A Peel corner is something that gives a peel-sheet effect on the right hand top corner of your blog, that says “See Inside”.The peel corner can also be utilized as nice place to use as an private ads space which can be sold as the ad comes in the top fold.This can more efficiently be used for promoting affiliate links.

Here’s how you can achieve the Peel Corner

Download the Peel Script from here and extract it.
Open the PagePeel folder and edit the PagePeel.js file, where the line ‘Type your link here’ needs to be changed with the URL of your choice.
Create 2 image files, 1 small (75×75) and 1 big (500×500).
Upload the PagePeel folder to the root of your server.
Add this code after the <body> tag mostly found in the header.php ( In Wordpress )

<script src=”./pagepeel/PagePeel.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>

This peel script is part of the Free AdivorReadyPeel.

How To Install DomTabs On Wordpress »

Categories : Tips,Tricks and Hacks, Tutorials, WordPress, Wordpress Themes

Posted on Sunday, April 13, 2008 by Venkat |

Did you ever see tabs something like in the image below and wondering how they got that working.That can be done by using DomTab. It can save a lot of space in places like the sidebar.

What Is DomTab??

DOMtab is a JavaScript that turns a list of links connected to content sections into a tab interface. The script removes any “back to top” links in the section and automatically hides all but the first one when the page is loaded. You can use as many tabbed menus on the page as you want to.

How To Install DomTab On Wordpress

Download the script from the official site, and unzip it.
Upload the domtab.js file to your theme folder in WordPress.
Download pbd_domtab.css and upload that to the theme folder as well.
In header.php, paste the following above
</head>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php bloginfo(’template_directory’); ?>/domtab.js”>

</script> <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(’template_directory’); ?>/pbd_domtab.css” media=”screen” />
In sidebar.php, or in a widget, paste the following where you want the DOMtabs:

<div class=”domtab”>

<ul class=”domtabs”>

<li><a href=”#t1“>Tab 1</a></li>

<li><a href=”#t2″>Tab 2</a></li>

<li><a href=”#t3″>Tab 3</a></li>

</ul><div> <a name=”t1″ id=”t1“></a> <p>

Insert contents of the first tab here, e.g. The code for a plugin.</p> </div>

<div> <a name=”t2″ id=”t2“></a> <p>Insert contents of the second tab here.</p> </div>

<div> <a name=”t3″ id=”t3“></a> <p>Insert contents of the third tab here.</p> </div>

</div>

You can insert plugins with the php code in the tabs by simply calling the plugin.

For Example :

<li>

<?php function() ?>

<li>

All the five free wordpress themes are easily configurable and have the following features :

2. Easy Feedburner Integration : Comes with built-in support for Feedburner email subscription; just change the value “FEEDBURNERID” to your Feedburner ID in header.php (will be changed at two places)

The “Theme Options” section inside the WordPress control panel enables you to insert the Feedburner URL, which will be used all over the theme. No need to enable the Feedsmith plugin.

3. Widgets Ready : The themes supports widgets, so just drop the ones you use.

4. About the Author Section : The theme comes with an alternative footer which has the about the author section instead of the Flickr Photos shown in the variation SkyHigh. You can upload your picture and a small description using the footer.php page.
