Well, the previous story was about PHPComplete.com looking for an editor. Well, judging by the look of their site this morning - they're looking for a lot more. Among the positions that they are trying to fill are: Site Editor, Site Marketer, and Authors. There's several benefits for each position, including web space and the needed "tools" for you to be able to do the job correctly. It's still one of those "for the love of it" things - but if there was ever a PHP site to get into - PHPComplete.com is a good one. Not only has it been around for a while, but it's also one of the stronger resources out there - with tutorials, articles, user blogs, and Jason (a good chunk of the guiding force behind the PHP Developer's Network). So, if you're interested, check out the descriptions and see if there's anything you can do...

New from the O'Reilly PHP department this morning is an article about using Multiple File PHP Scripts. Now, for those confused, this is just using more than one file when all the script could be crammed into one. Most of the time, you can do this to help make your code easier to read and simpler to update in the future. The main thing here is the "include" feature of PHP, and how you can use it to make your scripts seem seamless - like they're all one file. It's interesting, but not for anyone past a beginner level, as it doesn't have anything amazing and new.

And, lastly today, from Evolt.org, there is a new book review of the latest glasshaus book - Usable Web Menus. So many sites don't think about this topic when they're making those fancy Flash animated sites that have all the cool features that they think their visitors might want. Too many times, we, as web designers, get more caught up in making things "cool" and less about making them work. In this article they give some of the tips from the book and what the various sections of the book are (as a preview). It looks like a good solid book that covers a wide variety of menu types, including everything from basic Javascript menus to dynamic server-side menus.
