So this is my second time customising WP. I am rebuilding my site, and where I had a separate blog section before, I am now going to integrate the blog with my Home page.
My question is can I just take the index page I already have built and simply include the WP content in the middle?
Is there anything the content will 'need' which normally comes from the WP header and footer, if I omit those includes (and use my own instead)?
Could I customise the single page and multiple results pages in the same way - use my own header, footer and surround?
----------------------------------------
Should I just customise the pages in my own theme? I don't need to customise anything outside of the theme folder, right?
