One Theme, Different Headers
There are some WordPress Themes that come with different Header graphics and rotating headers or assignable headers by page or post. This functionality can be added to other themes also. There is a very handy plugin that works well for this called Dynamic Header by Nicasio Design & Development . It is also available in the WordPress Plugin area. There are a couple of steps to make this plugin work but its nothing that difficult. You need to make your header images first off. This means you have to open your graphics editor program of choice and create a couple of headers the same size as the one that is included in your theme.
After that, using FTP or file manager you have to create a new folder in your wp-content/plugins folder called /header-images and upload the new header files there. Upload your original header file there too if you want to use it. Install the plugin by uploading or through the WP dashboard and activate it. One more step. There is one string of code that you must copy and paste into your header.php file. Its usually placed right after the line that calls your original header graphic. There are more detailed instructions included. This plugin also supports flash headers.
Now in the page or post editor you will be able to select your header image of choice. Works well in Artisteer 2.4 themes.
PC Screen Capture
Sometimes you may want to grab an image that is on your computer screen. Like an image in a .pdf file or part of a web page. Maybe details or instructions. Do it using a “screen capture”. Hitting ” Alt – Print Screen ” will copy your active window to your clip board. Then open your favorite graphics editor, or MS Paint, and start a new document, pasting your copied screen image into it. Now you can crop out and save any piece of the image you want to keep.
Simple and very useful.
Resizing Pictures can take some time!
Unless you have PIXresizer.
I find my self using this software more and more to resize pictures. The ability to resize a whole folder full of large pictures is the big plus. So I let the camera take huge pictures and then I can create a whole new set ready for emailing or to use on the web. Works quite well and it’s fast.
This is how the author describes it…
PIXresizer is a tool for quickly generating screen-friendly versions of your images with dramatically reduced file sizes. It is a photo resizing program that enables you to quickly resize one file or a selection of image files for use on the web and in e-mail. The reduced files are saved in a different directory, so your original pictures are not changed.
The program offers several different resizing methods to choose from and can automatically recognize image sizes to calculate the best fit. PIXresizer includes a built-in image viewer and you can also convert between graphics formats: it opens and saves in .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .png, and .tif formats. A great companion for webmasters and digital photographers.
This is an excellent program to have around. Even if you only need it once and a while. It’s free and you can get it here…
