New to WordPress, Got few questions please help

  • Unknown's avatar

    hey all. I’m a decent designer + xhtml/css coder but very new to CMS.

    I’ve designed and coded a site it’s uploaded at:
    http://anothera.net/v2/mockup/index.html

    and I have attempted to use wordpress with it here:
    http://anothera.net/v2/

    what im having trouble with is that I have no idea how to insert posts under News and Archive headings. And also the Tags and Popular headings on the sidebar.

    Also how i coded it is like – i broke it to 4 pieces, header.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php. for the index, I only want these Exhibition/news/archives specifically for the Home page. I left all of that code in the index.php. Is that the right thing to do? For eg. I wouldnt want Exhibitions for the Artists page.

    Another thing is the fonts… For example I tried to change the <h1 class=”storytitle”>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
    to H1 which is set on my stylesheet as having 16px font, but it does not change at all.

    Ive searched a lot of tutorials, and tried to go through it but frankly its too much reading when I only need help with these things. Plus the help on the official wordpress site is pretty confusing.

    Cheers for any help!!

    You’re in the wrong forum and need to be at WordPress.ORG, in accordance with the sticky thread at the top of the forum on the differences between the two kinds of WP.

    ok, i posted over there too, but they havent replied its been quite a while, so im trying my luck here.

    any other good forums?

    Just the one. They’re not as quick as we are, but our answers won’t apply to you so no point asking over here. We don’t even have access to the php.

    The problem with asking here is that we use different software and don’t have access to things like the php files. So I’m afraid we won’t be able to help you. I don’t know where else to suggest.
