Background in wordpress

Do you ever need to show a different background image on your wordpress website, below is one i coded recently.

Let me know how it goes?

Add this code to your css styles sheet, changing the page-id to your own.
/* controls the bg images */

.page-id-28{
background-image: url(images/image.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top;
}

.page-id-12{
background-image: url(images/image.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top;
}

Then go to the header.php file and add this code to add the page ID class to the page header.

Thats it all you need to do is change the above ids to your pages to make the image different!

5 reasons to have a custom website

admin — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:16:49 +0000

We live in an exciting age, with the internet anyone can become a small business or internet based shop, And, because of the open-source movement, anyone with a computer can create a website using website templates or a copy of Photoshop, Dreamweaver and a website design platforms. But in 2012 business is even more cut-throat with the fall of the big retail stores you only have to look at your local town to see the boards going up.

If you want to keep up with the big guns and compete your website needs to be custom and original, below are my 5 reasons to have a custom site.

1. Do You Have The design Skill? Ok anyone can grab a copy or free trial of photoshop but not all of us can design a website creatively most website designers come from a graphic or design background you need to hire a professional to get the job done proper after all would you get anyone to fix your car.

2. Do You Have the Time? Concentrate on your business and let the designer work on your site it will look professional an leaves you to get on with the job of bringing in the business.

3. Templates Are One-Size-Fits-All: Creating a website isn’t a one size fits all job all businesses are different and a custom website design will be designed around your business not the other way round.

4. Made-To-Order  website template All templates are made to order, your website could look like hundreds of others and it won’t be long before a customer would come across this making your business look in-professional, get a custom site and it’s original just like your business is to you.

5. Worth the Investment Custom built websites are just that, they are also tailored to your market with on-page seo requirements. A template would come with messy code no seo or meta’s meaning your business may not even be found it google.

Custom websites as you will agree stands above the crowd, hire a professional , get a custom designed site and watch your business grow.

Displaying Recent Posts with Summary

Some of my customers like to display recent posts with a title and a short description. There are multiple ways of accomplishing that.

The first way is:

”>

And you make sure that the excerpt is a short description of the post. You must rewrite the excerpt to make it fit the word limit.

Another way is using the Word Limit which will save you the time of writing an excerpt because the Word Limit Plugin will automatically crop everything after the desired number of characters. For that you need to download a plugin called Limit-Post which you need to download and activate.
Once the plugin is activated paste the following code where you want it displayed in your theme files:

”>

You may change the 250 to set the character limit of your desire.

Please comment to show me your sites you have coded this on.
