  Hi there,

  I’ve just done a WordPress install after reading numerous great things about it and it does seem to offer some great features.

  The long term plan is to use it for a portfolio site, only a simple one.

  My question is this:

  Do I need to know php to achieve my goal? Will I pick up what I need to know through customizing my WordPress site, or is it a better option to learn a solid foundation in php coding before I start playing around in WordPress?

  I’m fluent in XHTML and CSS but I know zero php. I mean, I understand the (very) basics of how it works, but I don’t know the first thing about writing it.

  Thanks

  Tom
