Man, I don’t wanna play a know-all guy tonight. But, I just can’t resist the temptation to share what I’ve got in mind. I’ll tell you my tiny experience preparing a website for my translation agency. They translation chief asked me to make a website for him a month or two ago. I am not a designer myself, and still worse, I’m just a CMS webmaster (hehehe…. okay, Eko, happy now? hahaha…). However, WordPress flashed into my mind at that time, and then I said “Yes, let’s see what I can do.”
Later, I after some peek at the cPanel, I saw that it has fantastico delux. So, following a friend’s direction, I directly installed the WordPress. Oh man, it’s WordPress 2.5, the latest version. Okay then, everythings gonna be better, thus I said to myself.
After selecting business themes, I decided to use a Rockinblue20. Satisfied with the look, I then started making pages, not posts. Everything is easier with WordPress 2.5. Then, after determining my first page as the home, I went into the file called header.php. I cut <li class=”page_item”><a href=”http://transbahasa.net”>Home</a></li> and then I paste it after <?php wp_list_pages(’title_li=&depth=1′); ?>. With this, I can move the link Home to behind other links to pages (or page titles). Since I wanted to use this link as a link to my blogposts, I then replaced the text home with blog and then I modified <a href=”http://transbahasa.net”> into <a href=”http://transbahasa.net/?p=””>. With this, I can have a link to my blogposts.
So, if you wanna see the result of my humble effort, :D, please click here.
