Doing it my way, or am I misleaded?

    Hello,
    I am a newbie when it comes to blogs.
    I do know XHTML and CSS pretty well and enough PHP/MySql to understand globally how WordPress works and not to be afraid to tweak it here and there.
    Don’t get me wrong, I don’t know much about WordPress, I only downloaded it a few days ago. And I must say I find it hard to get the information I want. It may very well be that I’m not looking at things the right way.
    I want to use my current design (blog independent) which is 100% valid XHTML1.1 & CSS. I wish I could have WordPress output XHTML 1.1 but I could settle for 1.0 strict.
    My idea is to simply use function calls I find in WordPress files (like index.php) and incorporate them where appropriate in my own file(s).
    It seems simpler to me than having to work around the current index.php or wp-comments , etc. I already have a solid set of CSS files and like my naming convention.
    I hope I am clear enough and you can tell me if this would be totally crazy (counter-productive) or simply not viable (future-proof).
    Thanks.

  • Look at wp.php and the loop

    Yeah, get a good understanding of the loop and you can do whatever you want to with the aid of mod_rewrite. Just save a copy of the basic index.php for your records. Lord knows that most peoples WP install is hacked up like an axe murder site. Keep in mind though that it makes it hard to upgrade in the future.
