Icons, Menus, and Headway, Oh My!

AJ Morris — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 20:29:13 +0000

I was in the Headway forums the other day and had someone ask how to create ??a menu that contains icons. I gave him the basic,’well you need to use CSS and do this and that to get it to work,’ type answer, and I got back the general ‘well I don’t know CSS or what you’re talking about,’ answer. So I decided I would take 15 minutes or so and make a screencast showing you a very easy way to get some icons to the left of the navigation text.

This screencast runs about 19 minutes in length. I hope you enjoy!!

Using Permalinks in Development

Today’s screencast is #2 of my series about WordPress 3.0 and a local development environment. It’s all about getting Permalinks working on your local system. Of course this only applies to people using Mac OS X, but the same methods should apply. Watch the video below, or watch it in HD!

New WordPress Development Series

AJ Morris — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 18:44:48 +0000

I’m sponsoring a new WordPress screencast series about setting up your local development and some of the new 3.0 features. Over the next couple weeks, we’ll be taking a look at things like, setting up your development machine, using permalinks locally, TwentyTen and child themes, menu management, and much more. I encourage you to check out the series, pass it on to your friends. If you’re new to WordPress (Yes there are still some! ) let me know if you are having issues following along, and I’ll see what I can do to help. Any feedback on what I’m covering (or not covering) would be appreciated as well. If I’m missing something and enough people would like me to cover it, I’ll look at doing it.

And without further ado, here is the first video of the series.
