So WordPress was designed for a single user only, you cannot create users without a plug-in?

noooooo, that’s not what I said. You have different levels of access rights (subscriber, author, editor, manager). But IIRC authors can edit each others posts and comments to those posts. If that’s not a problem for you, then there’s no problem using WordPress as CMS.

About the themes: Joomla’s learning curve is a bit less steep, I guess (the actual coding), but the look and feel is for both the same (css, the colors and fonts and stuff).

The artistic freedom in WordPress however is so much better. And of course the millions of free themes that you can download and customize. Joomla’s templates are almost never for free.

Did you read this?

Have a look at this

1- How easy it is to create a template in WordPress, easer then Joomla?

In my experience it’s equal in effort, but if you want extra granularity (different looks on different parts), then you’re better of using WordPress

2- Are themes different then templates?

Two words, unfortunately used in a mixed way, describing the same.
Theme is the name used in the theme directory ( 🙂 ), however in the database the theme directory is called a template. I would go for theme 🙂

3- Is there any limitations in the design part or you can prety much convert any design into a WordPress template even if the web site is not intented to be used as a blog?

I’ve seen WordPress used as a CMS (for the looks, by default WordPress lacks some backend CMS functionality, which however can be mitigated by plugins, which I never used, btw).

How do you know these thumbnails are inserted through Custom Fields?

Custom fields are part of a post/page, why not create 4 thumbnails in your xhtml?

Peter

In your style.css file, search for this:

#header span {
color:#111111;
font-size:11pt;
padding:0;
}

Change the value after color to something different (I suggest #fff).

#header span {
color:#fff;
font-size:11pt;
padding:0;
}

I’m a bit in a time squeeze now (since I have to leave for work, but will be back online in 45 minutes), but I’ll describe the procedure

If you start phpMyAdmin, you’ll be presented the databases on the left hand side (probably just one, otherwise choose your database). Then the left sidebar will show your tables. If left default, all start with wp_.

At that point the main view will have several tabs, choose SQL and enter the command I gave above (still assuming wp_ is your table prefix).

Another option is to click the wp_options table (left side), and then ‘Browse’ in the main pane.

Browse for ‘template’ and ‘stylesheet’, and edit the option_value to show ‘default’.

There is something about MySQL on my control panel

What are your options here?
