so i guess that for external links, i’ll just link to my root and the php page that’s in there. yes?

bestfoot, great site, i’ll read more on it. as for using wordpress as cms, i’ve managed to do it. i’ll go figure the fold_page_menu pluggin

ming, thanks for the input. i understand now.

and all, thanks for the input. it really helps give direction.

ok, i don’t think i fully understand your answer because i’m very new to this. i’ll streamline my questions to something very specific. the answer to this will help me understand what i need to understand. the first question is:

let’s say i have a home.php page that i create from notepad. let’s say the code inside is the same as links.php i.e.

<?php
/*
Template Name: HOMEPAGE THAT GIVES EXTERNAL LINKS
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content” class=”widecolumn”>

<h2>Links:</h2>

<?php get_links_list(); ?>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

i understand all the code above. i just don’t know how to put a function in index.php that will call up home.php as the front page.

the other thing that would be helful to know is:

how can i connect the ‘articles’ icon to link to ‘pages’ that i write? what do i write to if i want the articles to correspond to the pieces i write.

(this is because if possible, this photoblog would have stories as well as the pictures that tell them… but these stories are more like reports on gatherings, events, and less like a journalistic post.)

any idea?

hey tboley,

i like your site alot. simple and chic. however, do you think you could elaborate on your installation instructions?
for example i know what a static page is if i write a html page, but what do you mean in your case? really appreciate some kind of elaboration. thanks.

hello, i’m a amatuer at this, and this thread has made things so much easier for me. thank you.

i have succeed into showing images at their original size. i want to confirm if what i did (after interpreting what was written above) was correct, and if i did anything extraneous.

other less technologically inclined participants could also read the following steps and the comments that follow for a detailed description on HOW.

for those more technologically inclined, do comment on the following steps to allow images to be shown at their original size. i know it’s not the best way, and your comments would help a burgeoning strata of wordpress users like me : )

here goes:

1) find inline-uploading.php at htdocs/wp-admin/inline-uploading.php
2) open it in notepad and replace the content with what preset has provided on this page: http://proforma.preset.de/wordpress/inline-upload/rdg_inline-uploading.php.txt
3) now, upload the image as you would your wordpress admin panel. after uploading, drag the pic into the textbox where you usually write your posts. the image will be resized.
4) next, click on the HTML icon to edit the html code. a new window will open up.
5) in the code, change three things: a) change image.thumbnail.jpg to image.jpg; b) change the height=”xyz” to the original height; c) change the width=”zyx” to the original width.

that’s it. comments pls.

i’ve 2 questions in the similar realm as dan’s that is perhaps easier to solve.

1) i want to add an img src code in my posts that are linked to an images in my folder. in my case, that’s …/blog/images/ (i.e. i created an image folder to throw images in. however, what’s the preceeding adjunct to the path.

2) i want to post a banner for my template, which is on a TROPICAL BREEZE theme – the banner is blank and i HAVE TO FILL IT UP. but i don’t know where to start finding where to place the image.

thank you in advance for helping too.
