When you designing your own WordPress theme, it’s important to make sure the interface is natural and easy to use. Using icons along side navigation links is one key ingredient to achieving this. But Instead of creating icon sets from scratch, which can be time consuming, why not use icons that have already been created for you?
Here are some of the best icon sets out there for use in your design.
The default Kubrick template that comes with WordPress
is great straight out of the box. However, some people prefer to have their pages and posts laid out differently.
By default, the sidebar is located on the right side of the page rather than the left. The following tutorial explains how to easily move the sidebar from right to left.

The default size of an avatar in a wordpress theme is 32×32px, which is sometime’s a bit small. In my new theme design I want to change it to 60×60px instead.
In your theme, open the comments.php and look for the following code:
1 | <?php wp_list_comments(); ?> |
This simple line of code has a lot of options available. If you want to learn more about them, just have a look at the WordPress Codex pages. For now, we’ll just concentrate on the size of the avatar.
The way to change the default size is simply by adding some text inside the function, like this:
1 | <?php wp_list_comments('avatar_size=60'); ?> |
It’s that simple!
