Newbie to WP - "non-blog style" pages? (3 posts)

    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.

    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.
