Amateur webmaster tips: adding Wordpress tags to an old theme

Since I am upgrading my sites to the wonderful Conundrum/Ad Infinitum/Nosebleed themes, which are not yet compatible with Wordpress 2.3, I had to manually add the (only) feature which I find worth upgrading for: tags. In addition to categories, posts may now be tagged with certain keywords.

Adding to Conundrum/Ad Infinitum/Nosebleed. It is easy to upgrade the Conundrum/Ad Infinitum/Nosebleed themes: currently those themes show the categories in which the posts are put below each post. This is a line that starts with “Posted in”. The corresponding code in the Wordpress theme file is “Posted in < ? php the_category(', ') ? >“. To add tags, simply add the code “< ? php the_tags(); ? >” after the category code, and the tags you have entered for each post will appear like magic!

The files to edit in the Conundrum/Ad Infinitum/Nosebleed themes are index.php, archive.php, search.php and single.php.

Adding a tag cloud in the sidebar. A simple tag cloud can be added by editing sidebar.php and adding the following lines of code:

< ? php if ( function_exists('wp_tag_cloud') ) : ? >
< li >
< h2 >Popular Tags< /h2 >
< ul >
< ? php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=8&largest=22'); ? >
< /ul >
< /li >
< ? php endif; ? >

In the above codes make sure to delete the spaces after “<" and before ">“.

Amateur webmaster tips: choosing and modifying your wordpress styles

One of the main reasons for switching part of my Bluebulgaria site to Wordpress was the need to have a cross-platform, cross-browser theme that would work with not too many adjustments. The hard lesson I learned as a newbie webmaster is that the more changes you make to your RapidWeaver or Wordpress style, the higher the risks that something will not work with one browser or another.

That’s why I chose one of the most robust yet eye pleasing Wordpress theme: Mike Lothar’s Nosebleed (also available in different colors as Conundrum or as Ad Infinitum). I limited my changes to changing the image at the top (the file to edit or replace is called “top_image.jpg” and is found in the “images” folder of the theme) and the text colors in the cascading style sheet: simply edit the “style.css” file which is in the theme folder. Every time you see “color” followed by an hexadecimal number preceded with the “#” character, simply change the value to what you need.

In Nosebleed/Conundrum/Ad Infinitum, I also wanted to change the background color on both sides of this fixed-width theme. That was more complicated as this is not defined by a css. Instead the theme puts a “background-color” value in the first and last columns of the table. To achieve a color change there, you need to edit the value in the “header.php” file for the left column, and again in the “footer.php” file for the right column.

iPhone website theme done right

Iphone theme done right
I will be putting my iPhone website theme development efforts on hold for the time being, as RapidWeaver just released a theme done right. You can see it in action on this page, although you will need an iPhone or the iPhoney emulator to view it properly. Currently in beta, the theme is not yet able to detect whether the site is being accessed with an iPhone or with another device. But it is already beautiful and makes a smart use of the sidebar, which slides in when the little menu icon to the right of the navigation bar is pressed (or clicked on if you are still using a mouse and not a finger).

The only issue we have found so far is that the title style (the “h1″ css style) is not suited for long titles because its height is fixed to 34 pixels. Still, this is a much better RapidWeaver theme than our own amateurish attempt, and we would recommend it to all RapidWeaver users who want to develop sites specifically for the iPhone.

RapidWeaver users can grab it here.
