Web Developer Extention

Posted on May 27, 2005 | Filed Under Web

Wordpress Sidebar Images Hack

Posted on May 23, 2005 | Filed Under WordPress

In my current theme (a mod of a mod of Kubrick which is becoming less of a mod and taking on a life of its 0wn), I wanted to change the headers in the sidebar to images. This was because I wanted to make use of a typewriter font so the headers would look like this:

I wanted these headers to be specific only to this theme so that I could still easily and fully switch themes. In doing this, I ran into a couple of small, but interesting “snags” that caused me to have to …
