I work with WordPress a lot.  By nature, I like to fiddle with things too.  With that said, I have never been a fan of default font that the WordPress Editor uses.  In fact, I can easily say that if I could change it, I would.  Well, fear not fellow users, there is an easy way to spruce up your …

If you are frequently making changes to your WordPress blog, you have have become tired of having to go through a bunch of menus to delete an out of date or irrelevant post. With a simple edit to your functions.php file, you can add a “Move to Trash” button to your WordPress Admin bar for simple deletes.

A friend of mine recently went through some issues with WordPress and the WYSIWYG editor.  His theme’s content width is 620px, but the editor is as wide as his screen.  With that said, when he would create a post and insert pictures he would have to preview the post over and over to make sure things were falling into the …

I love when things go wrong!  It gives me an opportunity to, perhaps, enlighten people with solutions that may find themselves in a familiar situation.  Recently, I have been toying with some comments systems on the site, namely Intense Debate and DISQUS.  In the process of experimenting with both of these services I noticed that there had been no comments …

WordPress is a very flexible platform for site owners.  Unfortunately, by default, WordPress limits many of the things you can do right off the bat.  One thing I have encountered lately is the need to have contributors upload images to insert into posts as this is not allowed from the start with WordPress.  You may be asking, why is this …

There are many things about WordPress that make life easy… and a few that are a real pain in the butt.  One of the pains is the login form’s logo and url.  If you are like me, you want to brand your sites and doing so gives the site that extra touch of personalization.  Not to mention, if you are …
