px; height: 40px; background: url('img/flip-btm.png') no-repeat; text-align: center; }
#clock-ticker .block .label { color: #fbfbfb; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; text-transform: uppercase; width: 88px; line-height: 35px; text-align: center; font-family: "Calibri", Arial, sans-serif; text-shadow: 1px 1px 0px #333; }
The last area contains the label text for each card. This is held inside an HTML5 footer element and styled with a bit of CSS. I should point out how many of these elements are set to a fixed height. This means we can ensure the layout won’t break even if our numbers were “too big” and pushed outside the box model.
Detecting Clock Numbers
Inside the top span area of each column I’ve appended some default numeric values. You can change these to whatever you’d like and the script should still count down directly to 0. But just remember you don’t need anything in the bottom section, and actually I built it this way to keep the code cleaner.
Our goal would be to then check each of these numerical values on pageload and set them to static variables. You can see I have done this within the first few lines of JavaScript. The jQuery library is included in the doc header, but all our JS codes are actually inside a script tag towards the bottom of the page.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var theDaysBox = $("#numdays");
var theHoursBox = $("#numhours");
var theMinsBox = $("#nummins");
var theSecsBox = $("#numsecs");
These variables target the span elements themselves, and not the internal content. We do this in a different set of vars because the numbers will be updated every second. I’ve stuck with plain JavaScript and the setInterval() method.
Using this predetermined timing function we offer an internal set of code to call every set number of milliseconds. In this example we call the function code every 1000 milliseconds, or 1 second. Let’s look at some example syntax first:
var myNewIntval = setInterval(function() {
/// we use code here
}, 1000);
The method only requires 2 parameters with the latter being a number of milliseconds. The first is the code you wish to execute every set interval of time – most ideally we want to use a custom function. Alternatively we could write a new function name and call this, but we aren’t saving much space either way.
JavaScript setInterval()
Even if you aren’t totally familiar with this method don’t worry too much since it’s easy to catch up. Let’s push forward with the script and look at our real-live example.
var refreshId = setInterval(function() {
var currentSeconds = theSecsBox.text();
var currentMins = theMinsBox.text();
var currentHours = theHoursBox.text();
var currentDays = theDaysBox.text();
Inside the interval function we’re setting another four variables. These will be updated each second to contain the new value of each span element. Since we’re counting down to a specific number I’m going to use a very basic set of logic to check the timers.
In layman’s terms we need to see if any of the numbers reach 0 during any given interval. If that’s the case we can’t let it turn to -1 in the next second, and so instead we deduct a value from the next set (secs -> mins -> hours -> days).
Base Timing and Logic
Anybody who is familiar with basic if/else statements should be able to follow this script. We’re going to check at each interval if any of the numerical values have hit 0 – or if more than one value has hit 0.
For example, if the seconds and minutes have reached 0 then we need to remove 1 hour from the clock and reset the mins/secs to 59. Same when the hours, minutes, and seconds reach 0 and we need to remove 1 day from the clock.
if(currentSeconds == 0 && currentMins == 0 && currentHours == 0 && currentDays == 0) {
// if everything rusn out our timer is done!!
// do some exciting code in here when your countdown timer finishes
} else if(currentSeconds == 0 && currentMins == 0 && currentHours == 0) {
// if the seconds and minutes and hours run out we subtract 1 day
theDaysBox.html(currentDays-1);
theHoursBox.html("23");
theMinsBox.html("59");
theSecsBox.html("59");
} else if(currentSeconds == 0 && currentMins == 0) {
// if the seconds and minutes run out we need to subtract 1 hour
theHoursBox.html(currentHours-1);
theMinsBox.html("59");
theSecsBox.html("59");
} else if(currentSeconds == 0) {
// if the seconds run out we need to subtract 1 minute
theMinsBox.html(currentMins-1);
theSecsBox.html("59");
} else {
theSecsBox.html(currentSeconds-1);
}
I’m using the jQuery .html() method to set the internal value for each span. The very first if() {} statement checks for the timer completely running out, and you can place any code inside here. This could fade out and display a signup/registration form. Or it could re-direct visitors to a new page once the timer has finished.
