  Ok, to start off, I don’t know much about code, so please answer in a way I understand. :-)

  I want to make a portfolio using WordPress, that when you scroll your mousewheel down, the site has to scroll sideways instead of the usual vertical scrolling.

  My purpose is: My site needs to be one big and long drawing, so the moment you start to scroll, you will see more of the drawing.
  So I don’t need a header, or a menu or the stuff you normally see on a website.

  Can this be done in WordPress and do I need a lot of code for it ?
  Do I have to use a plugin ? Also I have no idea how to install plugins.
  This one comes close http://demo.virtuti.info/ship/index.html# , but it’s not exactly what I had in mind.

  I Googled some sites that scoll horizontal, and I found an example of what I want to accomplish. Something like this: http://www.rleonardi.com/interactive-resume/

  Thanks

  This is an empty WordPress.com blog http://kennethbuekenhout.wordpress.com/ and that makes me wonder if you are not referring to a WordPress.ORG software install because the two are very different.

  Plugin installation possible only if you hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up a WordPress.ORG install. http://wordpress.org

  There is no FTP access to WordPress.COM blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins or third party themes.

  There is no other upgrade you can purchase here at WordPress.COM that changes that reality.

  WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Thanks for the fast reply.

  The site doesn’t exist yet, that’s why I left it blanc.

  I starded one here: http://portfoliokennethbuekenhout.wordpress.com/ with a .com domain. But it’s for testing only.

  My apologies if I asked a wrong question, I had no Idea this couldn’t be done. I was in the impression that WordPress could be designed as one pleases.

  So if it can’t be done, this topic can be removed.

  Thanks anyway :-)

  One can hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up their own wordpress.ORG software install and do as one pleases. That’s not the case here at WordPress.COM, which is a turnkey operation for those who do not code. Here one can purchase annually renewable upgrades that will allow some limited CSS editing and that’s it.

  See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom and CSS editing:
