A lot of improvements. I’m looking forward to all of the new theming features, especially being able to create templates called category-portfolio.php instead of resorting to category-{id}.php

Clearing Floats With WordPress
Using a “float” in a web design is fairly common these days; it is used to float images for wrapping text, as well as being one of the easier, standard-compliant methods to achieve columns. For example, if you want to have a content column, with a sidebar column floating to the right, you would probably have something similar to this (example after the jump):

I’m not going to lie: lately I’ve been on quite the WordPress-kick. I love being able to create a design, cut it up into HTML-ready chunks, and then use a standard WordPress template to get it into production and on the web ASAP! Generally, my workflow looks like this:
- Create the design
- Cut it up for a web layout
- Create a sample web layout and test across browsers
- Cut the HTML up into a standard WordPress template
- FTP the design to a WordPress install (into the wp-content/themes directory)
WordPress for iPhone
The WordPress for iPhone app is great! So far I’ve enjoyed using it with a couple of new blogs that I have setup (including my own). Having the ability to blog while on the to will help a lot with me actualy trying to get content on the web.
A few of the features I really like:
- landscape mode: it’s a lot easier to type long lengths of text with the iPhone landscape keyboard
- support for drafts (local and server based), this makes it very easy to start writing a post on my iPhone, then finishing it up on my desktop/laptop (I did that with this post)
- photo uploading; it’s very easy to select photos and upload them along with a post. This will be very beneficial come next school year – I’ll be able to take pics at GAA events and post them instantly with a write-up of the event
Using this in combination with my desktop should make me quite the productive writer.
