WordPress Theming Live

When developing projects with WordPress the same questions come up repeatedly. People tend to ask which themes to use, which plug-ins work best, and what can they really do with WordPress? This site is my attempt to answer those questions as best I can.

Quality Themes

For most small WordPress projects, a free or low cost theme is the way to go.  I am developing a section of the site showcase my favorite themes, all of which have been tested and work well.  If you are a developer with a new theme, or are using one that I haven’t posted, please send me a note.

Plug-in Reviews

When adding new features to sites, be it a twitter feed or a photo gallery, my first stop is generally the plug-ins repository.  There’s not always a solution that works perfectly, but in most cases it works well enough and is a lot quicker than developing my own.  I’m planning to review all the plug-ins I use regularly here, and add new ones as they appear.

Tutorials and Time Savers

Here’s my tips and suggestions for developing with WordPress- a lot of which are posted here just so I don’t have to look up them up again.  If I run into a problem, I’ll post about it, and hopefully help someone out there with a similar problem.

About the Site

This is a custom theme based off the Thematic Framework.  Everything was done on a Mac, designed in Photoshop and coded in Dreamweaver. Some CSS3 features were used, so the site view slightly different across browsers. Firefox gets the most love, of course, but there’s still a plain and very usable site with IE6. If you’re interested in the code, take a look at the stylesheets.
