    Perhaps you could manipulate the elements using jQuery? A little more explanation of exactly what you want to do would be helpful in giving a more complete answer.

  • How to do this in Wordpress ?

    Whether you can change the HTML or not depends greatly on the technique you're using to put the images into the post to begin with.

  • pre tag

    You ought not to be modifying anything outside of wp-content anyway as this is core and so your changes will get overwritten when WordPress updates. To avoid, you should define a custom function in your theme to alter the default set of tags that ar…

  • Wordpress theme Logo only on certain pages?

    It's happening because the header.php file (where you probably have your logo markup) gets included on every page so the base URL for relitive links changes. A way to get around this - always make sure the path is based wherever the theme dire…

  • How to do this in Wordpress ?

    You could add each image URL as a value to the page and output these however you please outside of the_content() (using the get_post_meta() method) in a custom theme template. For learning how to do that, this tutorial could be useful:

  • Anyone moved a Wordpress install from the root to a new directory?

    From previous expierence, you should just be able to move the files with no problems and still have it work. The only potential roadblock I can think of is that there maybe some absolute paths for keys like home who's values don't update a…

  • Wordpress Theme - Review

    Just personal opinion of course but I actually love the rich image, :hover transitions on parent nav items and the semi-translucent header (although I would second @HugoGiraudel's comment about the negative impact of this on the readability of …

    so i should get rid of the sandy looking article? keep it black? That's still kinda my gut advice. Take that with a pinch of salt though as I am by no means anything of a visual designer so @chrisburton could be right. Just my gut reactio…

  • Need some feedback for my website

    Although I always seem to sat this, I find the simplicity here really attractive. One enhancement though would be to ensure that, when the welcome pulldown is hovered over, the cursor could do with shifting from the text caret to whatever is standar…

    I think that's better (a little simpler) and I reckon you should stick with dark specifically for the gradients, rather than the sandy option. It works well as a complementary contrasting colour though (as in the sidebar).

  • How to host demo sites for a portfolio of web designs?

    If you need them to be on separate domains, you might want to look into Media Temple's Grid Service plan. This allows you to host up to 100 domains on the same account and, unlike some other shared options, they aren't just redirects but c…

  • Help in choosing a computer

    I would say the Air was made for simple portable use (email, light browsing, etc) rather than daily work use. To an extent, that's true. I think though, in terms of normal web development tasks (coding, Photoshop etc.), the moderns Airs ar…

  • Help in choosing a computer

    One dislike I have with the Air is that it is really small. I don't think I could work daily on a screen of that size. I wouldn't buy an Air for myself due to the lack of power but it sounds as though portability is a specific concern…

    I really like the large icons as these will be great calls to action on touch devices - where the input method is far less precise than a mouse cursor. I also dig the graphic used to label the search input for purely visual reason. The gradients cou…

  • scroll to element

    You could give whatever element holds the event description a unique id and attach this to the href of the links. That way, when the event link is clicked, the browser will automatically jump to whatever element it links to.

  • Separate post formats in WordPress

    Although I'll have time to write a more detailed post later - with some example code - the quick answer is that you will need to run a custom loop to get only links as the default only outputs posts. In order to do this, there are several route…

  • Contact Post not displaying information

    I'm also with @traq on this one, but, even if you were going to go the JavaScript link route, it'd probably be best in a seperate file (not straight in the markup). @WindberTSA: is this solved for you now then?
