Our responsive layout is coming on in leaps and bounds, so let’s crank it up even further! Today we’ll look at various jQuery plugins which we’ll use to pull Twitter and Flickr feeds into our page, plus a responsive slider plugin for our features area at the top.
Preparing the Footer
Before we start implementing various jQuery toys, let’s first tidy up our footer area. We’ll tackle the diagonal line styling behind the h4 elements, place our secondary logo, add the generic dummy content and finish styling the lists.

Implementing Tweet! and Flickrush
Having dealt with most of the styling, we can now grab the Twitter and Flickr jQuery plugins which will pull feeds into our document. As we’re starting to add quite a lot of code to the foot of our page, we’ll make a point of compiling that all into a single .js file.

Implementing Flexslider
Last, but not least, the responsive slider plugin. We’ll be using the hugely capable Flexslider plugin (recently acquired by WooThemes) and implementing it to show off a few PhotoDune images.
