Ever wonder how to put a giant porcupine photo at the top of your homepage – but a happy hippo in the header everywhere else? Want to know how to display a list of favourite sites on your blog – but on static pages have a sidebar with Twitter and Facebook links instead?

Understanding conditionals is a key building block in crafting WordPress sites – a powerful skill that will let you do all kinds of nifty things with your templates. Once you see how handy WordPress conditional tags are, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without them!
