A web developers blog

If you’re into creating WordPress themes for yourself, a client or even to sell the chances are you have thought about how you could improve your themes if they had an options page in the WordPress admin panel. This may seem a bit daunting to start with but it really doesn’t have to be, I’ve done a quick roundup of posts that show you how to create options panels in WordPress.

If you haven’t already come across it, Media Loot is a coming soon site that will allow you to subscribe for access to loads of icons and other web design resources instead of paying for every set you use.

This is a pretty old video I came across from the Carsonified Blog. But it does cover a lot of interesting things that I’d never thought of before.

I’d love to be able to update this site a lot more than I do however my day job and customers must come first! In the little free work time I’ve had over the past few months, I’ve managed to get most of my new portfolio website done which you can see if you go to GotWebsites.

Hopefully when I get back to having time to post here I’ll come back with loads of great ideas for articles.
