WordPress Styles

Archive for August, 2009

So I am a web designer, I design web sites in Photoshop and then I create HTML code. I am great with static web sites but I am not very good at web programming (PHP) and I would like to learn it but really cannot find much time for it lately. So my question is is there a way for me to create my own design in Photoshop/Dreamweaver and then use my own design with CMS solutions like Wordpress, Joomla etc… The point is I want to create database websites and update them trough CMS but have my own design used and not those templates that you can find on web for Joomla for example. So is this possible and which CMS solution do you recommend: Joomla, Wordpress or some other? Thanks

use joomla for that

For example, I would like to write a wordpress post, and apply a few different CSS classes to certain line items or headers, etc.

Is there a way to do this?

Example:
<li class="bigboldredtext">This text would be big red and bold, but without editing any html, it would be a dropdown in the edit post menu if possible</li>
I run WP on my own domain. So to apply styles, I have to do it through the edit HTML tab, there’s no way to do it in the WYSIWYG edit post area?

If you’re on wordpress.com, editing CSS is a Premium Feature which will cost you a buck and change a month.

If you have your own domain and run WP, it’s a simple matter of editing the stylesheet (style.css, likely) to include the new class and then coding the templates that will use it.

I’m trying to help my mom with her blog
She is currently using the 3 column "Fadtastic" template and there are two RSS-related items in the right-hand column. She’d like both of them gone. I’ve been searching and have no idea how to do this! Can anyone please help? Thanks!

Get rid of the plug-in, if you do this, take it out of the widget bar too, it’ll be gone.

Hello. Does anybody know where can I create a good custom wordpress theme? Thank you

You can start by duplicating the default theme, Kubrick and playing around with it. Make sure to rename the theme somthing besides default, that way it will not get written over when you are upgrading. It is located in /wordpress/wp-content/themes/default. Their are a few main files there: header.php, index.php, single.php page.php, and footer.php. Start by breaking your current template up into those files. The header and footer are straight forward and will go on every page, the index.php goes on the home page, the page.php will be for pages, and the single.php will be for individual post pages. experiment by changing around the default. you’ll get the hand of it.

I’d lke to use WordPress as a content manager to run a normal website, one that doesn’t have comments, trackback, etc. Is there any way I can do this?

Yes, you start with a template you like and then strip out some areas to make it feel less like a blog. The comments/trackbacks can be turned off via Settings > Discussion, but other aspects of the theme may require you to edit the files. Generally there will be around 5-10 templates in your theme’s directory such as:

header.php
index.php
page.php
single.php
archive.php
sidebar.php
footer.php

and then a style.css for the theme’s styling.

If you have no experience with editing code, then you’re going to need to look for an existing WordPress theme that’s intended to be used for your purposes.

An article I intend to submit in a discussion next week. Your views (backed by reason) will be appreciated.

The Press and certain quarters of fans, including Gooners, no longer lap up or lavish praise on Mr Wenger like they once did.
Where once his tactics, selection and transfer policy were held up as examples of wisdom or brilliance, they are now open to disbelief and even, scorn.
Nearly 5 years as the ‘Nearly Team’, and his refusal to spend and willingness to sell key players, have once again highlighted his most obvious flaw (stubbornness), instead of his many achievements.

To such new depths has this assessment of him sunk, that even his erstwhile rival, Sir Alex Ferguson, has to put in a good word or two, to remind people of the man’s ability.

Besides the obvious silverware he brought to Highbury, and his philosophy of playing passing possible, his greatest impact perhaps, has been to change the mindset of modern management.

In the past where great managers like Paiseley, Clough and maybe Venables, Atkinson or Robson, focused more on the psychological impact and keeping it simple on the pitch, Wenger’s policy of dieting, structured training and shaping individual players style to suit the team, is now the standard used by almost everyone.

Only Ferguson and maybe Roy Hodgson at Fulham, continue with the old system. And with their impending retirement, it’s likely this concept will end with them.

