Do you know how to create your own wordpress template?

Art, Graphics, Wordpress 2 Comments »

I don’t but I’m giving it a shot for the first time! I’m starting from scratch, building an XHTML compliant template the way I like it, then through some reverse engineering / tutorials, I will pass the data I need to my template files. I’m pretty excited!

Here’s a sneak peak:

Do Know Evil - New Design - Teaser

I’ve been busy with some design work the past few days, finishing up a few more entrecards and working close with clients to get a design that properly represents their business:

The ninjaz have been making some headway and we’re testing out a new host for ~5 game servers which will run NANL configs on. I go back to school in less than a week.

WP-Cache - Are you using it?

I’m a bit surprised at the number of blogs I come across that fail to load. A lot of the times, this can be fixed with a simple plugin call WP-Cache. WP-Cache will save a copy (cache) a Wordpress page the first time a user visits the page. This greatly reduces the overhead as it doesn’t need to run through all the php code and connect to the database on every page call.

It’s a very simple install, just upload the contents of the zip to your plugins directory and activate it. A new menu will appear under your options tab giving you filtering options.

And you can check the status of your cache at anytime, deleting files when necessary.

This plugin is simple and useful. It should be integrated into the project.

Please refer to the README.txt if you’re having trouble.

It’s important to note… that if you have this installed and you’re making template changes, you will need to disable the cache or clear it every time to see the changes in real time.
