What are your top 10 American movies of all time??
The new poll is online now.
In 1998 the American Film Institute (AFI) made a list of the top 100 American films made in the first 100 years of American cinema (1896-1996). Movies produced after 1996 were not included. The top ten movies (according to the AFI) are listed in random order, but with AFI rank following. I immediately knew something was wrong when I noticed there were no zombie movies. Also, no movies starring Mel Gibson, and no movies featuring the top grossing actor of all time, Samuel L. Jackson. Obviously, the AFA omitted a few good movies, and there have been some good films released 1996. I’ve added some additional movies to the list, which were either great movies and/or made a lot of money (marked with a “*”). Vote for the movies which you think belong on the top ten list. Select up to 10 movies from this list.

ColorBoxes 1.1
This plugin allows users to easily add colored information boxes to the top of any post or page. You can insert a blue, yellow, red, or green text box between the title and body of any post or page. Accepts embedded HTML code. Simple. Great way to call attention to critical information. Easy to install and easy to use.

Here’s a cool undocumented feature[1. “Undocumented, means a function or use that the author did not intend, or does not feel sufficiently confident to advertise. If you or I use an undocumented feature, things could break. Your system could lock up, or be horribly disfigured with random characters, at the next upgrade. Use at your own risk!] I discovered, which I like almost as well as the intended, documented, purpose of the plugin. That is, you can create a colored box anywhere in the text of the post or page, by using the following code.
<div class="ag-colorbox info">Text in Blue Box</div>
Text in Blue Box
<div class="ag-colorbox alert">Text in Yellow Box</div>
Text in Yellow Box
<div class="ag-colorbox urgent">Text in Red Box</div>
Text in Red Box
<div class="ag-colorbox success">Text in Green Box</div>
Text in Green Box
Note, the only difference is the code word in the first set of brackets:
- info = blue
- alert = yellow
- urgent = red
- success = green
