Image Map

For some time I was searching for the name of function (?) that allows to create clickable images. And I didn’t mean entire image hyperlinked but just a part of it – usually in a shape of some element displayed on it. Finally I found the name – Screen Hotspot or Image Map. Knowing it [...]

Listing links

WordPress is using three main functions to list links:

<?php wp_get_links(category); ?> displays links assigned to category which ID is stated within function. So <?php wp_get_links(5); ?> will show all links from category with ID #5.
<?php get_links_list(’order’); ?> displays links sorted by link category ID or name
<?php get_links(category, ‘before’, ‘after’, ‘between’, show_images, ‘order’, show_description, show_rating, [...]

MSN ad

I usually do not comment here things I’ve found somewhere online. But I couldn’t stop myself this time ;) .
Recently MSN is advertising new feature Windows Live Hotmail. Below is a print screen of ad I saw on my MSN Messanger. How can I trust someone who can’t write ad without serious spelling mistakes?

I thought [...]

Search box (by Google ?)

Few times I was told I’m very picky. Actually too picky ;). I guess it concerns also ‘stuff’ I use on my site. Especially when I know it CAN be better then original product.
It’s known that search option built-in WP installation works pretty well but with posts only; pages are ignored. It doesn’t really matter [...]

Original signature

Some time ago I discovered blog „Lorelle on WordPress”. Actually it wasn’t really accident since information on WordPress and blogging ‘stuff’ she provides is so accurate and useful that whatever term (concerning WP) you type into search engine -> one of results will point to her blog ;).
Anyway I noticed she has very original signature [...]

AdSense

AdSense is said to be the most popular (true) and the easiest way to monetize your blog. I’m not planning to explain that neither discuss. I just want to experiment ;).
The point is I heard quite a lot of funny (?) stories about how ads correspond (or rather NOT correspond) to the content of [...]

Index

My biggest problem with finding solutions is that quite often I can’t name it ;). I mean I can explain/describe what I want to achieve but knowing the proper term makes everything much easier. I guess additional problem is that my home language is Polish but all terms connected with web stuff (all terms I [...]

<div style=clear:both;></div> -> forum solution

Hihihi… Polish forum is the best :).
I was explained that this tag
<div style=clear:both;></div>
is disappearing only because I use WYSIWYG Editor! And that editor ‘likes’ to cut off some tags ;). Bad, bad WYSIWYG…
So I turned it off and… voila! Tag is where it should be all the time and I can edit post as much [...]

Tables

I need tables! My main site is still not upgraded to the newest avilable WP version so I can’t use there WP-Table plugin.
That plugin is not bad ;). You can edit all setting that you need (# of columns and rows, width of columns, border size, cells spacing and padding). It also possible to set [...]

Tab at the top of page linked to other site

On my site I wanted to have tab linked to Gallery installed in different place. It appeared very easy to achieve ;).
In my theme folder I had to change header.php file.
It looked like this:
<ul>
<li <?php if(is_home()){echo ‘class="current_page_item"’;}?>><a href="<?php bloginfo(’siteurl’); ?>/" title="Home">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages
(’title_li=&depth=1&’.$page_sort.’&’.$pages_to_exclude)?>
</ul>
And now it looks like that:
<ul>
<li <?php if(is_home()){echo ‘class="current_page_item"’;}?>><a href="<?php bloginfo(’siteurl’); ?>/" title="Home">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages
(’title_li=&depth=1&’.$page_sort.’&’.$pages_to_exclude)?>
<li><a href="http://www.nietoperzka.com/Gallery2/gallery2/main.php" [...]
