Issue with the User Logout Button in WordPress 2.7
I noticed a small issue in WordPress 2.7 when I was designing a login bar at the top of a client’s site and the logout link would not log the user out. I had coded the same way I had coded a logout button in the past, but it wouldn’t function properly. That is because […]
Using WP_Query to Fetch Posts in WordPress
I was just putting together a WordPress widget for a client and I came across a small road block. I was using <?php query_post(); ?> to set the loop to act the way I needed it to but when the widget loaded up in the left sidebar, it caused some issues when going to a […]
Using Bloginfo to Build a Custom Theme for WordPress
When you build a custom theme in WordPress that you would eventually like to share with the WordPress community, you can’t hard code certain elements like the blog’s name or images links.

Searchable Links Plugin for WordPress
Quick on the heels of my first WordPress plugin, Add Logo to Admin, comes a way more complicated plugin that took me quite a while to figure out. Once I actually get some sleep and take a look over it again I will probably put up some tidbits on how to make something like this […]
4 More Social Bookmarking Icons
I have had a few requests for icons that I didn’t include in my first set of 8 Free Social Bookmarking Icons, so I decided to throw together another 4. This set contains icons for Yahoo, Google, Newsvine and Twitter. If there are any more that you might need, please let me know so I […]
Adding Social Bookmarking Links to WordPress
There are plugins that do this but once again, I’m a code junky and I love being able to go in and manipulate the code to get what I want. I just recently added some social bookmarking links at the top of this site, as you can see.
