WordPress questions

ohcnetwork Senior Member Joined: 31 Mar 2005 Good Posts: 1486 WordPress questions     WordPress is a bit different from Blogger, so I'm still learning how it works. I have quite a few questions about WordPress, and I'm hoping that someone in this forum can answer these question and help me out. q1. Default installation apparently does not create right navigation or left navigation on each blog entry page. Can I just configure this or I need to install a new theme or modify the default theme? q2. I want to modify header and footer. Do I need to modify theme php files or I can just modify some kind of template like Blogger's template? Degree : Health Chat Finance : Film Thu Aug 24, 2006 11:10 am

I'm guessing a theme is equivalent to a Blogger template. House Buying . Money Guide . House Shop . Personal Money Guide Thu Aug 24, 2006 6:12 pm

I would say its best to modify the theme rather than any actual WordPress files, so you can upgrade easily etc. House Buying . Money Guide . House Shop .

Chris Senior Member Joined: 26 Oct 2005 Good Posts: 318 This site uses WordPress, and I have only designed my own theme, not changed any other files. If you look at the themes page : http://themes.wordpress.net/ you can see how themes are used to change the design. House Buying . Money Guide . House Shop .

ohcnetwork Senior Member Joined: 31 Mar 2005 Good Posts: 1486 I actually downloaded a theme. I wanted to use 2-columns theme, so I didn't start from the default one. It seems that I still need to make a couple of changes still in order to get the best SEO effect ... Degree : Health Chat Finance : Film Sun Sep 03, 2006 11:56 am
