You Never Know | Fiction by Jeff Fitzgerald

You Never Know | Fiction by Jeff Fitzgerald

  JEFF FITZGERALD

The coming of Fall in Branscomb’s Mill, Virginia, meant many things to those of us who’d spent most of our lives nestled in the idyllic little town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It meant the return of our beloved high school football season, it meant the changing of the leaves that would soon turn the mountains that surrounded us into brilliant canvases of autumn finery,…

Love, With Gravy Even in the best of marriages, there come the inevitable periods of trial. For Essie and me, we seemed to be mostly immune to the little sorts of disagreements and disappointments that can mount up over time. The little drops of acid that can erode even the strongest relationships till one day you go from “they were made for each other” to “they seemed so happy. If…

When last we left our discussion of pizza, it had been thoroughly established that pizza is America’s favorite food and that the primary criteria that separates good pie from bad is love (established in Fitzgerald v. Boyardi, in which the Supreme Court voted 5-4 in favor of half pepperoni and half mushroom, with a side of Buffalo…

Wordpress Customization: Combining Design Interests to Reach a Goal-Blog post 3

       In BCIT’s Digital Design and Development program we create digital content or New Media across multiple platforms. Equally as unique as the projects we create are our goals and dreams for turning this content into something that can be appreciated and applied to a career. My dream would be to work for an electronic music industry leader such as Size Records or Toolroom Records creating artist websites and interactive apps. Alternatively I could create sites and apps on a freelance basis from my own studio for the music industry as a whole.  Having a place to display a portfolio as I develop my web development and design skills is essential and is why I chose to make my portfolio from wordpress where I can learn from templates and develop towards hard coding more customized sites.

    I found some interesting articles on Wordpress customization that will integrate my HTML and CSS knowledge with some new tricks.

   Presscoders provides a comprehensive step-by-step tutorial that in their words, “will allow you to customize any theme using the best practices in child themeing, with a little CSS and PHP magic”. I like this option because it goes through the entire process, including “rookie mistakes” and explanations that can teach you rather than just assuming you know how to implement customization.

 http://www.presscoders.com/wordpress-theme-customization-guide/

    Another solid option is the codex support section of the wordpress.org site itself. It essentially covers each individual element of pages with easy to find links describing the process.

  https://codex.wordpress.org/Site_Design_and_Layout

  I hope this helps anyone in the early stages of Wordpress customization like myself.
