Last Friday in response to a question by Tyrun I posted a little micro-tutorial about how I achieve the parallax scrolling header for the site, walking through the steps on setting up images, CSS, HTML and JavaScript (in particular, I use jQuery). I also learned a thing or two about how annoying WordPress can be with code snippets in posts (Use <pre>. Really. I don’t know why I didn’t.)

Everything in the tutorial is exactly as it was on my site at the time of writing. However, this is no longer the case. Over the weekend I got a tweet from William Flake indicating a modification he made to the code to prevent a “jump” that occurred when you first moved the mouse into the header. I liked his alterations so much that I’ve made use of them in my code.

This week William wrote about his code alterations over at his site Unfinished Thoughts in a post entitled Of Squirrels and Men. If you enjoyed my parallax code, please take a look at what changes he made. They’re definitely worth a gander.
