I’ve noticed in the forums, there are a lot of questions regarding the style sheet of the child theme not affecting the output. Their response is to use the theme options custom css. I don’t like to use it that much because it spits out the css on the page rather than keeping it in […]
Sometimes you just want to change something really simple, or at least, it used to be really really simple, back in the old days where you just plopped your html into a file, renamed it php with a few bits of code, and called it your header.

Having worked on a variety of websites for a wide variety of clients and businesses, I often run into the same problems again and again, when business owners are trying to build sites themselves, usually, rather than paying a professional.

I am attempting once again to use the GetShopped! gold cart for a shopping cart. This one is relatively simple because there are only two product types; cds and mp3 downloads. Simple. Right.
I just spent hours tracking down why the grid view wouldn’t align the images correctly in the second row. I finally noticed that […]