But what’s gone wrong with Wenger? For one, that stubbornness remains, a refusal to see his players misdeeds whilst screaming for blood when they are victimised, and his refusal to budge from his method of buying players.

But other than that, I don’t see anything really wrong with him or with Arsenal. Arsenal have not become a poor team overnight, it’s just that the challengers have improved as well. But Arsenal has remained constant for the better part.

Investing in a new stadium is definitely the correct thing to do. 38,000 at Highbury, is simply not enough for an 11 time League Champion, or one that intends to conquer Europe. Better to bite the bullet and do it now, than wait until it’s necessary and consequently, an impediment.

Buying and grooming young players is also a master-stroke, more so because they are introduced to proven system and style of play.
Refusing to splash exorbitant sums of cash is also correct.

Whether you have a Ronaldo, Kaka or Torres, in the end it is still 11 v 11. Most players in good top teams like Arsenal, Milan, Bayern Munich or Lyon have very good players, whom when consistent, can hold their own against top players at other big clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter, Man Utd or Chelsea.

So in essence, I say that Wenger has nothing to prove, he’s doing exactly the right things by and large. The only things he needs to do is to give his squad more depth and most of all, have a bit more luck.

Many great managers before him like Brian Clough (Leeds to Forest), Kenny Dalgish (Liverpool to Blackburn) and Ferguson himself (5 years from Aberdeen to success at United), have also been in this situation where their powers and abilities were questioned.

Eventually, they succeeded in the end, because like Wenger, they were natural born winners. This is what makes a good manager, a great one.

And believe me, Arsene Wenger is a great manager.

Enjoy Arsenal’s Theme Song:

to certain supporters from all teams,it’s all about silverware in the cupboard and i’m sure arsene could’ve won the carling & Fa cup if he really tried in the last 4 seasons but for him the bigger prize is the prem then the Cl,what i believe arsene wants to achieve for the Arsenal is a reputation of the Highest order in Europe even the world like utd,real and barca and too achieve this was stage one complete was the New stadium,second stage was a youth policy similar to Ajax and Barca which is nearly there,thirdly is too have a squad of local talents which i believe we have now ready for the future,wilshire and gibbs springs to mind,arsene Doesn’t spend unnecessarily on oversea’s journey man which might give him a brief spell of glory instead puts his money into the foundation of the club so that when he Retires the club will still operate at the highest order regardless who comes in,look at barca and ajax great set for future managers to come in and then look at chelsea,liverpool and no doubt when SAF retires,this is very costly and unproductive which i believe is the Legacy he will leave behind and not some too bit trophies,Aston villa won the European cup as well as Nottingham forest where are they now,Burnley,preston.derby.leeds all won the 1st diversion in their history,where are they now,Once arsene leaves the Club has to survive and continue to dominate not a short brief history But a legacy for Future generations to come..and because i believe in this theory and the blueprints are there to be seen,arsenal supporters should realise this and not worry this blip we’ve at this moment.

Personally I think its really rude of people to do that. The reason why they make them is so people can afford something like the real thing and people buy them because they like the style. They shouldn’t be made fun of for having an opinion. What I want to know is why people get all mean and weird about designer labels or why people at work get made fun of for having a fake coach purse.

My friend and I really need more views

b/c not only are fakes really obvious and tacky looking, but they are bad for the world. So you want to look like you have $200 to spend on a bag, but you don’t. So instead of maybe saving and giving your money to the designer who worked hard to come up with the design, you take the easy way and buy it from a counterfeiter. Most counterfeiters are also involved in other illegal activities like drug and human trafficking (means kidnapping and kids into prostitution and slave labor at sweat shops). So when you proudly tote your fake bag around, there is the blood of young girls on it. If you can sleep at night with that info, well then there is no hope for you as a human. Fakes not only make you look like a cheapass, but a heartless one. Anyone who knows anything about fashion knows it’s always better to carry an inexpensive non designer bag than a fake.

i know about artisteer but thats over $100 and i only want to play around so looking for something similar but free
i know css html xhtml i just want to know what pacifically wodpress needs
