Help with more “advanced” template

    Hi,
    Previously I had wordpress installed on my website, so I’m not quite helpless when it comes to templates, but I have a question.
    Recently had a layout change for my website and I used somebody’s css template. In his template the updating field looks very nice and I was curious if there was any way to keep the format he created but STILL incorporate wordpress?

    Here is a photo for reference:

    You see how the date is formatted and such? Is there anyway where I can plugin my wordpress right where the text is?

    Thanks for any input, much appreciated! <3

    That should be pure CSS.

    And just a note about the thinking… You should think the other way around: putting that “design” in WordPress (and NOT WP in it), which means just create a theme that looks like that picture.

    Can we see a link to the original CSS theme?

    You can probably integrate WP into it, but, of course it will take some work — but you knew that already, hence asking for “advanced” template help in the subject line.

    It would be easier to find an existing WP Theme that is similar to what you like. I’ve seen several that have sort-of that style but not exactly.

    With enough work, any CSS layout could be integrated with WP. It’d be easy enough, for example, to “call” the date of the post using a WP function, and place it inside the CSS style for the Date as displayed in that CSS layout you showed. But that would just be 1 step of the many steps needed to make it into a true WP theme (header, footer, template tags, template hierarchy, etc).
