If you’re using the Graphene theme for WordPress, you’ve probably realized how powerful it is, and how easy it is to customize. With the introduction of version 1.5, another even more powerful function was added: action hook widget areas.
First, let’s talk about what action hooks are. An action hook is simply a placeholder in …
This is a very basic introduction to the HTML language. The intended audience is people who know absolutely nothing about HTML.
Basics
HTML stands for “Hypertext Markup Language.” Hypertext refers to text that is hyperlinked—you can click on it to go other places. (Yawn—I know, right? But in the early days of the internet, this …

I have no idea what to do with it. Just put it on some stickers and then put them all over the place, maybe.

I see a question every now and then about using Windows Live Writer on the Graphene Forum, so I thought I would give it a try. I’m not satisfied with my admittedly hasty trial.
The main …
One question I often get about WordPress is how to create a list of links to all the posts in a given category. While the most obvious way is to just use the category archive, but this has limited options, and to exercise them, you either have to tear into your theme’s core files (meaning …

I am still incredibly bummed and depressed by the news of Steve Jobs’ passing. Yes, he was a visionary; yes, he was a genius; and yes, he was an iconoclast. What goes along with that is that he could be, and often was, difficult to get along with …
I am constantly recommending that people who are trying to tweak various elements on their WordPress blog use Firebug,* which will allow them to easily see the exactly the element in the code they are trying to change. Because I see a lot of questions about how to use it (as well as reluctance to …
A lot of you are following me at http://www.twitter.com/kjodle, which is cool. But that’s my “professional” account, where I mainly talk about teaching issues. I link to it over on my bookblog.
I now have a new Twitter account just for personal use. You can follow my feed here. Follow me and I’ll follow you …
One of the great things about WordPress is that you can add a text widget to any place on your blog that handles widgets. You can add just about any text or HTML you want, including bits of JavaScript and certain types of iframes. (One thing a text widget won’t handle is PHP. I don’t …

For some time, I’ve wanted to add the ability to change the font size of a selected portion of a post, as if I were adding a footnote. Wil Wheaton does this a lot and it’s kind of cool and very handy.
