Add category specific custom messages to posts – Wordpress Hack

Wordpress 2.7 comes with a category class, which can be exploited to create custom messages for each category on the article pages. This is a bright idea that you could use to take advantage of the most popular category on your blog. You could either use the custom message to promote a product, or just give a “surprise” message to the reader or something similar.

What the hack does – Displays a custom styled text message either on main article page (single.php) , at the end of the post, that will appear only on selected categories.

The custom category message hack is illustrated with a detailed How-to tutorial by the folks at Vandelay design here.

    Great post mani,
    I want to know how much can i charge for doing link building work? and how much is it possible to build quality links per month.
    I had no record of my previous works because i build them all because of my enthusiasm over my own blog.
    And also please consider posting the list of Do-Follow Social bookmarking sites.
    With regards,
    Balaji Prakash

    Balaji, your charge I assume should depend on what project you are working on as link building requires lot of content development as well. Clearly you cannot charge a real estate site and an entertainment site alike. A real estate site will need more hard work to develop “likeable content” than an entertainment site. So it varies from case to case.
