I recently received an email asking for some Wordpress advice on making posts show up in columns just like on 9antivirus.com and thought I’d share one way of doing this.

I’ve set up a demo blog showing how it looks after the code is implemented.

There are two theme files to be edited: index.php and style.css. I have just edited the default Kubrick theme, so adjust this to suit your own theme.

The basic idea is to add a “switch” so Wordpress knows if you’re looking at a post which will appear in the first or second column.

Wordpress Reports - Google Analytics and Feeburner

This is a brilliant plugin. Quite simple really - it tracks your Google Analytics and Feedburner reports without you having to login. They are contained within your Wordpress install. Makes the whole thing so easy to view. Thanks Jo.

From his site:

WordPress by default doesn’t come with any sort of web site reporting tools (and it really shouldn’t). So if you want to know how many people visited your site, which pages they viewed, or where they came from, you’ll need to either rely on your raw web logs or use an online tracking service provided by a third party. There are many different third party web tracking services out there, but the two free and popular third party solutions that I highly recommend are Google Analytics (for web traffic) and Feedburner (for syndicated traffic).

For all those interested it is nearly here. I have been playing with the admin backend and it works great. Not long to go.
