theme customization process

Q... — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 13:47:15 +0000

How did I customize this blog template?

Removed the extended header
Removed and changed the extended footer
Made transparent the
graphic
Added a
specification to CSS
Added a
specification to CSS
Played with the header and footer graphics but only used the new footer.
Removed credits from the footer and created a separate page.

Playing with the header and footer graphics took the longest. I also did not like the placement of the entire page– so that took a little time to adjust. It took me about 2-3 hours to customize this template for my needs.

Do you have an existing template that needs tweaking? I am pretty good at stuff like this– send me a message.

I also have a great collection of templates and plugins. I do not charge for these templates. I charge to tweak the template to your specification or research time to find the perfect template for your needs. You already have one? Just the tweaking.

Peter’s Anti Spam Plugin

Q... — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 20:50:21 +0000

I found a WordPress spam comment plugin that seems to work– right out of the box. It is installed on this blog– see this link for a demo. See this link to read more or download. I found this plugin on this page.

Another popular spam plugin TrencaSpammers. My preliminary tests indicate TrencaSpammers only works with WordPress 1.5.

Instructions for installing Peter’s plugin are on his page and not within the zip file. Easy– create a new directory under wp-content/plugins/custom-anti-spam/ and then upload the 5 files that come with the package. Go into the WordPress Plugins tab and activate the plugin. That’s all. If problems occur, deactivate the plugin. Should not affect anything else.
