# Questions About Custom Theme

 * I manage a Web site for a park. The site is designed in Dreamweaver using templates.
 * I’d like to incorporate WordPress into the site so it looks built-in. The template
   is a standard top header, left navigation (some DHTML) and a footer. The main
   content – and the blog content – would reside in the current editable area of
   the site.
 * I have some skills, but can someone point me in the direction of some sections
   in the Web manual or provide some additional information?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * As a suggestion, grab an existing theme you like (may I suggest not the default/
   Kubrick please) and see how the tags and such work.

 * Thanks for the reply – I will check out those sections and probably be back 🙂
 * For reference, I’m working on brownstonepark.com, and will try to use WordPress
   for the News section, allowing for two authors.
 * Then, I’ll pull in the last three or four posts onto the current home page using
   the RSS feed.
 * Make sense?

 * Yup, makes plenty of sense.
 * Here’s a bit on a “mini-loop” that could also bring posts to the front page. 
   RSS works too, just thought I’d toss out an option: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page#Adding_a_Mini-Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page#Adding_a_Mini-Loop)

 * Cool – thanks again. I’ll post an update once I’ve got something going.
