    Hi,
    Wordpress documenttation says a style.css and index.php is enough to create a theme.

    My query :-
    With this theme, will I be able to create new pages (using wordpress new page option) ..let’s say “About”, “Contact” etc with the look and feel as per the theme?

    cheers,
    -Sant

    Yup.

    Template_Hierarchy may help explain the magic of it all. 🙂

    Basically, yes.
    The only disadvantage is that you cannot have a different look for them, e.g. the comment form will be always there (which is a nonsense in the case of a contact Page, for example… <== but this might be my personal obsession!).
    The theme should work but you cannot customize anything.

    I believe you can still customize the theme, using constructs like ‘if is_home()’, ‘if is_page()’, ‘if is_category()’ etc.
    but the code will become too messy and hard to maintain.
