This WordPress SubHeading Plugin uses a custom field to allow sub titles/headings to be added to both posts and pages. The custom subheading field is re-positioned so it is directly below the main title when editing. Adding a subheading to your page or post can be quite helpful for users on fordoing I have added them to the page template. Each sub heading gives the user a little more information about what the page is about.

By default subheadings are also appended to RSS feeds and the admin edit post/page lists.

For you who love to create your sites in WordPress, @36Flavours has created this skeleton WordPress theme for you. This WordPress skeleton theme will save you time and effort when writing a theme from scratch. It includes all the basic functionality and minimal amount of files to get you up and running.

Is WordPress the best blog/content management system available? I think so, and in 2009 the Open Source CMS Awards thought so too! Smaller portfolio sites and design sites like SixCrayons to HUGELY popular sites like Spotify are all built in WordPress! Below are a few examples of sites using WordPress.

Twitter has an incredibly sparse user interface. This makes it really easy to use but doesn’t allow a lot of personal information to be shown. Creating your own Twitter background helps make your Twitter profile more personal. You can use the space for content about yourself your business or you can just chuck a giant ugly picture of yourself in there, sorta like I have. :S

Be creative with your background you have to look at your background all the time so make sure you like it. The template sizes within the PSD I have attached for you to download are:

1024 x 768  |  1280 x 1024  |  1680 x 1050  |  1920 x 1200

As I work on a lot of sites/forums/email templates that use ads I am always showing clients how different sized ads will look within the layout of their websites. This PSD will hopefully act as a good guide for banner ad sizes you can place within your designs.

Below you can see a preview of the banner ad sizes PSD. Once you have downloaded the PSD you can drag and drop each ad size onto you design easily.

Web page template with 960 grid system

I pretty much use this PSD on a day to day basis as my starting point to designing web pages.

The PSD has the 12 and 16 bar 960 grid system. Even if you don’t like using the 960 Grid system you will find this template useful. Guidelines mark out your 940, 960, and the 1024 pixel lines. If you can’t see any Guidelines turn them on by pressing CTRL ‘H’ (pc) or CMD ‘H’ (mac). Using this as a default base will hopefully give you a starting point for your web designs in Photoshop.

On each of my PSD’s I will release this week you will see I have one white layer above all other layers. Saving a PSD out like this reduces its size by up to 20%. Just a little handy tip if you are struggling to reduce your PSD size.

The PSD’s dynamics are – Width: 1100px Height: 960px
