Most popular posts

A rash of posts tonight because I’ve been looking at ways to get more readers for the plooptionary.  The reason for this is that I was tipped off about this site and it pointed me to a wordpress plugin that showed the most popular past posts - it’s on the right in the sidebar and it’s clear the best posts were those with the most comments (which says a great deal about my content!).

So I reckon, the more visitors posting the better.

I do have a tendency to take a tour into areas where I have no understanding (the header is a good example as there’s a lovely redesigned one behing the blue one and I can’t get it to show!) - so if the site becomes bobbins then let me know and I’ll stop tinkering!  Technology is not a strong point - as you’ll see from my confused ramblings here! But I feel it’s time to start trying harder - but I won’t be getting out the ruler for the graphs, I promise.  Actually my early forays into the ‘tech world’ suggest I’m quite the whizz at spotting trends - fuelmyblog has become quite a vibrant place and Kevin D who sometimes passes by here is a cracking chap doing a fine job over there …

  1. I’ve not messed about with the Kubrick theme, so I’m not giving you any guarantees, but if you look at the theme files, and find the ’style.css’ file:

    First make a backup copy.
    Then open it up in Wordpad (Not Word!)
    Find the line #header
    Replace ‘images/kubrickheader.jpg’) with the name of your image eg ‘ploop.jpg’
    Save the file & upload it to your server, overwriting the original.
    Make sure your ‘ploop.jpg’ is in the http://plooptionary.com/wp-content/themes/default/images directory.

    And that should do it. Of course there are more elegant ways, and you can have the image in a different directory if you edit the file path, but this should work.

    I’d recommend getting a new theme anyway, as Kubrick is over-used-Choose one with an image in the header already, and it’s a simple substitution job to get in place.

    BTW, an even faster way to change the image is to rename your custom image ‘kubrickheader.jpg’) ‘ and overwrite the original, but that’s cheating ;-)
