Please noteK2 Explained is no longer available from this blog as it was old hat and and the information was extremely outdated. If you still have an urge to view them, please contact me.

I have just started up a new project, called K2 Explained; K2 Explained is hopefully going to become a source for documentation of How To's for the currently, extremely popular WordPress theme, K2. In itself, K2 Explained will aim to rewrite some of the "How2K2" articles by Cary Holt (seeing as they are no where to be seen) and add many more of it's own.

According to the K2 Wiki, the following articles were created well over a year ago now by Cary Holt:

  • An Indepth Look At Alerts – This should explain the built-in K2 alerts that are available and also show you how to add your own alert system.
  • Customizing Your Header – An in-depth explanation of how to customise your K2 header.
  • Sidebar Customization – How to customise your K2 sidebar and have more than one in your installation.
  • Categories – A little help for those of you who are in need of a category and category use explanation.
  • Modifying Comments – This will show you how to modify the comment lists that are shown underneath every post.
  • Becoming Search Friendly – Explanation on how to make your blog as search engine friendly and optimised as it can.
  • Showing Off Your Stats – How to show your readers what your blog consists of.
  • Text Linking To Your Feed – In-depth talk about feeds and feed advertisement.

Around about 2 months ago the blog which hosted them became unavailable and has not yet been put back up. Which means that hardly anyone can find the articles that were once there, or atleast they are just rare to come across. This is why I plan to rewrite some of them. The problem being, I do not have the original copies, which means that they will be different and my not be rewrites at all as I only have the titles to go by (which I will more than likely decide to change to avoid confusion).

Some of the tutorials/explainations will only work with the K2 theme and it's variants, whereas others will surely work with both K2 and the default WordPress themes, including many of those custom-made themes that do not make large-scale modifications.
