How does one go about making a custom function to append to the jQuery selector? Something that would look like:
$('.my_class').my_function();

You want to add the function to jQuery.fn (which is a reference to the jQuery object prototype). For more details check out:

An example\stub:
(function($){
$.fn.my_function = function(){ ... };
})(jQuery);

This is great! D'ya by any chance know of a vanilla.js way of writing this so that if your project doesn't have JQuery, it won't throw any errors? I realise that it won't work either, but I want to add it to the "universal-functions.js" file that I throw into all my projects.
