Tout savoir sur la gestion des miniatures (thumbnails) avec WordPress Depuis la version 2.9 de WordPress, les miniatures d’articles ont fait leur apparition sous la forme d’un module « Image à la une » dans l’éditeur. Ces miniatures nécessitent que le thème prenne en charge une telle fonctionnalité ce qui est encore loin d’être le cas. Je vous propose donc de suivre ce tutoriel pour rendre compatible votre thème et de bénéficier ainsi d’une fonctionnalité au combien utile. La plupart des blogs actuels affichent une miniature pour accrocher le lecteur à côté du titre et de la description d’un article.

Twenty Eleven Theme Twenty Eleven is the default theme for WordPress in 2011. There are tons of really cool improvements and features packed into it — more Post Formats, beautiful new header images, alternate color schemes and layouts, even custom link colors. All those features add up to the best part of Twenty Eleven: just how customizable it is. It looks great as a blog, a showcase of all your posts, and even a tumblelog or photolog. Post Formats Twenty Eleven features seven Post Formats that help the look of your blog posts better match what you’re publishing. The Aside Format is for shorter posts of about 1 paragraph. The Link Format looks a lot like the Aside post but if you’re using the Twenty Eleven Ephemera Widget to display a list of your recent Aside and Link posts (found in Appearance → Widgets) the title of your Link posts will point to the URL of the first link in your post instead of pointing back to the post on your blog. The Gallery Format is meant for posts using the Gallery shortcode.
10 Awesome Shortcodes For Your WordPress Blog Last week I featured three tips for effectively utilizing shortcodes. Now what’s the point in having all of that knowledge if you can’t use it?

As you can see, it is very simply to change what message you want to display, and you can include full-blown HTML and CSS. Most Recent Post Related Posts Display AdSense
