Do away with themes

    I just upgraded from b2 0.6 to WP 1.5, I am wondering if there is anyway not to use the theme function to do the layout. What I need for this particular blog is a very simple layout to fit in with my site, so there’s really no need to create themes. Is it possoble to just use tags in a single index.php and disable the theme function? Thanks.

    1) create a directory called mythemes in the wp-content\themes
    2) create your display code in the files index.php and style.css
    3) at the top of style.css, place the following:
    /*
    Theme Name: MyTheme
    Theme URI: http://example.com/
    Description: My Theme
    Version: 1.0
    Author: Me
    */
    4) activate your theme

    Themes do not necessarily mean complicated. You can manage your set up any which way. Themes is the place to do it. And the WP output has got to be styled somewhere I would think ?

    It is not a 3/4 step procedure to convert themes. I have yet to get any of my old style sheets to work(properly) after conversion. It’s a pain in the rear. So far I have found the docs to be more than slightly lacking and look forward to writing some good info once I can get this stuff working. I have a feeling that theme authors can read between the lines to fill the blanks, the rest of us are screwed.

    Dont worry. My theme pack called Odyssey is ready for lift off. Nearly.

    Romi, just create you theme in whatever you’d like and drop The Loop into it to display the WordPress content.
