  • Okay – first of all, your site was taking forever and finally timed out. So I can’t see anything.

    But here are some links that will help you learn about building custom themes. That’s the only way you can change the look of your blog…

    Premade Themes: https://themes.wordpress.net – you can try to find something close to what you want, and then modify it.

    Hrvoje–
    So you want your blog to look like a sales letter? I’m confused–your main page looks good as far as your copy and the style of sales-letter you have, but what is your goal on your blog? Do you want the same fonts? Do you want the same colours? Please clarify! ??

    Again I tried to get to your site, and again it timed out on me.

    Sorry, but no one can be of any help to you if we can’t see what you’re talking about.

    Your best bet would be to check out the links I gave you and try to figure it out for yourself – but ONLY after you fix whatever issues you’re having with your site right now…

    I think your site looks pretty good too. What are you trying to achieve?

    I think what he’s trying to say is that he wants to port his HTML site design to WordPress.

    What you want to do is study themes such as the WordPress Standard Theme and Kubrick (the blue roundish theme) that is included with every WordPress download.

    Take a look at what the functions do and stuff, research on the codex, and then what I do is I make a copy of Kubrick, delete all the files that are special to Kubrick, then copy and paste your HTML design in, and then fill in the spaces where content is supposed to be. After an hour or three you’re done.

    Hope this helped.

    I have no problem viewing your site.

    You basically want to build yourself a custom theme. You’ll stick everything you have right now for your site into a folder in wordpress/wp-content/themes/yourthemefolder, and then replace the body part of your index.php file with a wordpress loop. There’s more to it than that, but I’m talking big picture here. You can use lady’s links for more specific info.

    If you look at an existing theme, you’ll see standard website stuff, but with specific items replaced with php calls. You can hard code some of those if you like, your title for example. Some of those items are replaced with php calls so that you can change their values within the wordpress admin area and they’ll instantly be reflected on the site without going in and editing the theme. If you want to do this for yourself, and not release it as a proper theme, you can get away with not doing a lot of those php calls.

    The bare essential stuff you need on your webpage is a main loop and a sidebar for blog navigation. Again, more to it than that, but designing a theme for wordpress isn’t that different that what you’ve already done.

    Plenty of people who design themes don’t understand php. It’s all pretty cut and paste. Nothing to be intimidate by.

    Consider this post more of a pep talk than technical advice.

    Still can’t see the site…

    why are spam, hijack and modlook tags added to this thread?

    I didnt add them but I can see how the site might lend ppl to believe that this thread is intended to capture traffic. It IS a “spam-ish” site, after all.

    I should add that it is especially spammy when it pops up asking me why am I leaving when I click one of my bookmarks to leave. Thats REALLY uncalled for.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="exitpage.js"></script>
    <body onUnload="if(!window.exitBlock)window.location.assign('https://www.ecoverslab.com/fedback.htm')">

    thats some shitty ass code.

    I didn’t add the tags either – but I too can see why someone might’ve.

    Hell, the original poster hasn’t even come back here…

    So do y’all think we ought to close this thread?

    Well, all I know is that spammers should really put the h ttp:// bits in there if they want a link google will read. ??

    vkaryl, the OP has received advice. If he/she’s acted on it, great, if not, oh well. I guess the thread’s done whether you close it or not.

    Well, all I know is that spammers should really put the h ttp:// bits in there if they want a link google will read. ??

    ..assuming they were looking for pagerank and not just looking to generate traffic (which they succeeded in doing)

    and wow! that n/a pr this thread has .. it’d sure be a doozy to get an outgoing link from!!

    I’d say remove it. The O.P. hasn’t come back lately..and the more it just sits here, the more exposure it’s getting..

    But, I could be wrong though..they might just.. not be online alot of the time like *most* of us are, and prolly just made a possible mistake adding that javascript code.. Who knows though..

    But, +1 for removing it though.. ??
