I was told about WordPress as I was looking for a simple CMS system, one that allows a news/blog system, plus the ability to be tailored so the client can alter normal pages of just text and images.
I installed WP successfuly, but its not immediately obvious how to move away from the classic blog layout for the non-blog pages.
Can anyone offer any good place to start to make this work for me?
Thanks
Create a different Page template.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages
see the Page Templates section for details.
Check out entries having to do with CMS at the Codex ( codex.wordpress.org ).
It sounds like what you want to do is author pages rather than posts. If you add a file named "page.php" to your theme's directory, WordPress will use that for the pages, so you can adjust it to take out all the "blog"-type stuff.
