WordPress Tutorial: Simple Breadcrumb Navigation

I am currently working on some larger projects, and some of them are in desperate need of a breadcrumb navigation, since there are so many sub categories and pages, that users often have a hard time not to lose track of their current position on the site.

After searching the web for an adequate plugin, the only Breadcrumb navigation I could find was Breadcrumb NavXT. The plugin is basically the only one which supports nested pages as well as nested categories. It has a ton of options… to my mind there are way to many. After testing the plugin on a blank installation my Database query count went from 17 to 59 even if I was on the starting page where no breadcrumb navigation was displayed. So I decided to code a lightweight version for myself.

What you will learn here, are the basics of creating a simple breadcrumb navigation. This tutorial doesn’t offer a complete script, just some snippets to experiment with =)

Premium WordPress Theme: Aurora Borealis

Aurora Borealis is a WordPress Theme I created after experimenting with some tutorials at http://abduzeedo.com.
It uses a dark cholor scheme along with a colorful header, similar to the current version of kriesi.at, since people always tell me how much they like this combination ;)

The theme uses some of the code snippets I created for my WordPress Tutorials as well as for my jQuery tutorials.

Some of the features that are included:

PSD File for easy customization
Widget ready sidebar and footer
Valid HTML /CSS, along with Javascript that degrades gracefully if turned of
Multi Level CSS Drop Down Menu (improved with jQuery) for your pages
Smooth scrooling between anchor links (jQuery)
Extendable footer (jQuery)
Works in all major Browsers (IE6, IE7 , Safari, Firefox2, Firefox3, Opera, Google Chrome)
Demo Version here

WordPress: Display Content in multiple Columns

Recently I had to create a website which displays the content in 2 columns.

While CSS 3 is capable of doing this on its own with the new Grid Position Module, a lot of browsers do not support this functions yet, so I needed to add a little extra markup to the output which is generated via the_content() to get the following result:

WordPress: how to separate comments and trackbacks

Today I read an interesting article on NETTUTS which claims to unravel the Secrets of WordPress & Comments.php File. This is actually pretty true, the author did a good job at explaining the different functions, comment loops, and form elements.

The one thing I really missed was an explanation on how to separate comments from trackbacks. Discussing on a blog with tons of trackback posts between the ongoing discussion is really annoying.
