I have had my eyes on a lot of WordPress theme designers over the last few years, But with few exceptions Small Potato stands out among the rest. You may ask why I hold him in such regards. It simple! He is a top notch designer that gives back to the WordPress community. It’s not that other designers don’t do the same with their themes. But Small Potato takes it to another level by aiding designers with...

A reader suggested I make a video of my earlier post Replacing default theme logo I have never done this kind of thing before so I’m a little….

A common question that seems to come up often is; how do I setup virtual host on apache. I’m going to show you how to do this on apache running on windows. It really is very simple. I’m going to show you how you can do this in 5 minutes, and just 4 steps. Before we start you will need to download a fresh copy of XAMPP Lite. Once downloaded, unzip the file. You do not need to install this it will run...

If you just installed XAMPP, and noticed that it Skype is no longer working for you, here’s why; both are server technologies, which use the same port. This port (port 80) is commonly used for web servers. So what’s happening is that Skype & XAMPP are both listening to, and sending data trough port 80. But they were not designed to share that data stream. This is commonly called a port conflict....

Ok, announcing something after you have already started is just plain wrong. I know that now, and yes I new it from the start. But what’s done is done and here goes any ways; I plan to offer up a weekly feature. This feature will cover one WordPress theme designer every week. I will highlight their themes and interview them.

In MyBlogIt’s first weekly feature  of WordPress Theme designers We interview miloIIIIVII, and explore her themes. miloIIIIVII has been developing WordPress Themes since late 2006. She has designed more than 60 themes for WordPress.

It’s very simple, write a short introduction to the post and copy/paste the article to your site. Below is a matrix of 120 stars, I have already added a link to my blog onto one of the stars, all you need to do is copy and paste the grid into your blog and add your own link to one of the other spare stars, and tell others to do the same!

I recently wrote an article on installing and using XAMPP on a thumb drive, and this got me thinking. (Oh no you say!) This would be a good way of demonstrating a working site to a client. It would work great if you were there with them to start up the server. But what if you wanted to send it to them.

Last night I discovered that the blogs commenting feature was not working. It is now fixed. In addition I have installed a plug-in called LinkLove. Here’s a description of this plug-in from the designers website:

Many times when a theme designer set out to create the next great theme the over look the fact that you do not know how to change their logo for yours. Some even goes as far as to embedding the logo into a larger image in the header. Trust me they are not trying to be evil, (in most cases anyway.) The just don’t realize that not everyone is as versed with image editing as they themselves are. So I will...
