Find any u like and ftp them to yr site.

The most efficient – and least used – method is to use SVN.

You very rarely need to query posts or the db. Certainly not for what you are doing. WP packages all http requests, queries the mysql db, and stores the output in a global variable which is of course an array. It then passes the request to the relevant theme template page using the template hierarchy. Requests to the domain are routed to home.php if it exists. The template then accesses the global and displays the data.

SO: In home.php all you need go is access the global variable array by looping thru it which u can do one or more times. In addition there are template tags which are shortened if used inside the loop. These are used for each element in an instance in the array.

In summary: From what u said: Running the loop is a different operation from running a db query. Its all in the Codex documentation.

Of course. Just add the extra greetings into comments.php
