In this tutorial I continue building the WordPress News Theme. If you missed the first part of this tutorial click that link.
I paused this tutorial so that I could make my WordPress Featured Content Slider. So, now that that is out of the way I’ll turn the HTML and CSS, I made previously, into a WordPress Theme.
I’ll start out by making header.php. Then I’ll show you how to grab the first image from a WordPress post and much more.
I didn’t plan on doing this tutorial since part 9 of this series, but I wanted to add a few features. I go into detail on those features after the video.
I also wanted to show you how to use the Featured Content Slider I made for WordPress. All of the code is available in a zipped archive.
I’m not going to upload this to the WordPress plugin depository, so this is the only place to get it. Don’t worry it is still free to use however you’d like.
It seems like I started this WordPress Featured Content tutorial forever ago. Well in this tutorial I finish it.
I have shown you how to do pretty much anything with WordPress in this tutorial. All of those things I have missed have already been covered in my basic WordPress Theme Tutorial or in my WordPress Plugin Tutorial.
Like always the code follows the video. You can do what ever you want with it under the GNU license.
If you recently installed Mac OSX Lion and now can’t start Web Sharing, or if you get a 403 Forbidden Message when you try to access your web server I have a fix.
The first thing you should do is to open the Console app. To do that click in the Spotlight Search box in the upper right hand corner. Type Console and then double click the application to open it.
This sounds more complicated than it is
Here I finish what I started in part 7 of the WordPress Featured Content tutorial.
I’m focusing on how to dynamically create the featured content slider after a new post has been saved.
The main skills you’ll develop here, aside from how to make the slider, is how to keep your code very organized as you proceed through a complicated project.

I’ll specifically show you how to do many things with WordPress like:

You’ll learn how to make a meta box that allows the user to define the featured image they want to associate with their post.
I received a ton of emails recently asking how to use the Google Plus One Button on a WordPress site.
This is extremely easy to do. You can set up everything from inside of WordPress with a few simple copies and pastes.
So, open up your WordPress dashboard on your favorite browser and we’ll be done in a few minutes.
Here I finish all of the HTML and CSS for the WordPress News Theme. Here is all of the code and images from the tutorial zipped archive. It’s licensed under the GNU License, so you can do whatever you want with it.

In a previous article I talked about Income in the United States. I showed who makes how much, what taxes are paid and what they spend that money on.
In this video I cover United States Income Distribution with a focus on how the wealthiest are able to avoid taxation. I also focus a great deal of attention on the corporations and Billionaires in the United States.
I provide a video, the entire presentation on Income Distribution and a list of the wealthiest Billionaires below.
In this video tutorial I explore the Distribution of Wealth in America. My two sources are the Federal Reserve Boards Survey of Consumer Finances and the IRS Tax Stats Reports.
Here you’ll learn just about everything about the Net Worths of Americans. Wealth distribution will be analyzed from every angle.
I created an article on how Medicare / Social Security got into their current state called Fix Social Security and Medicare. I never thought it would get much attention, but after I received a bunch of emails on it, I decided to create this presentation.
I don’t believe Medicare / Social Security will ever go away, no matter how many politicians say that it will. The fact is that without Medicare / Social Security 90% of US citizens could not afford to survive in the retirement years.
If you want to see the stats from this tutorial check out Fix Social Security and Medicare.
In this article, I show you everything there is to know about income and taxes in the United States.
I’ve seen countless articles that focus on estimates and guesses on this subject. In this article I provide cold hard facts. You’ll be shocked by what I found!

After I created my article on income inequality and the US Economic Crisis I received numerous requests for more information.
Information on the Average Net Worth of Americans is readily available, and I’ll provide you with a bunch of pie charts and graphs that explain everything.
This information comes from two main sources. The Federal Reserve Boards Survey of Consumer Finances and a couple Reports from the IRS.
Recently I started to do videos on the US Economy because it is very hard to read through Government reports.
After I received 27 emails asking how to Fix Social Security and Medicare I decided to look into it. What I found is that Social Security and Medicare shouldn’t be broken.
In this article I’m going to explain all of the numbers behind this debate. I may not be able to fix the damage the Government has done to these programs, but I will shine a light on the theft.
Everyone loved my video on the US Economic Crisis, so I created a new one. This time I’ll explain how the US Financial Crisis occurred!
By the end you’ll understand:
Ever since I started this site, I’ve received hundreds of requests to explain Quantitative Easing and the US Economic Crisis.
I held off covering the topic until I gathered enough facts on what is wrong with the Economy as a whole. What I discovered was shocking!
In this video, I’ll show you just how bad the US Economy is. This is the fault of political figures from both parties.
