Very cool site qda ... now you just have to get them to update the website that the bottom links (dock, dine, play) take you to ... what a shock compared to the golf one!

Nice, clean site Kal. Let me know if anyone points you to a plugin or fix for the date issue, I would be interested in auto swapping headers based on date also.

I don't know PHP but it would seem like you could put a code like

<?php $d=date("D"); if ($d=="Fri") echo "Have a nice weekend!"; else   echo "Have a nice day!"; ?>

in the ATO>Style & Edit HEADER AREA>Configure Header Area replacing the date with single or multiple dates if that is possible and instead of the first echo statement put the code for showing the header image for that date and the else would show the default header.

Anyone out there up for the task? Am I off base on this?

Thanks! Atahualpa rocks!

I'm hoping some really smart person picks up on the swapping header image based on date challenge...

That's why I like Atahualpa, because I don't know php code, but can figure out HTML and CSS ... your post above is like Greek to me. I just don't get php and whenever I mess with it, I break my website

But if someone can figure it out and can post the actual code itself, I might be adventurous and try.

I'm still not done tweaking, but my site is www.pinkyhasabrain.com.

When I started designing my site a year ago, I had no experience what-so-ever in setting up a blog. I was also clueless about using WordPress. Using this theme has made my experience all the more easier.

I am very impressed with your design pinkaboo202...nicely done!

Thanks a lot!

Very nice pinkaboo202. I love the color scheme! Pink can be hard to pull off in a design but you've used it very well.
Congrats on a great design job!

Really nice!

I love Atuhualpa. I am building sites with it (maybe 10 so far) and expect to do more. I came to Showing Off for isnpration and I'm getting plenty. I'm seeing things I did not realize were possible and plugins I didn't realize exist. I'll put a few of my links below.

But I am seeing something that I thinks needs to be considered. If you expect that you will be the only one who will ever see your web site, go ahead and build it for whatever screen width you like.

But if you want 80% of all laptop users to see it without an annoying left-to-right scrolling, keep in mind that currently all 80% of all laptops are set for 1024px. I suspect that if you were to limit the survey to notebooks it might be even more at that setting. That means, either set your theme for something less, or set it for a flexible width.

Then check what it looks like by changing your display screen res to 1024.

BTW - these forums are set too wide for my Fujistu laptop which is set for 800px wide - otherwise the characters are too small for me. That means I only come here when I'm on my desktop. These forums would be more welcoming to me and others with a similar situation isf they were set for a flexible width. I don't see the point of wide screens. You can't read lines that are that wide anywhere near as fast as when they are narrower. Legibility studies confirm over and over that onscreen text wider than 70 char gets more and more difficult, inversely, to read as line width goes up.



Here's a few of my own personal sites. None are very special. Pretty straight forward default, with only a bit of tweaking. All are being tinkered with a few mins at a time. So, each is in flux and will change as I find time. I'm not showing any of the commercial sites.

I am pretty computer illiterate and have never designed anything before- That being said- this theme is awesome and although it's taken a lot of trial and error figuring out what stuff is related to what- think I've sort of got my site where i want it. (for the time being).

I either wanted super cool and colorful with lots of cool crap or very simple. Since it'd be way too involved for me to try anything spectacular and I'd probably end up throwing my computer out the window, I went with very simple.....

Let me know what you think- I need some unbiased opinions. I believe my parents and my husband will tell me they like it not matter what. I'm pretty much open to any suggestions that I actually have the ability to institute.

me too! You completely changed the theme, looks great.

My site isn't new, but I've tweaked it a bit lately. http://larchmontgazette.com.

We had too much in the left sidebar, making the front page too visually dense. So I moved the long list of recent post headlines to a new Page, Recent Headlines, using an archiving plugin. I got rid of the right inner sidebar and moved that content to the right sidebar. I moved the 170x170 ads to the left sidebar. I made the line-height of the text a bit bigger.

Overall, I think the front page looks more open. I also started using the DB Cache Reloaded plugin, which has reduced the queries from about 250 to about 25. I don't understand why that number varies from reload to reload, but at least it seems much faster now.

If you visit, I'd be glad to know what page load speed and number of queries you get, after a reload. The info is down in the footer.

Feedback appreciated!

I think the line height helped a lot. I does indeed look more open.

Paulae,

19 queries. 0.706 seconds.

I like the new style!

Rashell

Thanks, Larry and Rashell. Still tweaking...need a new logo!

I just finisched: http://www.viskerresultancy.nl/ with custom headers on every page! (my own WP plugin)

And also just ready: http://www.mexim.nl/

Cool to have different headers on different pages.
Have you put your plugin on WordPress repository?

Seeing some of these other sites always give me more ideas... Atahualpa allows us all to look a lot better! Thanks for the inspirations.

I've done three sites so far, prayersforkate.org, ellphotography.com and cmrmedia.com (still adding content). these three were just for friends who had very old static sites.

Another way you could accomplish the same result is to make the headers using new widget areas, and have the Widget Logic plugin control which header-new-widget areas were shown on which pages.

They all look great! I've been inspired. Not just by your work, but by Kate's story as well. What a beautiful girl.

If you don't mind, what font is that you're using on the navigation bar on ellphotography.com?
