Lets use this code as an example. You are going to either be editing the page.php, or the single.php, or you might even be creating your own template file for your unique theme. Either way take this snippet and use it as a guideline for your specific needs.

This is an example

Lorem ipsum, lorem ipsum, lorem ipsum, etc.... you get the point

Alright, above you have the code that will produce the structure you need, but now you need to add the way it will look. Let’s dig into the CSS that will power the way this looks.

.col1 { width: 50%; float: left; }
.col2 { width: 50%; float: left; }

Yes it is really that simple to define a column structure!

You want to set up one more thing, the columns might not always be the same height, so lets add one more element to our XHTML structure.

The CSS that will assist in making our columns the equal length

.clear { clear: both; }

There you have it, a simple way to add more columns to your WordPress 3.0 Layout. Have fun coding!

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 100, true );

Alright, great we have enabled our theme to use thumbnails, you will notice in your publishing page for posts you have a box to select a thumbnail. This is where you will define each thumbnail for each post, if you what different ones for each post.

We also need to now call this function in our template files. It depends on where you want your thumbnail to show up. That placement is up to you. Once you have decided where it goes, use the code below:

if ( has_post_thumbnail() )
     the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' );
else
     echo '';

Originially the code only included this line the_post_thumbnail( ‘thumbnail’ );but I wanted more flexibility. I found it rather cumbersome to have to add an image to each post, what if you forget, or just simply don’t want to have to create a new thumbnail for every post.

Hence why the if and else commands. Now you can set the default value for your thumbs, so you no longer have to create a million of them.

As always have fun.

Here are the names of the meta boxes on the dashboard:

Main column

$wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_right_now']
$wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_recent_comments']
$wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_incoming_links']
$wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['normal']['core']['dashboard_plugins']

Side Column

$wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_quick_press']
$wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_recent_drafts']
$wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_primary']
$wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_secondary']

Using this code will allow you to remove dashboard widgets that you might not want your clients to have access to, or things you may just find annoying. Enjoy.

Here I have included direct links to flickr, I would think the next step would be to incorporate a feed from flickr to automatically pull the photos from photosets, but you will have to wait for that tutorial, or figure it out. Either way have fun with it.

I think that this is a good point to make, and there is quite a lot you can do to make your websites perform better on these devices, but that is another post!
Here is a list of steps that you can use to custom tailor your HTML5 video embedding Issues

• In order to view video on the ipad, or ipod touch devices you need to make sure your videos are first encoded in .MP4 or .OGG format.
• Use javascript code to help the web page know if it is being viewed on an HTML5 enabled device.

• Test your script with multiple video embeds to make sure it is working. In our situation, we needed to embed video for Vimeo, but you might be using UTube or even Flickr now.

That is it. Enjoy your video on the ipad
