If you’re looking for a blog theme with a lot of style, you’re going to love this new theme from Template Monster. In warm yellows, golds and neutrals, this business-oriented design is a modified three-column layout which flows well regardless of browser type and screen size. If you’re looking to start a more corporate style blog, this template is worth a look.
Sorry for not keeping up on the posting end of things, but it has been a busy September. I’ve been trying to streamline how I (and my customers) manage blogging, and I’ve found a couple of nice FireFox extensions that really help out.
I know I’m an extensions addict. But these are quite nice finds - even for a junkie like me :) .
I was building a theme for a client the other day (yes, I have to get around to actually building one of my own for this site) and I was at a loss for how he wanted his website layout to flow: he wanted separate pages for each category he had in his blog so he could go into more detail. Donning my programmer cap, I figured it would take some serious coding to get this feature implemented, but a quick trip to the codex proved me wrong. The smart fellows over there anticipated this and developed a system to deal with blogs that have specific category customization needs, or those with no needs at all, who don’t want extra stuff cluttering their theme.
Category presentation in Wordpress is modeled from specific to general, that is, when presenting content for a specific category, Wordpress is going to first look for a category page that contains the ID of the category in question. For example, let’s assume we had a category for trees that had an ID of six. When presenting the content, Wordpress looks in your theme directory for a page named category-6.php . If it does not find a page like that, it degrades to the next most specific page for categories: category.php . Let’s assume again that we never got around to creating THAT page, the system then degrades and looks for: archive.php. But, we were really lazy, and never made an archive page. Well the system is smart enough to compensate for that, and degrades all the way back to index.php.
Check out the codex for a complete overview of category pages and their implementation in Wordpress.
