Alaska Brain Injury Network WordPress Build

Conditionality: Imposing, depending on, or containing a condition. If this, then that. It’s fitting that the client on this project is in neurological health, because this custom wordpress template is making decisions on every page load. The design is by Billy Finley of Couloir Graphics; it’s a WordPress site.

The content "buckets" on the bottom left are driven by custom fields and featured images from three designated pages.

Is this is a generic page? If so, let’s show all the sibling and/or child pages in the sidebar:

Note also that the active link is purple for this page. Each page has it's own mini color theme.

Is this is a search results page? If so, let’s show recent posts in the sidebar:

Custom WordPress Theme

The search page shows recent posts by month in the sidebar widget.

What’s the value of this random number? I created a function to call from a pool of qoutes, based on the value of a random number, on each page load.

I created a php array of quotes, drawing a quote based on the value of a random number.

And are there any documents attached to this page? If so, let’s present them in a list with some icons:

If the post has any attachments, I display them as a list with a small icon depending on MIME type.

Betsy Barnum’s Reverie Studio

CSS and Wordpress for Artistic Portfolio

I love working with artists. It frees up the poorly developed right hemisphere of my brain so that I can devote 100% of my computational power to the CSS and server-side code. Betsy Barnum, in addition to being a personal friend, is the most talented painter I have ever worked with. more

AER Adventures is a new tour operator here in Alaska, with operations also in the lower 48. They already had a great design on the wordpress platform when they approached me for some work; they just needed me to fix some layout bugs and integrate a few more features. more

The local chapter of the UTU 1626, of which I am a member, is currently using my platform for it’s blog. My blogging platform doesn’t come close to surpassing wordpress in any area, other than perhaps download size, but there are some solid design elements on the UTU site that I would like to point out. more

Dehydrated

The Backcountry Skiing and Photography of Scott Fennell

I’ve been taking ski photos for the past five or six years. In fact, sharing ski photos with partners was the thing that first got me interested in learning more about building websites. I built Dehydrated, from scratch, as a database for all of my photos. more

Coupon Code plugin for WordPress

Coupon Code Plugin

Add, view, edit, export, delete. That’s the life-cycle for data in most applications, and most applications come equipped with a set of tools to manage that life-cycle. But what about scalability? What about dealing with thousands of pieces of data at once? A recent client, ShockingGoat.com, ran into a problem with this. They plan on selling thousands of watches in an upcoming Groupon campaign, but they needed a way to generate thousands of coupon codes in the correct format. I wrote them a wordpress plugin for this task. It’s largely based on the WP E-Commerce coupon system, but it’s more robust and works even if you don’t have WP E-Commerce installed. more
