Generally speaking, most of the blogs that you find on the Internet will make use of a single unified theme or template for the entirety of the site. Whether you are reading this single WordPress Wednesday post or one of the Marketing 101 posts on the BlueFur blog, you will see the same theme. What if you want to shake it up?

There are instances where you may choose to have a different theme based on the category or type of post. For instance, if you have a multi-author blog, you may want to have a slightly modified template based on the author of that particular post. How do you go about doing this without utilizing multiple WordPress installations?

A very handy plug-in for this purpose is called ThemePerPost. As you can probably guess from its name, this WordPress plug-in allows you to have different styles and themes for each of your posts. This can be great for landing pages, sub-sections, and other similar applications. Maybe you want a different theme for your About page.

This plug-in adds a custom field in the area where you would normally write or edit your blog posts and pages. From there, you can choose from the templates that you have uploaded to the regular themes directory in your WordPress installation.
