Word Press Roles and Capabilities Published on March 5, 2010
There are pre determined admin-roles in every word press installation.
This means every registered user can have a specific role, with specific capabilities within the blog.
This capabilities, relate to access levels, and are granted by the blog’s administrators.
This doesn’t mean that a user can’t perform someone-else’s task, it just means it will only be able to do a determined number of tasks, allowed by his user level.
“Every user with an access level can do everything his access level allows, plus all the capabilities of the user levels bellow.”
The Word Press roles and Capabilities hierarchy will be described in this article, along with the allowed admin-tasks for each level or role.
Inserting a widget in-between posts Published on February 25, 2010
Sometimes you need to insert advertising banners, images, widgets or any sort of “gizmo” between you posts, archives or category listings.
Let’s say you need to add a flash banner between the 1st and the 2nd posts, or insert a currency calculator after the 3rd post of your page. Anything goes as long as it goes inside a widget.
To do so you’ll need your theme to be custom coded. This tutorial is about achieving that.

“Checking your WordPress Blog on your mobile phone can be bit of a pain if your Smartphone is on the Android platform.

Last night I was looking through the Android Market and saw the WordPress Logo as a featured application.”

Acessibility: The back button. Published on January 21, 2010
Script and noscript tags. Case study 2 – The back button
A client once asked me to add a back button on the end of every post to get back to the corresponding category listings.
The fist thought that occurs is to use JavaScript and the classic history navigation:
href=”javascript:history.back();”
There’s nothing wrong here, it works pretty fine, except if you want to keep your site accessible…
Word Press Accessibility: The noscript attribute. Published on January 20, 2010
Word Press Accessibility: The <noscript> attribute.
The basic rules of accessibility state that you should always provide alternative content to users no able to access it, if you rely only on scripts to deploy it.
No one should be left out, and all users are entitled to have a similar “rich browsing experience” regardless of their personal physical challenges.
With this article I intend to bring your Word Press websites a bit closer to what I state in the previous paragraph that sometimes, to some people seems like a utopia.
Let’s get our hands dirty with code!
