I just finished my first WordPress theme for my cousin. It is ultra-minimalist. No comments, no titles, no dates, no times, no lines, no boxes, no colors… well check it out: yaminay.com. This theme is more for artists & portfolios.
I still need make some changes, like display full size images a little better. Maybe I will Ajax-ify it, so that whole page doesn’t refresh all the time. And need to display post/image numbers.
If you want to play with it, or use it, you are welcome to it. Here you go: yaminay wordpress theme.
This tutorial helped me with making this theme.
My friend asked me how to create pages in WordPress which are not shown in navigation menu. He basically wants a page which he can e-mail to friends but which is not visible to regular site visitors. The simplest solution I found was from Glen Scott.
Simplest solution is just add
wp_list_pages('exclude=1,2,3');
somewhere in the header.php. Where 1, 2 & 3 are the page numbers of hidden pages. For complete list of wp_list_pages parameters check: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages.
(Glen’s post has a few more options listed, I just wanted to add the simplest solution here.)
