    okay, this might be a not very smart question – but after looking at all these php files, where does the content actually come from? Is the only way to add the actually content say of the body section -thru the dashboard/admin area? or can I add this into it’s own separate file-html/php – too?

    I saw that bloginfo() for example can pull stylesheets-in a header – but it’s grabbing one of the css files…
    But what about the bloginfo() for the title – where does it grab this title from? Or the content area – how do/where do you pull the info for the the_content or the wp_link_pages for example?? I’d rather do it all through code than logging into as admin and updating through the dashboard. is thsi possible?? does this make sense?
    thanks

    I think you’re missing a basic point of the advantages of WordPress. Content is created in the Dashboard, Pages or Posts and is stored in the database associated to your installation.

    This allows you to concentrate on content rather than code.

    The purpose of the dashboard is to allow regular people (not coders) to create amazing, professional looking websites without having to know code.

    Embrace the dashboard. It’s your friend 🙂

    Hi Ron

    I understand that but my question is there a way to do it without the dashboard.

    That is what I am trying to figure out…

    thanks

    I suppose anything is possible, but the simple answer is: No

    Things are generally customisable as you want. I think most of what you wish to achieve would be done by modifying your theme.

    I’m not entirely sure what it is that you’re wanting to do “in the code”, though.

    You don’t have to use the dashboard to create posts, you can enter posts programmatically or alter their behaviour using the API.
