    if you say:

    “”the only file that changes between sites is your wp-config.php, all of the variability of a site is from the database. “”

    then that tells me what I need to know, doesn’t it? I’ve written PHP for quite a while, so I could just look in the config file and modify what I need when I move files from one domain to another, couldn’t I? that’s exactly what it sounds like I can do. yes? if the ”variability” is from the database only, then obviously the content and styling are being pulled from there. so it doesn’t matter what domain or directory WP files are moved to because the database will remain in the same place along with all its specs. sound right to you?

    so are you referring to all of the db records that are created when someone ”creates, modifies, deletes or updates” [postings]?? because there is one single table that houses all of that activity. or are there other recs somewhere else in the DB that have to be changed as well? and WHAT exactly has to be changed? when a post is rendered on a WP site, I believe there are only 1 -3 PHP files that play a role in generating the content on the page, as it is pulled from the DB. correct? because if that is the case, why would they have to be changed? the only things that are needed to capture DB content are these:

    – ip
    – un
    – pw
    – rec #
    – fields of content

    what does “”serialization””, as you put it, have to do with this?

    well I understand that modifying the source is generally not needed because WP is packaged in a way that is pretty easy to change via an interface. However, I may get to a point where I want a heavily customized site, and I just want to use WP as a free starter kit to get an idea of an architecture. that cuts down significantly on time and thinking if I want to create my own software. thanks.

    thanks so much Steven. but one question….why not modify code? what’s wrong with that?
