Have you ever wanted to create your own Wordpress theme? If yes then you must know of all the tutorials out there. The problem is that most of them are incomplete. But not any more! Ian Stewart from ThemeShaper released, what I consider, the best step-by-step tutorial series for those who want to learn how […]

WordPress started in 2003. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on hundreds of thousands of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day. But you already knew that! By itself this blogging tool used to be just that: a way to put […]

Street is something that was created from a spark of inspiration, something that I felt should look like this. This wasn't thought out nor planed.

Update 11.17.2010 The category image was removed and all thumbnails are now created using the Featured Image default functionality. If no Featured Image is added a default image appears in place. Simply put I have been lazy lately. I know this isn't the best way to sell my self but a little bit of honesty […]

With the launch of Thematic 0.9 we now have out of the box drop-down menus to work with. This is one of the many features added to 0.9 that was requested by the community.
