Injecting Any Ads in Wordpress Posts Automatically
Dec 27 at 7:07pm by Andrew Benton
So, on one of my other sites (http://www.thatsingleguy.com), I wanted a way to automatically insert adsense (or any other ads source) into my posts without having to remember to use the adsense deluxe, select the correct one, and put the tag in ever single post I had written. Here is what I’m going to show you how to do:
Designing a New Wordpress Theme, Part I — The Beginning
Dec 4 at 10:10am by Andrew Benton
So, while I love this theme by bloggingpro, it disgruntles me that its not a design of my own. With that said, I am officially beginning a redesign of this blog, with full advertising, readability, and user-friendliness. I’m doing this for a number of reasons, mainly because I want my blog to have my design. Also, I wanted more control over layout, content areas, and advertising space. With my design, I think I can better optimize the space given to each, and also, it has a fresh new minimalistic approach which I’ve seemed to be really into lately.
So, I figured as a learning experience for both myself and my readers, I would document every step I take from design to implementation, to launch, and then share the theme with the world. Not a new idea of course, but I’ve rarely seen designers document their every step to theme creation, talk about issues involved with such an undertaking, and so on.
So, check back tomorrow for Part II, covering the initial Photoshop design, considerations for ads, content, etc, and much more. I hope this series sparks some creativity in my readers, and hey, if you do/don’t like what I’m doing, let me know, you could very well change the refresh!
