Professional Grunge Free WP Theme

This is more of a “blank slate” theme of sorts to give you the flexibility to use it as desired. It’s got a more traditional style and color using Blues and Grays, but has a slight grunge edge by making use of some great textures. This is a WP 3.1 compatible theme that is widget ready, comes with the ability to use a horizontal and/or vertical menu using WordPress custom menus and full of extra flexibility.

Adding a Widgetized Sidebar to Your Header

The newest version of Artisteer already comes with a lot of widget spaces, but sometimes you want even a little more flexibility. This post is designed to show you how you can easily add a sidebar area within your header although the same principles can be applied to add a sidebar anywhere within your site. It’s a great place to ad social icons, advertisements, or a slider that you can easily edit and adjust in the future through the use of simple widgets. You can also just simply use it to place a different header image into the header space whenever you want to. Tip: use a plugin like Widget Logic to be able to choose which which widgets display on which pages, posts, or categories and you can easily have your own image or slider per page! Ok, on to the steps. Continue reading

After discussing her needs, we were able to get her blog and feeds moved from the Blogger Platform over to the more powerful WordPress Platform as well as come up with a completely customized and professional logo and theme design.

Hide Category Titles in Artisteer 3 Themes

I actually like the way that Artisteer gives you the options to feature the category title along with your category description in the upper left hand corner of the sheet. However, not everyone wants that title to appear and some… Continue reading

How to Add a Button Class to a Text Widget

I frequently answer questions on the Artisteer WordPress Forum, and this was a recent question that popped up. Most Artisteer users have specifically styled a nice button, but don’t know how to add it to a widget or any other part of their site for that matter. It’s actually quite simple to do, and once you realize how, a whole lot of other styling possibilities will open up for you. So, here are the simple steps. Continue reading
