New Blog Theme
It’s been a while, but I’ve finally found a theme that I like. I’m using Lush 2. I love the colours. Fonts seem a bit small on Firefox, so I might be doing some tweaking over the next few days. That’s if I can find the time. I’ve got several big projects on the go right now.

Holy Fucking Matrimony
My buddy Fahrv is getting married this summer and has set up his wedding blog at HolyFuckingMatrimony.com. He had asked me a while back if I’d do up a Wordpress design based on the artwork they had commissioned for their invitations and I of course said I would. If you visit the blog you’ll see the design. It’s based on Wordpress’ default “Kubrick” layout but with a lot of graphical changes and only a few tweaks to the CSS.
I mention it here not only because I’m proud of my work, but also because I like saying (and typing) Holy Fucking Matrimony.
I’ve created a plugin for Wordpress that will change the header background of a page based on a custom field for the first post on that page. This was requested by my buddy Walter Costinak and you can see it in action on his blog (click on individual entry titles to see the header change).
If the first post on a page has no head_image custom field set the additional CSS line won’t be written and you’ll get the theme’s default image. The default settings are for the Benevolence theme/stylesheet but should be easy to modify to work with any style you’re using.
The source is available here. Copy this into a fresh headimage.php file, and make changes to the two defined variables if needed. Then upload it in your wp-content/plugins directory and activate the plugin.
Upload a header image into your /images directory (or whichever directory you’ve defined if you changed the variable) and then add a custom field to your entry with the key “head_image” and the value being the name of the header image file.
Update: I’ve updated the plugin to version 1.0 and it now works with Wordpress 2.1!
