WordPress 2.8 Theme Design

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:36:14 +0000

WordPress 2.8 Theme Design
Author: Tessa Blakeley Silver
Publisher: Packt Publishing
Publication Date: 2009-12-17
ISBN-10: 1849510083
ISBN-13: 9781849510080
Paperback: 292 Pages

Theme design can be approached from two angles. The first is simplicity; sometimes it suits the client and/or the site to go as bare-bones as possible. In that case, it’s quick and easy to take a very basic, pre-made theme and modify it. The second is “Unique and Beautiful”. Occasionally, the site’s theme needs to be created from scratch so that everything displayed caters to the specific kind of content the site offers. This book is going to take you through the Unique and Beautiful route with the idea that once you know how to create a theme from scratch, you’ll be more apt at understanding what to look for in other WordPress themes. This book can be used by WordPress users or visual designers (with no server-side scripting or programming experience) who are used to working with the common industry-standard tools like PhotoShop and Dreamweaver or other popular graphic, HTML, and text editors. Regardless of your web development skill-set or level, you’ll find clear, step-by-step instructions, but familiarity with a broad range of web development skills and WordPress know-how will allow you to gain maximum benefit from this book.

ISBN-10: 1847196543
ISBN-13: 9781847196545
Paperback: 268 Pages

Build your own blog network with unlimited users and blogs, forums, photo galleries, and more!

Design, develop, secure, and optimize a blog network with a single installation of WordPress
Add unlimited users and blogs, and give different permissions on different blogs
Add social networking features to your blogs using BuddyPress
Create a bbPress forum for your users to communicate with each other
Part of Packt’s Beginner’s Guide Series, with step-by-step, detailed instructions for building a blog network from scratch

In Detail

WordPress MU enables you to build a complete, professional blog network. Each user gets their own blog, and can choose their favorite templates and plug-ins, and develop their own content. WordPress MU powers some of the largest blog networks in the world, including the mighty WordPress.com – home to thousands of bloggers.

This book will take you through the setup of a WordPress MU-powered blogging network, using a real, working blog network as an example, so that you can follow the creation process step-by-step. Your blogging network will be complete with professional features such as friends lists, status feeds, groups, forums, photo galleries, and more, to build your own WordPress.com – a place where users can quickly come and create a blog for themselves.

The book starts with a clean install of WordPress MU, and as you work through the book, you will build the blog network, and add on more and more features, all seamlessly integrated to achieve a professional, custom-built look.

You will find new themes and plug-ins added to the site, as well as customization of the WordPress multi-user code. The book will also look at ways you can manage your community, and keep your site safe and secure, ensuring that it is a spam-free, enjoyable community for your users. In the later chapters, you will add a forum using the bbPress script, and add BuddyPress social networking components to your site.

Imagine how good you’ll feel when your first WordPress multi-user blog network launches.

What you will learn from this book?

Set up and run your own blog network using the multi-user version of the most popular open source blogging platform
Monetize your blog network and earn revenue from using simple banner advertisements to paid upgrades and revenue sharing models
Give users a chance to interact with each other and build community spirit by integrating a forum with your site
Hook your blog network up to other social networking sites such as Twitter
Increase traffic to your site with tagging, trackbacks, pings, and RSS
Add popular features such as gravatars, polls, photo galleries, friends lists, and more
Secure your blog network, and protect it from spam with reCAPTCHA and Bad Behaviour
Implement backup and performance optimization techniques that will ensure that your blog network will be capable of handling large numbers of visitors

Approach

Packed with easy-to-follow examples and screenshots, this book is designed to be followed from beginning to end, although those with existing WordPress MU sites will be able to jump in at the later chapters and pick out the things that are important to them. The author’s expertise with creating a wide variety of WordPress sites enables her to share insights on using WordPress effectively, in a clear and friendly way. Those interested in digging further will be given the chance to customize their site further. Throughout the book, you will build up a blog network for Vampire Slayers-SlayerCafe.com, as an example.

Who this book is written for?

If you wish to manage multiple blogs and build a blog network, then this book is for you. You are not expected to be experienced with PHP coding. Some knowledge of HTML, and some experience with the blogging and social networking world will be helpful, but not essential.

Description of The Zen of CSS Design: Visual Enlightenment for the Web

Proving once and for all that standards-compliant design does not equal dull design, this inspiring tome uses examples from the landmark CSS Zen Garden site as the foundation for discussions on how to create beautiful, progressive CSS-based Web sites. By using the Zen Garden sites as examples of how CSS design techniques and approaches can be applied to specific Web challenges, authors Dave Shea and Molly Holzschlag provide an eye-opening look at the range of design methods made possible by CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). By the time you’ve finished perusing the volume, you’ll have a new understanding of the graphically rich, fully accessible sites that CSS design facilitates. In sections on design, layout, imagery, typography, effects, and themes, Dave and Molly take you through every phase of the design process–from striking a sensible balance between text and graphics to creating eye-popping special effects (no scripting required).

About the AuthorDave Shea is the creator and cultivator of the highly influential CSS Zen Garden Web site (www.csszengarden.com).

Description of Programming Web Services with XML-RPC (O’Reilly Internet Series)

‘This is a good book and, if this is an area of programming that interests you, simply buy a copy and save yourself hours of trial and error.’ – Mike James, Computer Shopper, October 2001

Programming Web Services with XML-RPC introduces the simple but powerful capabilities of XML-RPC, a system for remote procedure calls built on XML and the HTTP protocol. XML-RPC lets developers connect programs running on different computers with a minimum of fuss, by wrapping procedure calls in XML and establishing simple pathways for calling functions. With XML-RPC, Java programs can talk to Perl scripts, which can talk to Python programs, ASP applications, and so on. Developers can provide access to functionality without having to worry about the system on the other end, so it’s easy to create web services. This book supplies the details of both the XML-RPC specification and various XML-RPC implementations, so you can get started developing distributed applications in Java, Perl, Python, ASP, or PHP.
