I found a useful link from DesignBump with a list of cheat-sheets for WordPress. Some of the cheat-sheets are new to me but others I use and have been an asset for creating my personal blog theme. I’m new to WordPress but it’s not so hard to grasp and with these resources it’s even easier. One resource that should be included in the list is “Huge Compilation of WordPress Code” from WP Hacks. Very useful with a wealth of information.

I intend on doing some tweaking to get a more desirable layout and I want to incorporate each image in my portfolio as it’s own separate blog item.

CODA ROCKS!
Posted in: Blog
To do all my coding I use Panic’s CODA. It’s an awesome, lightweight piece of software that makes Adobe Dreamweaver look like the fat ugly step-child of web-development software. It has some helpfull plug-ins that are easy to install, clips of commonly used code that make a developers life a little easier, and a books section that can assist even noobs like myself. In the past 2 weeks I’ve learned the in’s-and-outs of the software and have fallen in love. If you’re using Adobe Dreamweaver, I suggest downloading the demo of CODA. There’s a ton of online resources dedicated to CODA and you’ll soon realize that it’s an amazing piece of software. -

My new redesign of ocydesign.com has been in the works for a long time. Moving to Tampa, Fl, without a job had finally given me the amount of time I needed to redesign the site. I have wanted to use wordpress as a CMS for a long time and decided to tackle it with this redesign. At times it was frustrating but I’ve learned a lot through the whole process.Here’s a piece of advice if you’re thinking about creating themes for WordPress. Make sure to install WordPress locally on your machine. I’m using a Mac so I installed MAMP first, then created a database, then install WordPress. It has made a world of difference. Web Designer Wall has a great tutorial here.
