What is responsive web design?
This is where you design for the desktop, tablets and mobile. There is no need to have a separate website for mobile or tablets because responsive web design replaces that.

The default search box that comes with WordPress is too basic and it does the job.
What if you want to improve it? Such as clicking/tapping on the input field to make the text disappear so you can start searching? Want to make that input box and button looking sexy? Maybe you don’t want a button?
One of the really great things about WordPress is the amount of quality free themes and Bones is no exception!
Bones provides two template options, “classic” and “responsive”, if you’re not familiar with the term responsive, where have you been! Bones its self describes it as:
Designing for multiple devices is a tough task. Right off the bat, you need a flexible and solid starting point. The Responsive version of Bones is that starting point. With a stylesheet setup for media queries and a Mobile First approach, you’ll already be ahead of the curve.
This is by far one of the best, if not the best, theme frameworks i’ve ever come across. I like it so much I incorporated it into my portfolio site – ajthomas.co.uk
It utilises a number of other cool frameworks including but not limited to; Less, 1140 css grid, Oh and it also uses HTML5!
So what you waiting for, download it and start using Bones!
This is a great little plugin that I have found during my morning coffee break.
It is based on the HTML5 Boilerplate and is highly recommended to use.
From the screenshot, you will get to select a lot of options:

The quick(!) lowdown from the FAQ about this plugin what you can choose.

If you are the kind of person who like to create WordPress theme from scratch I would recommend Forge. It is a brilliantly constructed toolkit that lives in the command line to bootstrap and develop your website using SASS, LESS and CoffeeScript.
The use of this software is utterly simple and require a bit of command line knowledge.

If you are like me who don’t use the Link URL in ‘Add Media’. There is a chance you are getting fed up of having to click on ‘None’ to remove this. What if I told you there is a way round this?
Log into your WordPress and go to this address:
http://yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/options.php
This is the hidden side of WordPress that they don’t want to tell you about as it is strictly for people who knows what they are doing (we don’t really). Scroll down to image_default_link_type and change from file to none.
Now you no longer have to deal with this issue.
Warning: We are not responsible if anything goes wrong. Always, always, always back up before doing anything drastic!

If you are finding your current WordPress setup running slow even when it is running on a modernly fast server, you will need a caching plugin to serve your pages faster. W3 Total Cache is the tool for the job.
What is caching in general? It is designed to improve web server performance while keeping your websites up when it is under heavy load from the likes of Reddit, Hackers News, Digg, retweets links and many more.
