 * ok for anyone else trying this, i’ve had to mess around with the
 * admin-functions.php, edit-form.php, edit-form-advanced.php and post.php to get
   the result i wanted.
 * it isn’t pretty because i was reluctant to remove things permanently or change
   things (even though i was working from backup files) but if you wantto pick and
   choose from the advanced and simple posting options in the ‘Write-post’ page 
   thats where to look.
 * The reason i did this is because i think the “Advanced Custom Fields” is very
   difficult to use quickly and efficiently, it is too far down the page, you have
   to select from a drop down menu…. it’s basically a pain all round. I’m dying 
   for someone to write a good wordpress desktop application that compares with 
   Livejournals SeMagic, where you can really customise it how you need and it can
   handle all features including plugins of wordpress in it’s own interface inclusively…
   but i’m just dreaming.

 * i actually want to edit the “write post” page in the admin section, so i can 
   change the layout, particularly to add my custom field as part of the simple 
   write-post page, (so i don’t have to have Advanced Feature showing, as i dont
   need most of them)
 * i have already read the codex page you’re linking to and it doesn’t cover what
   i’m interested in. i already know how to use and implement custom fields in my
   entries, that is not a problem. it’s the admin side i want to customise.

 * ok i’ve clarified ‘include’ is something like this:
 * `<?php get_header(); ?>`
    i’m thinkin i’ll put it somewhere in post.php
 * now i just need an idea of how to write a small .php module that will have a 
   one line input field that is my custom field “mymusic”.

 * it’s amazing how great it is to see three column sites marked as such! so much
   eaiser to peruse! I noticed the trident theme wasn’t marked as a 3 column theme,
   though
 * coincidentally it’s the trident theme i wish to ask about again… it’s by far 
   the closest to what i want, atleast i can imagine how in CSS i can change it 
   to what i’m looking for 🙂
 * that link to Nero’s trident theme [http://eretzvaju.org/download/devenir_en_gris/](http://eretzvaju.org/download/devenir_en_gris/)
   has me a bit confused though because it keeps switching themes.
 * the first version i saw amazed me:
    <img src=”[http://volupt.nu/temp/trident-b.jpg”&gt](http://volupt.nu/temp/trident-b.jpg”&gt);
   i like how the sidebar is split into two columns, it’s very light and ‘zen’.
 * but today when i visited i saw the actualy “trident” look:
    <img src=”[http://volupt.nu/temp/trident-a.jpg”&gt](http://volupt.nu/temp/trident-a.jpg”&gt);
 * i could find no reference to that first theme anywhere, but it really is an interesting
   solution to the 3 column idea. I’m curious if it is a downloadable theme or just
   Nero’s personal special 🙂 any ideas?
 * anyway i’ll probably stick to that Nero “fade to grey” take on “trident” i think
   it’s really elegant and simple and quite close to what i want in the end.

 * hmmm.. well i found the reference in footer.php of the classic layout for the
   sidebar. and since i want a very basic deal pretty much the exact same sidebar
   just with my content in it:
    my site here: [http://volupt.nu/index.php](http://volupt.nu/index.php)
 * i’m gunna have a go on my own 🙂 i bet i’ll learn heaps in the process.
 * i’ll also have a look at the above for tips and ideas and if need be scratch 
   and startover.
 * thanks for the fast responses and good suggestions guys!

 * 7seconden, thats an interesting idea! i’d never thought of that, and havent seen
   an example – can you show me one perhaps? i’d assume i’d need to put static content
   into it though, keep the content separate? i have no idea…
 * haha raianoat, you’re right it isn’t what i want to hear 😉 but i’ll keep it 
   in mind as i get more desperate!
 * i’m not afraid to get into PHP in fact thats what i want to do, get in there 
   and understand it all. anything that can be broken can be fixed… except me… i’m
   still shattered…
 * but where is the reference that puts sidebar.php into action? i can’t find it
   anywhere…. i thought it would be in index.php… apparently not!

 * yeah, as the post shows, it’s got my own database name, username and password
   in the wp-config.php and has no problems with reading any of those.
 * it just can’t find the database i’ve names “volupt2_blog”, which does exist has
   been created and MySQL says is fine… but as i say, i know nothing about creating
   a database, perhaps i’m missing something on the MySQL panel…?
