Create Different Menus with the Plugin “If Menu”
I discovered a new plug-in this past week while working with a client. They needed a website that had two distinct areas, but the same theme. They wanted each area to have its own main menu. At first, I thought it would make most sense to create a new menu area in the theme, then […]

My Favorite Thing in WordPress 3.5
So, WordPress 3.5 is been available for a few months now. Although many folks seem to be excited by the new Media Library layout, my favorite part is the addition of a “favorites” area for plug-ins.
