In this post, we are going to create our own events list that will let us add events simply by writing posts and assigning them to an “Events” category. It can’t get much easier than that!

Any good website owner knows that they need to be constantly looking at ways to improve their site even through small little tweaks. If you’re using WordPress you’ll notice that it isn’t easy to create a development version without creating a separate installation. Of course, you can make changes directly on a live WordPress site but that isn’t recommended for anything other than minor tweaks.

Here are just a few nuggets of wisdom – things I am doing to help protect my site and hopefully prevent an attack like what I experienced yesterday from happening again.

Post Thumbnails are getting more popular every day. Many magazine themes associate an image with a specific post which they later display on either homepage or on the post page. We display a thumbnail with our posts on both the post page and the category page. In older versions, this functionality was obtained with the use of custom-field method which was not very user friendly. Thanks to WordPress Core Developers along with many notable features in WordPress 2.9, this function was also added to the core.

We were working on a WordPress site that needed to display a sticky post at the top of the blog page with one style, and then below it a list of the most recent posts with a completely different style.

Just a very quick tip but nonetheless an important one. Many of you will be using any number of plugins or the database query that’s been doing the rounds recently to display your most popular posts. That code/plugin is no longer needed as WordPress’ query_posts can now display your most commented posts.

The default output for WordPress’ post_class template tag includes class names for just about every type of page view imaginable, but not the Category ID.

I wanted to integrate a Flickr gallery and found that it was actually pretty easy to do by parsing the Flickr RSS feed using the fetch_feed() function already built into WordPress

Today, I would like to put all my love for WordPress into this tutorial to explain how to build WordPress as a Community News, … but in a right way.

In this article I want to show an example in which are the main pages in a horizontal navigation. The related sub-pages are displayed in the sidebar when you click on the main page.
