   I've built a couple WP themes using the standard column layouts. One column for content, another for the sidebar... or putting the nav at the top of the page...

   I keep searching for a way to do something a bit different, but the best search terms I can think of lead me to other things.

   I use WP as a CMS and I want to be able to have a user edit multiple parts of the page. For example, let's say I have Box 1 and Box 2. Box 1 is essentially the loop. Page content goes there.

   In Box 2, however, I want a separate section where I can insert a single image via the admin. This area is separated enough from the content of Box 1 that Box 2 can't get any of it's content from the Box 1 editor.

   Any idea how to do this?

   Thanks much.

   You could use the wp_postmeta database table to log the id of an uploaded image (much like a custom field). But in stead of using the custom fields interface, you could build your own that allows your user to click on an image to select it. Although I have never seen this kind of thing in the flesh before, I have been thinking about building it as recently as last night. Don't know when I'll get around to it though :)

   If you find a ready -mase solution, please post it here.

   Good luck!
