 * Further to Moshu’s W3 Schools link (and in addition to the codex docs), have 
   a look at the following sandbox theme –
 * [http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/](http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/)
 * The benefit to these minimalist type themes / skeleton structures when you are
   starting out in wordpress is they are very light on excess code – you shouldn’t
   have too much trouble seeing exactly what generates what on the final output.
   It has simple .css / .php files and the directory structure is fairly clean.
 * Don’t grab something like K2 or similar with lots of features for your first 
   few attempts at hacking up a theme. Also, don’t skip the learning – know css /
   html and at least some PHP before trying to work templates (W3 schools have everything
   you need).
 * Re Drawer / directory not writable – search the help / codex for CHMOD – your
   directory structure isn’t allowing write permissions for the web process / etc.

 * Moshu: Exactly! That’s what I’m looking for – to have a frontpage that dishonours
   the more tags.
 * So the overall site has / will have –
 * i) A page utilised as the front page that queries for a single post and displays
   it in full, excluding content in the “News” category for the site. Previous to
   this help post, content was as described above but was cutting at <!–more–>.
 * ii) custom archive page which is segregated post listings per category that shows
   excerpts, which I’m doing via some hacking of a template from plaintxt.org.
 * I think I just confused the issue with bad nomenclature. Apologies!

 * Michael,
 * Cheers for the info, I’ll build a page / page template and use it as the front
   page, that should get me exactly what I’m looking for here. Much appreciated.
 * Tomo.

 * Very ironic:

 * If they find the root cause of this problem then I’m set. I have the feeling 
   that if you don’t specify parms for the_content() it defaults to full output?

 * Mark,
 * Yeah, was thinking along those lines as well. Would probably be cleaner for what
   I have in mind. Creates a semi-compatibility issue though, if you are customizing
   the content to suit a specific configuration / theme / behaviour.
 * Re,
 * Tomo
