   I'm porting this static site over to WP (my first foray into WP development) and I'm looking for a little guidance here. My wp dev site: http://sully.homelinux.com - you can see the front page is coming along fairly well by comparing it to the original: http://mvmag.net

   Right now I want to start working on the other content - this page in particular: http://mvmag.net/guide.html. I want to design this template/style in such a way that my client can easily add/modify the ads using the WP interface and I'm not sure how to approach it. Do I only need a seperate stylesheet, a template, some functions? I'd like to avoid tables altogether...

   If someone could just roughly explain how I could accomplish this I'd appreciate it! I'm not yet as familiar with the WP terms as I'd like to be but if I knew what I need here I can at least read the documentation ;)

   Well, a little more research and I *think* I might be on the right track. If I create another page template (ex: themes/my_theme/dining.php) that uses its own style that defines the multi column layout and look I need for text and images, then the user creates one new entry for each ad, I can have dining.php load the entries from the db and display them according to my stylesheet.

   Can someone just confirm whether or not my thinking is correct here?