There is definitely a lot you can do to customize this code for your own ideas. The clock will always tick down in this code, but that is easy to change. And if you refresh the page all values will reset to their original static setup inside the HTML document. Unfortunately session variables are controlled on the server end, so there’s no way to do this using solely JavaScript.

Conclusion
I hope this quaint clock ticker can be useful to some web designers. It’s a cool widget when you need it, but it’s also hard to just squeeze into a web layout. Practicing with JavaScript is also handy the more you move into web development techniques. Feel free to download my source code and play around on your own.

3 Simple Ways to Turn Your Website Archive into Profitable Books and eBooks
by Joel Friedlander on May 17, 2012
Attention Bloggers: I’ve seen the future, and you’re missing it.
Oh sure, we bloggers think we’re the most up-to-date, leading-edge, tech-savvy people on the planet.
But one of the biggest changes in the long history of content creation is taking place right under your feet, and I’m afraid it may be passing you by.
Yep, the ground is shifting, fortunes are being made, and some of the people who could best profit from this tectonic shift — content producers — are mostly sitting on the sidelines.
Okay, what am I talking about? The revolution in book publishing …
Maybe you’ve heard some of the success stories of the authors who’ve been selling a ton of paranormal romances, thrillers or other genre novels on Amazon’s Kindle platform, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
You may have also heard about big-time authors like Barry Eisler, Steven King, Seth Godin and others leading the way in self-publishing. That’s not it either.
What I’m talking about is something bloggers are already expert in: niche publishing.
Bloggers vs. authors
Let’s back up for a minute. Have you ever thought about the similarities between self-publishing and blogging? Probably not, why would you?
But as a blogger who writes about indie book publishing, I think about this stuff all the time. And here’s what I see at this amazing moment in publishing:
Self-publishers and bloggers each have only half the equation for success in the new world of book publishing.
Take authors for example. Most are really good at things like producing long content (long as in 80,000 words), staying with a project for months or years without losing focus, and planning a complex project using freelance contractors.
The problem is, many authors are notorious loners, are often non-technical, they can go years without any contact with their readers, and their mindset may be completely rooted in the 19th century. Not only that, the typical author has no idea of what marketing actually means in the real world.
That might make a blogger feel pretty good about herself.
It’s true that bloggers stay in constant touch with their readers, know how to publish on a schedule, get constant feedback from readers, love to experiment via agile content, and are highly networked with other bloggers in their niche.
But niche market bloggers have obstacles to overcome, too.
They can fall into the trap of thinking 500 words at a time, with disjointed subjects littering their archives. After blogging for a while, they may lose sight of any overarching theme they started with.
Not only that, many bloggers treat their blogs as a “hobby”, or they’re focused on Adsense, affiliate sales and special promotions. Bloggers like to chase the “shiny new object,” fall into the social media time-sink very easily, and all too often rely exclusively on metrics as the measure of their success.
Why book publishing makes sense for bloggers
Here’s what you’ve been missing: you don’t have to be Amanda Hocking or Joe Konrath or John Locke (all of whom have sold a ton of ebook fiction) to get major, potentially life-changing results from book publishing.
This is the dirty little secret behind self-publishing that we’ve been hiding from the big publishers for years:
If you’re a writer with ready access to a niche audience, you’re probably much better off financially publishing your own book.
If you blog on a niche topic and know how to reach the people in that field, why give 85% of your profits to a big publisher in New York?
(If you’re Chris Brogan or Tim Ferriss writing for a mass consumer or mass business market, you might be better off with that big publisher. But if that’s not you, read on.)
The blogger’s unfair advantage
Okay, so you know how to meet deadlines, you publish on a schedule and you’re in touch with your readers. You’re already miles ahead of most self-published authors.
Is it really worth going through the trouble of learning how to publish books? Here are some outcomes that might stimulate you.
- Authority — There’s a reason all those guests you see on TV are introduced as “author of …” There’s nothing that will supercharge the authority you have in your niche the way a book will, especially one with lots of testimonials from people your readers know and respect.
