Using Featured Content Gallery
We add the Featured Content Gallery to peoples themes now and then and have to explain to them that adding the code is the easy part. For every post displayed in the Gallery you need a nice, proper sized picture that you save in the WP media gallery. You Upload the picture, highlight and copy the url to that image to the clipboard. Then add a custom field to your post called “articleimg” and paste the url to your picture in. You need at least 2 posts set up to be displayed for the Featured Gallery to work. You can select a specific category for the display or specific posts by number. We usually go with a category and just assign those posts to that extra category. Then you can always remove that category from the post and it won’t display anymore. The configuration page for the plugin has many options that have to be set up such as picture size and display options. Also color selections of the data bar and text that gets displayed. It takes a little doing but when finally setup it can be used to give your blog or website a real magazine or news site look. It takes a little planning and photo editing skills beyond dropping the code into a page template.

This great plugin lets you have photo galleries and then display them in posts or pages. You can display a gallery of thumbnails or a slideshow. You can use the individual photos in posts and pages also. All your photos can be stored away in galleries and albums so they are ready for use on your site any time.

Artisteer issue with Block Images
The latest version (as of today anyway) has a small error in the generated template. An error in the css code. The bullet icon for the list items doesn’t show up. To fix it find the following styling rule in your style.css file. You can do this in WordPress using the theme files editor.
.art-BlockContent-body ul li
{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-decoration: none;
line-height: 125%;
line-height: 1.25em;
padding: 0px 0 0px 13px;
background-image: url(‘../images/BlockContentbullets.png’);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Change the image name from “BlockContentbullets.png” to “BlockContentBullets.png” (just change lowercase b in bullets to uppercase B) in the following line:
background-image: url(‘../images/BlockContentbullets.png’);
