There are many different ways to redirect a visitor from one URL to another. I prefer the PHP redirect. Let’s say for example you are an affiliate for a new online store and they have given you a unique affiliate link to post on your blog to track the referrals you generate. Most of the time, this link it pretty ugly. You may want to have a URL that looks more professional or perhaps easier for someone to type or remember. You can redirect visitors from the pretty URL to the actual affiliate link instantly and still receive credit for the referral.

If you are married to your theme and it doesn’t support custom WordPress menus, then you can add them yourself. Here is how to add custom menus to your WordPress blog.

To avoid you going through the same trouble that I had, here is the jQuery script I wrote to infinitely rotate images when the mouse hovers over the images. If you have some tips, leave a comment. Maybe one day I’ll get around to writing up a WordPress Plugin for this. :)
CSS3 Media Queries / Mobile / iPhone
Below is a list of media queries I use to help my define CSS rules within my stylesheet. Sometimes you just can’t always make your design responsive using math (target / context = result) so here are some media queries. You can also Google media queries CSS3 for more options.
