For my Code Snippets website, I use the Escapade WordPress theme as the starting point, but I jazz it up with custom JavaScript, jQuery, and CSS code to really make it my own and give it some personality.
I wanted to give my website a really cool old-school terminal vibe and I couldn’t resist the urge to add a killer matrix-style terminal background effect to the main navigation area of my website.
I use the CM Header & Footer Script Loader WP plug-in to add custom JavaScript and jQuery code to modify the Escapade WordPress theme. It’s super easy to use and lets you add your own code to the header or footer of your WordPress site. Plus, it’s a great way to keep your code separate from your theme files, so you can update your theme without losing any of your customizations.