- Passive income — It’s better than ads in your sidebars, better than pay-per-click, and once your book is for sale in either print or ebook versions, the whole process is completely automatic.
- Status — Having a book to your name will spread your profile far beyond the circles you can reach with your blog.
- More opportunities — You are likely to get more offers for speaking gigs, joint ventures and co-authoring opportunities once you’re a published author.
- Stand out from the crowd — Is there another blogger in your niche who is also a published author? No? What’s stopping you?
- Back of the room sales — Another underutilized way to make money from your blog is by selling your book at live appearances, workshops or other events.
But how do you make the leap from blogger to author? It can seem overwhelming when you compare the pile of posts in your archive to a neat and cohesive manuscript ready to publish.
Don’t despair; I’ve got three methods you can use, so read on to see which one appeals to you …
1. The site archive method
Lots of bloggers ignore their archives, which is a shame.
We’re so concerned with the next post that we forget all the value we’ve built up over the months or years we’ve been blogging.
In this method you explore your archives for themes that keep reappearing, or for posts you wrote to answer the most common and compelling questions people keep coming up with in your niche. Your “pillar” or “evergreen” or “foundation” posts are going to come into play here.
Gather the posts you find that meet your criteria into sections, each one for a separate subject. These will eventually become the chapters in your book.
This is the method I used last year when I published A Self-Publisher’s Companion. Then I wrote an introduction for the book, added an up-to-date resource section and the book was done. How cool is that?
2. The series method
This is the opposite of the Archive method, because it means you’ll be writing the book as a series of blog posts or, more likely, as several series.
You’ll outline the book first. This doesn’t have to be difficult, just pick the subjects you want to cover and then divide them into chapters.
For example, your book might have 12 chapters, and each chapter could be about 5,000 words.
Create a blog post that looks at each aspect of your chapter. You’re now looking at a series of five 1,000-word articles. And don’t forget, blog post series are a great way to keep readers involved and coming back for more, so you’ll win both ways, as a blogger and an author.
Just keep writing those series of blog posts, and pretty soon your manuscript will be finished and ready to go.
3. The big edit method
In this method you’ll treat all posts as potential first draft material.
Although this takes the greatest amount of work, it has the potential to produce the best book from the copy you’ve already written.
Look through the content you already have, selecting the parts that work within the scheme of your book. You’ll be doing a ton of cutting-and-pasting as you assemble the bits you want to use.
Undoubtedly, you’ll need to write new material to create an effective manuscript that flows well from one subject to another. To use this method, you’ll probably also need to hire an editor to help shape and smooth out the manuscript.
The truth is, in the book world, hiring an editor is always a good idea.
Your book editor can be a powerful ally when it comes to creating a book people really want to buy.
What’s next?
Now, you’ve got a real book manuscript.
When I did this last year it took about 40 blog posts and a new introduction to create a 222-page trade paperback that sells for $14.95 (print) or $4.99 (ebook).
What’s the profit look like from those books? On sales at Amazon.com — after all discounts and manufacturing costs — my profit is $8.00 per paperback and $3.75 per ebook.
Getting interested? Want to know how to get started turning your archives into books? Here are some tips:
- The fastest way to get a book up for sale without the complications of formatting for print production is with an ebook.
- These are ePub and Mobi ebooks, not PDF ebooks like the ones you give away on your blog.
- You can convert your own files to ebooks with free software like Calibre or with a tool like Scrivener, used by many ebook authors. Apple’s Pages outputs to ePub, and more tools like this are coming online constantly.
- Smashwords will convert your book for free if you follow their formatting guidelines.
- BookBaby offers great deals on ebook conversion and distribution to all major retailers at very low fees.
- Become part of the book scene by getting familiar with some of the big reader communities that are growing like crazy online. Goodreads, Shelfari, Wattpad, and Scribd are all new communities with millions of members that most bloggers have never even heard of.
- Use your blogging schedule to plan out the article series that will become your book manuscript. For instance, you might want to have a special focus on your blog for the month, encouraging lots of discussion and interaction while you’re creating that specific part of your book.
