Sometimes it’s the subtle things that count in regards to making your site stand out from the rest, and with that in mind… jQuery can be your best friend. There are a few light weight jQuery based scripts I tend to use over and over again when developing new WordPress themes. These are very simple techniques that can be applied in under five minutes to just about any theme.

Fade Anything

This is a tiny little script that can be used to fade pretty much any element on a hover event such as post thumbnails, a block of text or even an entire div.

directly above the tag to pull the latest version of jQuery. Once you have jQuery loaded, simply add the following to your theme header.php file.
