Hey There, GREAT site, excellent tutorials.
I use WordPress every day, so reading your stuff on this post is just a big help for me.. Also I have been looking for sites like this for some time now, and i find that most of the ones i find is not as serious as yours.
So tank you a lot..

Best Regards

I have been using Wordpress for a few months now. I’m diligently trying to learn all I can. I really appreciate it when I come across information such as you’ve presented here. I’m going to study your “How to create your own WP theme”. I don’t necessarily want to create my own theme, I just want a better understanding of what I’m looking at when I try to edit. Thanks for the help.

Thanks,
Susan

I’m sorry, I don’t currently have time to give you a direct solution, but if you learn the code it’s certainly doable. Google the codex for solutions.

Hi,
thanks for this excellent tutorial. I have been here 5 minutes and already learned a ton of stuff.

I have a question. Using the pressplay theme, each post has a (i don;t know what to call it)…banner? header?…anyway, it’s the thing above the post that contains the category, the byline, and the date. I would like to exclude CERTAIN categories from showing up there, but absolutely cannot figure out how to do this. I know the category id numbers (thanks to this tutorial) but don’t know what I am hoping is simple code, and also where to put this code. Any ideas?
I’m sure I’ll be back with more questions…no matter how nice it is ‘out-of-the-box’ it seems there is always something to change….
Thanks in advance,
Debbie

It’s great to see your series of posts -well after you started, though it’s what I’ve been looking for and, as you pointed out, its hard to find decent tutorials for WP newbies.

I’m considering switching from MT to WP after over two years of using that CMS… mainly because I find so many features and plugins for WP that are not available to those without enought time or skills to hack it. Would you recommend it or what do you think?

Regards.

@jj-momscashblog – I took the dates out of my permalinks and the meta of my posts a long time ago. I don’t have much use for dates on this blog, as I figure most of my posts should be good for years…

Hey JT, As usual you seem to really deliver a well thought out post with excellent advice and real help that people need, whether a newbie or blogging for awhile it’s all very useful. Thanks P.S. One question why are there never any dates on your posts, I’ve noticed here that the dates are in the comments but I can’t find them for each post. Or am I missing something, like where’s Waldo? lol
Great post and many thanks