- Leverage your blogging network when it comes time to launch and promote your book. After all, you establish these connections to help market your blog. When your book comes out, it’s a great opportunity to “tour” the other blogs in your niche, exposing you to tons of new readers.
The time is now
Well, there you have it.
No group of people is better situated than bloggers RIGHT NOW to take advantage of the historic movement to digital books and the exploding popularity of self-publishing.
Will you join the revolution?

Helping Your Clients Build an Effective Mobile Strategy
by Jacob Gube on May 17, 2012
It can be a challenge convincing clients to add new strategies to their existing Web presence.
In a perfect world, a client would simply say, "You’re the expert. You know what’s best. Do whatever needs to be done to make it happen!" But, unfortunately, it just doesn’t work like that.
Granted, we shouldn’t expect smart business managers to implement every new thing just because we tell them it’s a good idea. That wouldn’t be cost effective. But what if you know in your gut that the future of a client’s business may be at stake?
With Google executives saying things like "I believe that in 3 years desktop computers will be irrelevant…" and studies by Gartner stating that "Websites not formatted for the smaller screen will become a market barrier…" the Mobile Web is one of your gut instincts you want your clients to follow. And follow now!
In a state of desperate urgency, you may be tempted to place all diplomacy aside, and just tell it to them straight, perhaps even reminding them of those other times they put off your advice. I like to call this the "Timeline of Lost Opportunities" tactic.
You may very well have clients who respond to that type of pressure, but more likely, you will need to ease your clients into the idea of a full-on Mobile Web strategy.
Below is a plan that can help. I’ve even included graphics in each step since, as the old adage goes, "A picture is worth a thousand different ways of pleading with one’s clients." (Or something like that.)
Step 1: Show Them the Money
The Mobile Web is upon us, whether we like it or not. People are using mobile devices to search, shop and click through on ads at unprecedented rates. And rates that are only expected to grow. Presenting numbers like those shown above, as well as information on how their competitors may already be capitalizing on the Mobile Web, can get your clients listening.
Step 2: Show Them What Their Customers Expect
Mobile device users search the Internet as often as they use apps, so having a mobile-ready website is important. Mobile consumers know what they want from a website, and typically take action once they get there. It’s important that your clients understand that their customers have different expectations of what a mobile website does and provides compared to their existing website. Mobile conversion rates can be impressive, but only if a website caters to the expectations of this mobile audience.
Step 3: Outline Best Practices and Give Them Choices
Once you’ve shown your clients how people use mobile devices, it should become more apparent that they need a mobile version of their website. Mobile website solutions need not be complicated or expensive. Show your clients some options, such as responsive web design or going with a dedicated mobile-optimized version of the site (along with the pros and cons of each) while emphasizing mobile website best practices.
Step 4: Help Them Decide Whether They Need a Mobile App
Mobile app usage is impressive, but while people do spend a lot of time using mobile apps, most of that time is spent on games and social networking. So does your client really need a mobile app? You can help them decide by weighing the pros and cons of mobile app development, and presenting ways they can optimize their mobile website as an alternative.
Step 5: Explain the Marketplace and Mobile App Nuances
A good mobile app strategy should analyze current marketplace trends and weigh the pros and cons of developing native apps versus web apps. Be sure to explain how the mobile marketplace works as well as the difference between native and web apps. This can help your clients make more informed decisions.
Step 6: Show Them Options and Give Them Choices
Mobile app solutions vary in price and complexity. Outline options for your client that include using HTML5 or one of the many do-it-yourself mobile app tools available today. Make your recommendations based on the client’s present and future needs.
Step 7: Introduce Other Mobile Marketing Tactics
The Mobile Web is more than just websites and apps. From QR codes to augmented reality, there are a host of tactics and tools you can implement to help your clients promote their business on the Mobile Web. Help your clients understand the importance of mobile-optimized landing pages. When they are marketing to a mobile audience, it is imperative that clients ultimately send potential customers to landing pages and other sources compatible with the customer’s mobile device.
The goal should be to educate your clients on the "hows" and "whys" of the Mobile Web and to help them understand their options. This approach can ultimately help them make informed decisions as they consider your recommendations.
