Digging Into WordPress - the book!

Two of my favorite web designers with super helpful blogs, Chris Coyier of CSS Tricks and Jeff Starr of Perishable Press, have just released their new collaboration! The book, "Digging Into WordPress," is now available as a PDF download, and if you buy the PDF book now, you will be eligible for a "sweet discount" on the hard copy of the book when it comes out, plus receive updates free.\n\nThey've done a great job on this book, which covers setting up WordPress, anatomy of a WordPress theme, theme design and development, extending functionality including using WordPress as a CMS, working with RSS feeds, SEO, dealing with comments, and keeping your site "healthy." I already followed both of these designers before they began their collaboration, and have found countless useful tutorials, code snippets, design ideas, and much more on both of their sites - I've relied on Perishable Press as a source for great unobtrusive javascript code, and on CSS-Tricks for all kinds of other useful tools for making valid, functional, and beautiful sites.\n\nThis book is bound to be a valuable reference to anyone who works with WordPress.

JungleJar | Looking at Wordpress Custom Fields and Images Further

This is interesting - I am not sure why you'd do this instead of just inserting an image directly into the post - maybe if you wanted to display an author's avatar on multiple author blogs?

New Screencast: Building a Website (3 of 3): WordPress Theme | CSS-Tricks

Third part of building a website screencast - taking html and css and converting it to a WordPress theme.

" In part 3 of this series, we take the HTML and CSS that we have already created for this design, and convert it into a WordPress theme. We start with a completely “blank” WordPress theme, then take different parts of the HTML and put them where they need to be in the theme. We are careful to keep as much dynamic WordPress stuff in there as possible, for example, dynamically creating the menu, loading jQuery the smart way, and more."

Is it possible to have more than one Post Page? - Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA

I want to have an events page, where clients can post events, and a news page... I'm realizing the way to do this is through categories, and there are some plugins and techniques discussed in this forum that sound helpful.
