My two cents on Word Press / Customizing 'PressRow'

WordPress is pretty cool. It is pretty feature rich, and allows alot of customization. You can also install it on a site, and it is your blog. Similar to blogspot, but it has more features.

Anyways I was messing with the press row theme today, and I wanted to have a top menu where each page could be clicked on, and have the black background when it is clicked on.

to do so. I used some html/css trickery

like the following

<div id="page" class=<? wp_title('',true); ?>>



<div id="header">

<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

<div id="nav">

<ul>

<li><a class="blog" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">home</a></li>

<li><a class="Biography" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/biography/">biography</a></li>

<li><a class="Prosecuted" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/prosecuted-cases/">prosecuted cases</a></li>

<li><a class="Endorsements" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/endorsements/">endorsements</a></li>

<li><a class="Photo" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/photo-gallery/">photo gallery</a></li>

<li><a class="Get" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/get-involved/">get-involved</a></li>

<li><a class="Contact" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/contact/">contact</a></li>

</ul>

</div>


And wordpress will use the page name as the link, use the css of that page name, and you're all set. Also, be sure to edit your stylesheet too.
