Can Word Press work with the layout I already have

  • I need help with decideing if Word Press is the right software for me.

    Here is my idea:

    I wanted to fit WP or a blogging prog into into my design layout, I wanted the blogging to fit into a dark blue content box to the right of the sidebar. The area will be called “read all about it.” My blogs will primarily be use to update content for my fans of my latest news instead of hard codeing. I would likearchive the most recent blogs to the left in the sidebar below my main navigational links. Then anything past the point of recent would go to an archive page.

    I then want to devote an entire area of my site that you can get to through navigation that will be a collection of journals that myself and a few other writers will update with whatever we choose. That will be more blogging style but still want the overall look of my site to be the same. I want the banner at the top to be the logo of my site, not the titel of my new blog because it will be my site, the blogging will just be a better way of updaeting rather then hard codeing.

    Okay so thata€?s the layout.
    Here is the link to the template design I have right now: https://www.lonniebruhn.com/rearend/index.tml.html

    This tml is a design that was layed out by modified css for MT but I don’t think they’ll work out because its buggie and the worst support I have ever delt with, I just want to move on.
    Please rescue me, I can’t continue until I figure it out.

  • Yes, and yes, and yes, and yes, and maybe. It depends upon how familiar you are with PHP, XHTML, and CSS.

    You can find plenty of information on how to do a lot of this in the WordPress Codex at https://codex.www.remarpro.com.

    And this article might be of some value:

    I think you need Scenario #1 from this tutorial:

    I want to thank you two very much for replying. I have got no help from MT when I was trying to work with there stuff, I have had no replies frpm Mambo forum and Word Press is the firstto even help. I’ll look at all those links but I have to say that I tried installing WP last week and had errors. The error was that famous Mysql eror that I my login and password could be wrong or Mysql might be down. I configured everything right and still had the error so I gave up but maybe with some help I can get past that error.

    Thanks again

    Don’t worry, just post in another new thread about your install problems, and we’ll try to help you through the process. Many today happy users started with the “mysql” error ??
