New Plugin Makes For Custom Styles

September 10th, 2010 Comments off

StylesI found an interestingly nice plugin from WordPress that allows custom styles on a per-page basis.

This means that individual pages can have their own styles, and not just the ones set by the template.

The template is critical in ensuring your website has a congruent and predictable look and feel. Study after study has shown that visitors respond most favorably to sites that have a uniform style throughout its pages.

But sometimes a page or section of pages just needs their own style. Oh to be free! And this WordPress plugin allows the website administrator to assign custom styles to individual pages.

Very handy!

Volunteering At The VA Hospital

September 9th, 2010 Comments off

  The VA Hospital in Portland  I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I’m approved to volunteer at the VA Hospital here in Portland, OR. I went to speak to a very helpful woman at Volunteer Services this morning, and she described an opening working in the clinic area.

I’ll be there for a few hours every Saturday afternoon. I’ve not worked exclusively with vets before, so I’m really looking forward to this opportunity!

WordPressed This Website

September 8th, 2010 Comments off

  WordPress-ed this site  I just made my main portfolio site, chrisgates.net, a WordPress site.

People we asking about it since I’ve been doing a lot of WordPress. Makes sense that my main site is now WP.

I started off with the inove theme, and heavily modified it to suit my needs. It’s also what I used for my GatesWorks site.

Next, onto my new plugin!
