When designing Anderson Web Solutions, I decided to use Posts for both news items and Portfolio entries. There were several advantages to doing this, but one issue I found was that everything was being thrown together in the RSS feed. I decided to look into filtering the RSS feed to only show posts from the News category. Here’s how it works.
WPWebHost is a web hosting company that specializes in WordPress web sites. They are hosting a WordPress design contest with five categories: Clean&Minimalist, Retro&Vintage, Grunge, Hand-Drawing, and Modern&Elegent.
I’ve decided to enter the contest in the Retro&Vintage category. Why did I decide to enter? My design certainly isn’t the most beautiful out there, so I’m not “expecting” to win, but this might give me a chance to get some constructive critisism about design choices I’ve made. Besides, it can’t hurt, and there’s a prize 
Do you have a WordPress blog that you’ve designed? Enter it in the contest.
Good Luck!
Anyone who’s installed WordPress knows that the default theme has the “powered by WordPress” link in the footer. I’ve added a couple of other items to my footer besides just WordPress, and I’ve been noticing that other people have done the same thing. Ma.tt is powered by ramen noodles, WP Tavern is powered by Mt. Dew. I’m personally powered by Dr. Pepper. Have you added an interesting “powered by” item to your footer, or seen sites that do? What’s the most interesting or entertaining one you’ve seen?
I’ve been working for quite a while on a top secret project, namely Anderson Web Solutions. I’ve been doing various WordPress development jobs for the past year, but haven’t had a site specifically designed to profile my work or gather new clients… until now.
