‘Wordpress’ is renowned for allowing a generous selection of various feeds, whether it be ‘RSS’ or ‘ATOM’ or others, but it only comes with one basic feed option has default. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to have a separate feed for separate categories?

Citizen Kane begins with confirmation of death of the main character, Charles Foster Kane. A news report follows, that condenses the 70 years of Charles Foster Kane's life into a few minutes. The news report is not in chronological order, yet the order in which it is presented is microcosmic of the order of events in the proceeding scenes of Citizen Kane. Read the rest of this page »

This hack makes WordPress display a category image next to posts.

Every category needs to have an *.png image named in accordance to the "nice name" of the category (if the category is called "Web Development", the nice name would be "web-development" so the category image should be "web-development.png" and placed in the /wp-images folder in the root of a WordPress blog).

A "my-hacks.php" file must exist on the server of a WordPress installation. If one does not exist create one. Also, ensure that the "Use legacy my-hacks.php file support" checkbox is checked in Options > Miscellaneous in the admin area of wordpress.

Pre-Written Text On The WordPress ‘Write’ Page

I wanted to have some text at the bottom of every page and thus have it prewritten in the ‘Write‘ section of my admin section of my WordPress blod. I did not want to have to go through the rigmoral of entering the same text everytime that I wanted to write a new post. I asked myself:

How could I do this?

Step 1: Editing the ‘wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php‘ file.

The file that needs to be edited is ‘edit-form-advanced.php‘ in the ‘wp-admin‘ folder. The line in question is 100. I looked for the following portion of code on line 100 of the ‘edit-form-advanced.php‘ file:

<? php echo $content ?>
I AM AMAZING!

For the sake of this example, the text, I want to have pre-written in the ‘Post’ field in the ‘Write’ page is “I AM AMAZING!“. In order to achieve my objective I simply alter the above code to the following:

<? php echo $content ?>
I AM AMAZING!

Step 2: Save and upload.

I then saved my changes and uploaded the changed ‘edit-form-advanced.php‘ file to my webserver in the ‘wp-admin‘ folder, and perfection is mine!

I wanted to just show my ‘website news’ category in the root of my WordPress installation. But by default index.php shows the latest posts from all categories, this was not what I wanted. So how could I get what I want?

Lets all become Jews!

No - I am not a jew. But if I was a jew and you were a jew the world could save a lot of energy. Why?

Well look at where we are right now in the world. The media both offline and online is full of people whining about "The price of oil bla bla" ... "The price of electricity that. Moan. Moan. Moan."

Well instead of moaning, yours truly has THE solution.

Just so we are clear, let me re-type my first line:

Lets all become Jews

Why?
