let’s see if i can blog

We started JDM project sometime February of 2009. The project is not much of a challenge since i was only asked to make a very simple layout. Below is the approved design:

Later in the process, i was asked if it was possible for the client to update the contents. THAT posed a problem. Initially, i thought of SSI but later thought that may not work considering the client has no knowledge of html. Here is where i thought of WordPress.

If you have been reading my previous posts, i began creating a simple theme just to see if i can do such [read more]. Fortunately, i can! yay!

Now the process began and things was simple until i came to the left sidebar. It was a little difficult for me, with no php knowledge. Browsing to WordPress’ Template Tags took me nowhere. I also tried WP-dTree and result to a bug on WP running on 2.8. Darn! it looked nice but…. Anyways, i found another option, Posts By Category by Frucomerci.

This is a simple but very effective plugin and needs very little tweak. The image below shows how the unmodified plugin looks like in my template:

With a few twists and turns and a couple more paracetamols, i arrived with this.
