function add_post_content($content) {
if(!is_feed() && !is_home()) {
$content .= ‘<p>This article is copyright &copy; ‘.date(‘Y’).’&nbsp;’.bloginfo(‘name’).’</p>’;

add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘add_post_content’);

Job done

Open your style.css file and paste the following code:

.leadpic {
float:left;
width:200px;
height:100px;
border:1px solid #bebebe;
padding:5px;
margin:10px 10px 10px 10px;
}

The code above can be customized as you want.

Now open the index.php file and search the following code:

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post

Under this code paste the following code:

<?php
$values = get_post_custom_values("Image");
if (isset($values[0])) {
?>
<div>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("Image"); echo $values[0]; ?>" alt="" width="200px" height="100px" /></a>
</div>
<?php } ?>

To use this custom field you must add a new custom field from wordpress post options.

On the key field put image and on the value field put your image url.

The entire code from this article can be easily customized. For any questions feel free to post a comment.

Creating multiple sidebars in wordpress is a fairly easy process. We have to work just on functions.php file. Your default functions.php file should look like this:

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar();
?>

To create two sidebars paste the following code on your functions.php file:

<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar1',
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h4>',
'after_title' => '</h4>',
));
register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar2',
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h4>',
'after_title' => '</h4>',
));
?>
As you can see i’ve created two sidebars called sidebar1 and sidebar2. To use these sidebars paste on your php files the following code:

Sidebar1 code goes like this:
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar1') ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Sidebar2 code goes like this:
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar2') ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Hope you enjoy this.

After you’ve saved this page you can activate it from dashboard > pages (edit a available page). On the right side you will see the “attributes” spot and go to the “template”. Select there the page that you’ve created.

In this new page you can create new functions very easy and you can control them from wordpress.

Let’s see which are this five steps.

1. FAVICON

The first step is to create a unique favicon. The favicon show that you are interested about your website and the visitors will trust you much. To create  the favicon i recommend you to visit www..faviconsr.us (download ready favicons) or www.favicon.cc (create favicons).

The favicon format can be jpg, png etc. You must be sure that the favicon is square (16×16, 32×32, 64×64 or 128×128). After your favicon is ready, upload it on your hosting account or any file hosting website. After i’ve uploaded your favicon go to your wordpress Dashboard > Presentation > Theme Editor and open header.php file.

Paste in header.php following code: <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”faviconpath” />

Replace ‘faviconpath’ with the path of the Favicon. That’s it. Was easy, right ? Now you should see tha image before the URL in your browser.

2. LOGO

The logo is a important part of branding. With little effort and basic knowledge of photoshop or illustrator you will  succeed to create a logo for your website. You must think on something representative for you.

Some logo design tutorials you can find here

3. THE GOOD WAY TO WRITE YOUR ARTICLES

The way you write your articles is very important. This can bring to you more visitors or may disadvantage you and you will lose visitors.

Don’t write very long articles. Try to summarize the essential in few lines. Use custom fields for a clean look. Read your articles comments and answare at your visitors questions. Don’t use many bold words and don’t put many links on your articles.

4. BLOGROLL

Here is indicated to put links just from website that are in same category with yours. It is not indicated to put on a wordpress releated blog a link to a car sells website because have no connection with your website.

5. FEEDS

Use RSS feed, Twitter, Facebook and others. Put in sidebar links to your social networks profiles and your RSS feed.

I hope these tips are useful for you.

I will mention in this article five useful methods that will help you to bring more visitors on your website.

1. RSS Feed

Use feedburner.com for your RSS feed. Feedburner will help you to have a more control over your RSS subscribers. You will have a tracking system and advanced statistics. Feedburner is easy to use and many useres preferred to work with it.

2. Social Networks

Twitter and Facebook are the best way to promote yourself (in my opinion). You can find here a lot of people who have web activities and therefore they will be interested in your website.

3. SEO Optimization

If you use wordpress for your website you can change the permalink. Chose “day and name” format. This will help you in search engine indexing.

4. Your Activity

Your activity from other websites are important. If your comments are well many people will be interested in your website to find more articles from you. Therefore do not neglect the way that you write your comments on other websites.

5. Your Posts

You have to familiarize your visitors with a number of articles per day. You have to set objectives to write at least one article per day. For exemple i write one article per day. I wish to write a several articles but my freelance work is a takes time.

I hope these tips are useful.
