As I mentioned before, I’ve been having great fun with the new Nometet.com design. It’s now sporting a feature that allows the author to set a custom background for the post just by uploading an image. This image doesn’t even need to be the correct size; that’s all done on the fly. Uploading isn’t hard either; I’ve implemented an uploader that sits inside a meta box so the hardest bit is choosing the image! In this post we’ll have a look at how it’s done.

I’ll let you into a little secret. WordPress is a CMS. Arguably it’s a simple one, but it’s still a CMS; I’m currently writing my content and using WordPress as a system to manage my content. WordPress needn’t just manage content for my blog though. With pages and page templates you’ve got a quick and easy way of making a killer content management system.

SEO is something I’ve discussed before here on WPShout, but here we’re going to dive into a slightly more specific area: post titles, RSS reader titles and
tags and using custom fields to create a specific title for each of them.</p><h4 class="continue"><a href="http://wpshout.com/awesome-wordpress-seo-with-custom-fields/">Continue Reading</a></h4></div></div><div class="archives post wrap"><div class="block"> <a href="http://wpshout.com/how-to-display-quotes-from-a-random-post-in-wordpress/" rel="bookmark" title="How To: Display Quotes From A Random Post in WordPress"><img src="http://wpshout.com/wp-content/themes/Charmless//tools/timthumb.php?src=http://images.wpshout.com/quote.jpg&q=35&w=640" width="640px" alt="How To: Display Quotes From A Random Post in WordPress" /></a><div class="post-title"><h2 class="title-post"><a href="http://wpshout.com/how-to-display-quotes-from-a-random-post-in-wordpress/" rel="bookmark" title="How To: Display Quotes From A Random Post in WordPress">How To: Display Quotes From A Random Post in WordPress</a></h2><p class="post-details">Posted on 21.
