 * Newbie wants to create static pages:
    1) Can I use a different theme for my PAGES[
   i.e., not the same as for the posts]?
 * 2) I’m currently using FUSION 3.1. But I previewed BLOGSTARTER THEME and it didn’t“
   translate” well, e.g. some HTML was visible and the title of the blog was Blogstarter,
   not Sharisax is Out There.
 * Any tips or answers? THX

    🙁 Unfortunately, I have read through the website listed above...
   and it is too confusing.
 * I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO START?
 * 1) Do I go to my host site?
    2) Where do I write code? What window/page?

 * You really don’t need Page Templates (unless you want pages to be different from
   each other).
 * In the WordPress Hierarchy is specified that pages are displayed using a file
   called page.php, while posts use the file single.php.
 * You can style pages different than posts this way. You need however to consider
   that, depending on your theme, header and footer information might be the same
   for both.

 * Hey, Peter, THX for responding, BUT . . . when I have tried to add a new page
   WITH a different Theme, then the rest of my blog is affected.
    🙁 Do you know
   much about the BlogStarter theme? Shari

 * No, I know nothing about that theme. Is there any way we can have a look at your
   site and look how pages affect your theme?
 * How did you apply that different theme?
