WordPress Themes and ‘Categories’
Man, I thought that changing around a few pictures/text orientations would be easier.
But maybe it’s a good thing that it isn’t. I mean, at least the ‘theme’ consists of a bunch of php (!) and css files that you can hack about with - that’s power to the user, which is good.
But it means that you have to have
- Knowhow
- Time
Still, 50% there.
The other thing is this whole ‘categories’ thing. Stop me if I’m wrong, but gmail came out well over a year ago now. I know that there a lot of people who have missed the significance this rightly has on how we store and find things, but I can’t believe that this evolutionary cul-de-sac still has such prominence…
FILTERS, people.
Hopefully there’s a plug-in for it.

Hmm. at least you can assign multiple categories, it seems.

I’ve skinned WordPress before, and it isn’t as hard as it seems. As long as you can write the page in html, making a theme out of it’s fairly straightforward. Mostly stuff goes in the head and tail files, and the css file.
Just remember to keep a copy of the base skin you’re working from, and to alter your skin’s metadata correctly.

I want to play about with width flexibility, too.
You got a link for the WP site you’ve skinned?
