   I have someone designing my WordPress theme for me in version 3.2.1 so I do not have it yet. I am writing content for it though, quite a few articles. I have Dreamweaver so I was thinking about writing them in there so when I do get my WordPress theme I can easily just transfer it all over in the underlying code (hoping it won't be clunky like happens sometimes) with all of the hyperlinks already in place. Could someone tell me what the underlying html is written in for WordPress (XHTML 1.0 transitional?). Thank you!

   Hi brainfreeeze0,

   WordPress is PHP based software. The posts and pages are stored in a database, so they are not separate files. While your theme is being designed, you should still be able to access the dashboard and write your posts (and/or any pages) there.

   Hope this helps!

   As for whether WP is xhtml, html, etc, that is up to your theme designer.

   The output of wordpress is controlled by your theme. The DOCTYPE decleration will be made in your theme. So the html designation is decided by your theme dev.

   These days it really makes the most sense to just use DOCTYPE html IMHO, gives the most flexibility

   ahhhh ty so much for that! I think my best option is to just write it in word and then make the necessary adjustments when i get it from my designer. TY!

   If you write your blog posts in Word, please use the 'paste from Word' button on the post editor.

   When writing or editing a post or page in the Visual editor tab (as opposed to the HTML editor tab), click the button on the far right (looks like three horizontal rows of tiny icons).

   This will display a second row of editor icons.

   Now, just click the button with the Word logo in it, and a special box will appear allowing you to paste text directly from a Word document.

   TinyMCE (the third-party tool used for WordPress' Visual editor) will do its best to translate the Word-formatted text to HTML.
