Custom Page for Wordpress

Recently, i was looking around the web for this topic “making custom page for wordpress”, but it was so hard to find anything for this keyword, and after spending some time i did find a good resource therefore i would like to share it here. What motivated me to write this post, well i already knew how to make a custom page a homepage, but i wanted a custom page, like you would see my banner page doesn’t have a sidebar.

This post will have three main points that it will be discussing. One main point would be creating a Custom Wordpress Page, then the other two points will be different ways of making a static wordpress homepage. I thought alot about it, and have decided to have it in text and a video format for each method. Each method will have its individual video. I will try to go as slow as i can so others can follow, and i will try to explain each step clearly in the video.

Creating a Custom Wordpress Page

What i mean by creating a custom wordpress page, is having a page in your wordpress blog that have different layout. Not necessarily just your homepage. As i needed a custom page on balkhis to post my new banners and if i had posted the 728×90 banner it would’ve broken the template, so to see an example of a custom wp page Click Here.

Now here is how you will start, open a notepad file, dreamweaver file, or some type of text editor. Then go on, and paste the following codes in it above everything, all your html codes and whatever you have on top.

Yup ofcourse, all the codes are in full post along with the videos.

Importance of Social Bookmarks in the Template

Social Bookmarks are essential for web advertising. By saying that i make my point clear about that it is necessary to promote your blog(s) and websites added in the social bookmarks. The question comes on how exactly will you advertise on the different social bookmark websites. That problem is solved by one of the Social bookmark submitters like Add to Bookmarks or Addme. Many people even go as far as paying others to bookmark their sites. All these ways work, but ok you can pay one guy, ten guys, twenty guys. It will end somewhere, but your site won’t end. You will have to keep going, so how will you get each and every single one of your user to bookmark your website or blog posts.

An easy way to do is by placing icons for the most popular social bookmark service below your post. What this will do is when someone reads the post, and they really like it. They will just click on the icon to stumble, digg, or add it to other bookmarks rather than going through the hassle of manually submitting each. I did it on balkhis and it helps alot. I am happy to offer it to my loyal users also. I hope you guys will make a good use out of this information and hopefully it helps your site. If this advice helps any of you and you get results, don’t be shy about posting your results here.
