Host Gator Windows Dedicated Server Special Offer

Running your websites on a shared hosting is definitely a good start. But if you already manage to boost that traffic, and thus raising a good amount of resources on demand towards your web server – then you probably need to upgrade your hosting plan. I surely don’t want to loose my visitor, nor do I fond for giving them with “Bandwidth Limit Exceeded” message.

The best way to handle this is by having a Dedicated Server. With Dedicated Server, you  will have an entire server not shared with anyone. You will also have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, Anti Virus, Load Balancing, etc.

This is a simple way to show, which hosting plans is greater than the other:

Dedicated > Reseller > Shared > Free

Create WordPress Post Thumbnail

So you’re wondering how everybody has that thumbnail for all of their posts in their blog’s homepage?

Well, if you’re using WordPress 2.9 (or above) then this will be a simple work for your theme. Otherwise, you would be doing extra work in preparing your theme (by means of using custom field feature).

Two things that you will be working on, are:

1. Your functions.php
2. Your corresponding theme file (for instance: the index.php)

functions.php

There are two things that you can define in your theme’s functions.php file. First is the function activation line:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

That line will enable Post Thumbnail User Interface (inside your dashboard) for both Post and Page content types. From now on, you can see an entry field – usually on the right side of your posting screen – for “Featured Image” selection.

Now the second thing is the dimension of your thumbnails

set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50 );

You have two options here: box-resizing and hard-cropping. Box resizing shrinks an image proportionally (that is, without distorting it), until it fits inside the “box” you’ve specified with your width and height parameters. For example, a 100×50 image in a 50×50 box would be resized to 50×25. The benefit here is that the entire image shows. The downside is that the image produced isn’t always the same size. Sometimes it will be width-limited, and sometimes it will be height-limited. If you’d like to limit images to a certain width, but don’t care how tall they are, you can specify your width and then specify a height of 9999 or something ridiculously large that will never be hit.
