By default the WordPress Comment Form is very plain and it often needs a touch of customisation. On the latest theme I am working on I wanted a few changes to the comment form. To do this I needed to change the arguments passed to the comments form along with a few lines of styling.

Personally I feel that the masonry blog layout is a bit over-used these days but for a portfolio or photography site it serves a definite purpose. A masonry layout is a nice way of overcoming the different size images, e.g. portrait and landscape.

Often there are times when I want to append a search form to a menu. This site is an example of where I did just this.

The WCAG standards are very specific about adding alternative attributes to image links. The alt attribute provides alternative information for an image if a user for some reason cannot view it (e.g. if the user is using a screen reader).

WordPress adds a level of complexity to the situation in that when a user adds an image to the either a post or page he/she can enter their own alt attribute.
