Johnns 0 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hey guys, first of all I would like to thank you again for helping me last time with my wordpress problem. i have my layout all worked out, and its xhtml /css valid. but since i dont want to cut it into pieces again with a footer, header, sideline etc for wordpress i was wondering if i could just insert the wordpress "tags" in my complete index.php perhaps you could help me a bit with adding some tags too my layout, because i dont seem to get it right. (much appreciated) this is how the layout looks in firefox/internet explorer. down below you can see my source. the items in the left menu (besides the one like homepage, archief, over ons, adverteren and contact) can be added and edited with the wordpress admin.)

TCH-Bruce 16 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 You would do better using the theme layouts header, footer and sidebar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCH-Rob 0 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I have resized your image and added it to the bottom of your post. That thing was huge and would kill our dial-up friends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCH-Tim 0 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I would have to agree with Bruce. Cut it up and make it a theme with the standard pieces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCH-Bruce 16 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Maybe I should say why I said to stick to a theme with pieces. Main reason: Wordpress is a work in progress, upgrading to a newer version you are going to have problems. Reason 2: It's easier to maintain and edit. You aren't doing anything special that hasn't been done with a zillion other themes out there for WP. Reason 3: You can play with your design just by copying your theme folder to another theme folder and make any adjustments you like to your sidebar, footer, header and css. And change them as often as you like. Maybe you might want to make some color changes or offer alternate themes to your visitors with the theme switcher. One other comment. You are making a lot of work for yourself hard coding your links and categories into your sidebar when Wordpress creates them so easily on it's own. Adding a new link or category is simple in the Admin panel and you don't have to edit a single file. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
