 * OK…… I’ll see if I can get my head around that… thanks for the help. Could you
   help me with one other thing…?
 * I’ve just tried to create a page using the ‘bio’ thingy as a template – but none
   of the text I typed in is being displayed. Is there a tag I need to insert to
   pull text into it?
 * Second, can I type css straight into the page creation area of wordpress and 
   will it display correctly – or does the CSS for tables need to be part of either
   the template or style sheet?

 * I see that the #rap is being pulled in as past of the ‘header’….does that mean,
   in order to get a clean page, that I need to create a second ‘header’ that excludes
   that?

 * This – [http://www.davidcoltart.com/cv/](http://www.davidcoltart.com/cv/) – is
   the result of a ‘template’ I created (dropping the sidebar as suggested above).
   I find it hard to belive that the convoluted way I’ve approached this correct–
   surely its easier….? And I’m a logn way from being where I need to be.
 * First I did as you suggested – and dropped the sidebar. My ‘template’ (I use 
   the word advisedly) has code that looks like this:
 * > `<?php
   >  /* Template Name: Bio */ ?>
   > <?php 
   >  get_header();
   > ?>
   > <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   > <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   >  <?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.');?
   > >
   > <?php endif; ?>
   > <?php 
   >  require('footnoside.php'); ?>
 * It calls ‘footnoside’ – yup! a footer without a sidebar – so I can get the bottom
   border in. And that looks like this:
 * > `</div>
   >  <?php  require('sidebarbio.php'); ?>
   >  <div style="clear:both;height:1px;"></div>
   >  <?php do_action('wp_footer', ''); ?>
   >  <div class="footer">&nbsp;</div> </div
   > >
   >  </body>
   >  </html>
 * And that calls sidebarbio – which was bizarre way of trying to get some text 
   over the blue bit (which I can’t lose. And that looks like this:
 * > `<div id="menu">
   >  some text </div>
 * Surely it isn’t this complicated………
 * I’m getting wrapped up in knots.
 * UPDATE: If I use the ‘bio’ file as a templte it doesn’t work – nothing I type
   into the create page area is displayed in the template…….?
