Having an awesome morning at NWA Techfest, great turnout for the inaugural event. Since all of my slides are ready for my 2pm presentation I figured I would live blog my notes (since I left my moleskin at home). So, if you were unable to make it up to Fayetteville this morning, enjoy… The highlight […]
WordPress Menu Support for Older Themes
As a lot of you that are die-hard WordPress users are probably already aware, WordPress has launched their new menu builders under the appearance tab. The menu builder will allow you to create a menu from any categories, pages and links, order them by drag and drop, create submenus, etc. This is something that I […]

Projects: Conway Faith Church Redesign
Recently I have been working on a wordpress theme redesign for one of our ministry clients, Conway Faith Church. After getting some input from their senior pastor regarding what he wanted to see incorporated into the new design I set out to design this new layout built upon the Studiopress Genesis Framework. With just a handful […]
Your Thoughts on WordPress?
I pretty much develop all of my clients websites these days using wordpress as the backend content management system unless there are some really far out project requirements that I don’t see wordpress as a good fit for. Honestly I don’t hear many project requirements these days that won’t work inside of wordpress, especially given […]
Wordcamp Fayetteville #WCFay

Genesis Theme Framework Review
I am a huge fan of Brian Gardner’s StudioPress Premium Themes for WordPress and have been for a while now. His code is always consistent, clean, and well documented. StudioPress CSS (cascading style sheets) are always very easy to navigate for adjusting fonts, colors, etc. So in the latter part of 2009 when StudioPress. announced that […]
Projects: WordPress Themes
In case some of you haven’t noticed, I have been relatively quiet lately. The reason for my silence had a lot to do w/ the fact that I somehow managed to simultaneously catch the stomach virus and flu at the same time. Fortunately I am doing a lot better. While getting caught back up on […]
Manually Add Recent Comments to Sidebar (WordPress)
On 90% of my clients projects that are running WordPress I usually don’t run their Recent Comments anywhere on the site but in some rare cases they might actually want them. I was talking to my partner Greg today and he was wanting to do this on his site. I had to stop and think […]
WP Remix 3 Template Review
I have had the WPRemix3 Template system for a while now but only recently dove into it to actually use on a client project. My reluctance was that it’s not your typical template and I knew that there would be a learning curve for me to get up to speed with it and to feel […]
