    Hi there,

    I have a couple of queries for the experts. I have purchased a domain and subscription from a web host, and I am new to web-development (as you can probably guess), but have encountered several problems:

    1) Is WordPress simply used for blogging purposes, or can it be used to build a website?

    2) If WordPress can be used to create a website- how can I format the homepage to actually look like a conventional website. At the moment- the homepage that WordPress have created has several links on the right hand navigational bar- that I can’t seem to get rid of.

    3) If the above is possible- can I create a homepage, create a blog and subsequently link to the blog from the homepage?

    4) Is it possible to alter the HTML code? I want to place an Google Analytics tag and AdSense code into the HTML code, but can’t see how to go about doing this. Please advise.

    I would be very gracious if you could shed light onto the problems that I have encountered- because I am in a real mess at the moment. Thank you very much for you help.

    Regards,

    Joe

    1) can be used for anything, have a look around

    2)you have to dig in a bit and learn the ropes. THemes can help you

    -also, you need to learn the functions of wordpress a bit. Anything on the sidebar can be changed, deleted, whatever.
    -plugins can help accomplish a lot of neat stuff

    3)Yes you can have a static homepage, many other static pages, plus dynamic blog stuff all linked together

    4)WP works with PHP code, and css styling fundamentally. You can edit it however you want. It’s very easy to put google analytics code in. You can search for a plugin, there are many that will do that for you. Or you put the code typically in the footer.php file of your theme
