WPCult

On this site I use the Comment Validation plugin from Jörn Zaefferer.

You can find out more about this plugin at the WordPress directory.

Hey, where you able to tell what need to be fixed? Well lets take a closer look.

In WordPress, when you use wp_page_menu your anchor attribute’s usually carry a title with the same name. I’m not sure if it’s correct to do this, but it bother me when I hover over a page menu navigation link and I get a hover of the title.

You should head over the the newly redesigned site of Matt Mullenweg, the inventor of WordPress! His site is all new for the Spring season, and he has been tounting many of us with quick screen shots at WordCamp Las Vegas & WordCamp Denver. But finally, and I guess a little delayed, the new theme has launched.

I like it! What do you think?

So I have been really busy, and haven’t been able to put up a new post since I got back from WordCamp Denver.

I have finished about 80% of the theme which is based off my current theme located on my personal blog site: TheFrosty. TheFrosty is using version 0.1 of the theme, which has many faults and bugs. I have fixed many of them, and probably added a few others.

In version 0.2 I’ve

Over the weekend, I attended WordCamp Denver, and I was asked by John Hawkins how to force links to open in a new tab with out editing the source code. So, today lets learn a simple jQuery trick to open all external links in your site in a new tab or window.

Well hello to everyone, hope you are going to have a great weekend! I am heading to Denver Colorado tonight for the first WordCamp. I have decided to help out some here a bit, and I will be using my web cam to broadcast live inside the Denver Art Museum. Plus I am video recording with my HDD camera, so that someone can put all the video together in the end and publish it to WordPress TV

Morning Update:

Looks like there is not a

Hey everyone, as you may have noticed I have a running on the site. While everything almost everything moved over smoothly, there was an issue with how my parent theme striped text in typography. This caused some plugins, like cformsII to not be allowed to print to the screen. Justin had helped to find a fix to filter the hybrid_typography function.

Originally this function filtered out and changed some text that would not validate as XHTML. This had to be removed by

Well, I spent the last 6 hours updating the new theme into the site. Please let me know what you think. There will still be a few more updates, so please be patient.

I have been really busy on putting together a custom theme for this site. And while I do love WooThemes’s THiCK Theme by Matt Brett, I feel that a custom theme suited to the sites needs would fit better.

Things to expect to come the WPCult:

1. A new custom theme built on Justin Tadlocks, Hybrid Theme.
2. A forum.
3. New Advertisement locations and application, with really cheap & low prices.

I hope you are as exited as

This is where your new comments are pulled from when you have the threaded comments enabled.

Now just find <?php echo
