Sure, it’s rich in graphics, but it loads up quick on my cable modem. Being a site primarily for photos I see the need for all the graphics. It’s like a rock band site, you don’t want a rock band site to look like Kubrick. Sure it’ll load faster, but the folks visiting are looking for eye candy. Your site has lots of eye candy, and I mean that in the best way possible. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Almost Done, Comments ?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/almost-done-comments/) * [dividespace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dividespace/) * (@dividespace) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/almost-done-comments/#post-139306) * Definately dig the design. Nice graphic work. I’m not one for dropshadows but the photos do look good sitting there. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [a heavily modified WP site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-heavily-modified-wp-site/) * Thread Starter [dividespace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dividespace/) * (@dividespace) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-heavily-modified-wp-site/page/2/#post-111156) * OK, I finally found a little time to devote to answering the how I did the categories on my [http://vitw.org](http://vitw.org) site. Sorry for the delay. I had to deal with the Iraqi elections and such and have been extremely busy developing new things. * First a word of caution. I did the following changes and additions to my site using wordpress 1.3 alpha and I haven’t tried to upgrade to 1.5 alpha yet so I’m not sure that what changes I made will transfer over to 1.5 without any problems. When I do make the upgrade I’ll let you know how it goes. * Here are links to the places that helped me get categories going the way I wanted them on my site. * 1.) WordPress Modifications, Creating separate category and individual files [http://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/2004/07/07/wordpress-modifications/2/](http://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/2004/07/07/wordpress-modifications/2/) * 1a.)Also, FYI, Burningbird’s Making the Move from Movable Type to WordPress at [http://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/2004/04/14/making-the-move-from-movable-type-to-wordpress/1/](http://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/2004/04/14/making-the-move-from-movable-type-to-wordpress/1/) was invaluable to me since I was making that very move. * What i did for anyone to look at is I made an example page that displays 3 recent posts from 2 differect categories, and then shows the main category I wanted shown. * Visit [http://vitw.org/libraryWordPress.php](http://vitw.org/libraryWordPress.php)– This is the example page that I notated. On that page I’ve included links to the code. * Also see, [http://vitw.org/libraryWordPress.phps](http://vitw.org/libraryWordPress.phps)– This is the example page code. * The original page that the Example above is based in is located at [http://vitw.org/library/](http://vitw.org/library/) * Anyway, take a look and let me know if this helps, or if anyone needs to view another file that I haven’t linked and included in the example page above just let me know and I’ll post it. * Thanks everyone, Scott * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [a heavily modified WP site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-heavily-modified-wp-site/) * Thread Starter [dividespace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dividespace/) * (@dividespace) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-heavily-modified-wp-site/page/2/#post-111141) * MaThIbUs, ah the first one to notice the use of Fitt’s Law.

This is what I have at the start of the page for the Military Corporate Complex page ([http://vitw.org/mic/](http://vitw.org/mic/)) which implements multiple categories (Corporate Rule, Military Corporate Complex, and Counter Recruitment) to show on that page * ` * Hope that’s what you are looking for. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [a heavily modified WP site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-heavily-modified-wp-site/) * Thread Starter [dividespace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dividespace/) * (@dividespace) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-heavily-modified-wp-site/page/2/#post-111139) * Lorelle and all, Sorry to say but this is a very busy work week for me. I’ve started a small tutorial for the category trick, which isn’t a trick but did take me a long time to to figure out and implement.

Dr J, No it’s standard in 1.3, but I think it’s in 1.2 also, almost positive. In your entry, put the < !– more— > tag where you’d like it to cut off. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [a heavily modified WP site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-heavily-modified-wp-site/) * Thread Starter [dividespace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dividespace/) * (@dividespace) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-heavily-modified-wp-site/#post-111025) * Hi Iraq, I created the header with photoshop. You can use other programs similar to photoshop, like inkscape ([http://www.inkscape.org/](http://www.inkscape.org/)) or if you use linux you can try the Gimp. The are both free. My friend, Safaa, translated the “Voices in the Wilderness” into arabic, and then we scanned the writing and I used photoshop to smooth it out. I found a map of Iraq, then cut out the center. I have thousands of photos from Iraq from photojournalists and ordinary people that have gone to Iraq as delegates with Voices (starting in 1996 and through the current occupation) Then I set up a small php script to rotate the header so that each time you come to the site 1 of 10 images is shown randomly. Hope that answers your question. What’s your blog address? Where in Iraq do you live? * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [New Design, Critique wanted.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-design-critique-wanted/) * [dividespace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dividespace/) * (@dividespace) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-design-critique-wanted/#post-110972) * Cool, clean and grey. Nice design! I personally like the different sized header. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [a heavily modified WP site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-heavily-modified-wp-site/) * Thread Starter [dividespace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dividespace/) * (@dividespace) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-heavily-modified-wp-site/#post-110885) * Thanks for the comments. It’s been a long time getting familar with WP and converting the movabletype over, not to mention the redesign, plus the other part of the job, getting articles, writers, interviews, video, etc. And also making it validate and the all css layout was a chore, but a great learning experience. I do agree about the center column being too thin. It was difficult getting all the info on that page without the clutter and also keeping the people working with projects for us happy with their “spot”. Plus it’s not done just yet. I’ll take the clunkyload time into consideration when I get a chance. Thanks everyone. WP rocks. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Moved to WP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-to-wp/) * [dividespace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dividespace/) * (@dividespace) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-to-wp/#post-110117) * Good designing skills.

I learned a bit from starting a design with kubrick, but I think it’s too standardized to use. Just my personal opinion though.
