WordPress has introduced Custom Fields for some time now, but not many people seem to know how to use them. Today I’ll try to give you some enlightenment about this, and explain how they work or what they can be used for.

The com.bydust.ajax class is simply a javascript class that automatically converts your static website into a full-blown ajaxed website. Whenever a user visits your website, the class will perform a browser-check. If your visitor’s browser is capable of running the needed javascript, it will convert the website automatically.
