   does wordpress allow for themes which display more than one page onscreen at once?
   Im sure that description makes no sense!! what I mean is a theme like along the lines of this....

   You can use the query post method as much as you want in a page, like so:

   <?php query_posts('category_name=news&showposts=1'); ?>

   And then run those posts through the loop:

   
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li class="<?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat) { echo $cat->cat_name . ' '; } ?>">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="View <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
Added: <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>

   prob with the use of some includes i think it could be done. I am actually laying out a design much like that for a band so that they can have their About page, and Shows page, along with the news on one ... Let me know if you make any progress I willl share my findings as well.

   Not sure that mockup makes sense. I'm assuming the little boxes represent Posts, not Pages, right?

   And presumably, posts from different categories? If so, have a look at this tutorial: http://www.cre8d-design.com/blog/2006/03/09/wordpress-tutorial-blog-posts-in-different-columns/

   cheers guys, I'll look into the 'query_post' technique, ta.
   sdenile: I would be interested in your progress with that site, if you can post up how you get on that would be great.
   I'll do the same, might not get time to try it for about a week mind you :(

   handysolo: I was thinking more like static pages, rather than posts.
   more for a website rather than a blog style site. much like the site sdenile described or maybe like the style used be a lot of hosting companies...
