Well it’s been way too long since I have written a post on my blog, so I thought I would quickly tell everyone what I have been up to lately! I just finished designing a website for a puppy trainer! This site has been so much fun to create – I’ve met all types of new doggy friends – My favorite of which is a Newfoundlander named Malibu – and I’ll tell you he SNORES as loud (or maybe even louder than my husband). The only thing left to do on the website is get some more written content – but you can check it out here:

We have a date scheduled next week to upload some content and get the google calender up and running. So if you want to check out the completed site come back and visit next week!

There is tons of information about how to make a random image header in wordpress, and just as many plugins -  however, I wanted to make my own rotating header image. If you are like me, and you want “complete control” over your site – here is the easy way to make a rotating / random header image:

1. Create a folder called “header-images” & put your header images inside this folder
2. Upload header-images to your wp-content folder
3. Create a file called “rotate.php”
4. Add the following code to your “rotate.php” page (you can copy and paste from here: http://ma.tt/scripts/randomimage/ )
5. Upload rotate.php into the header-images folder (so that rotate.php is with all your images)
6. In your theme’s “style.css” file find “#header”
7. add the following code:
   “background: url (…/header-images/rotate.php);” (this is telling your header to add the rotate.php as the background image)
8. Upload  your css file 
9. Test  your site and your finished!
