Is there a widget or plugin that will allow a Featured post in the header? It's for a custom theme I'm creating. Here's what it looks like.

If you're handy with CSS, I don't see why not. Some plugins offer more id and class hooks for styling than others, so you may have to try a few before you settle on one that suits your needs.

Posted 1 year ago #Have you used any to recommend that have more ids and classes? Client/designer want it to look exactly like this (the gray bg, white font, white border and blue titles). Seems like I should be able to create my own classes/ids?

Sorry - I've tended to use my own code rather than a plugin for this sort of thing.

Posted 1 year ago #If one of these plugins doesn't work easily, I may want to ask you about coding (for hire) or purchasing your code (if it makes sense). I know CSS/xhtml better than php. Would it be okay to email you about that?
Also.....any idea if there is a widget or plugin that will allow you to add something to only one page? I'm pretty sure I've seen it but can't remember what it is. I'm trying to remove Google AdSense from this site and just add it to the blog page.

Would it be okay to email you about that?
Sure - no problem. You can contact me via esmi at quirm dot net.

I don't know of any specific plugin but, again, I tend to immediately go for the coded route - which would mean a custom page template with a widget-capable area in it. Not as complicated as it sounds (you could copy your default page.php template to get you going, for a start).

Shoot...site already created so don't want to recreate it. It is a custom theme, I think.

You don't need to recreate a site just to add a custom page template. It's a complete add-on to be used as needed.

Posted 1 year ago #You know what I realized....the blog page is a category (Blogging Toward Bliss) so there's no way to make a custom sidebar for that is there?
-
Yes there is. You can use a category template instead.
