    Is it possible (and roughly how) to split a pages posts up within each page.

    I’ll explain, I have a site design where on the first (and possibly subsequent) that have multiple sections on them. Each section is a seperate topic/article etc. which is styled to display in a certain order, What I want to know is the process of how to use wordpress as a cms for this type of design.

    An example of the layout/design (although not this one but similar layout) can be seen here: https://osc2.template-help.com:8081/stretced_15717/#

    Just good old theme design.

    First you have to get familiar with WP; otherwise any advice will sound “greek” to you.

    Is developing sites using it not one method of getting familiar with it? I’m sure if an answer was given then I could have a go at understanding it and if/when any parts I cant understand im sure that I can either work them out or see if an answer already lies within the forum.

    I can do design/modify code etc, just want tips in terms of what is the best approach ie use pages vs categories posts etc. and how to differentiate between each post on the same page (so they can be styled)

    Any help is appreciated.. I wouldnt be asking the question if I thought it would be impossible for me to understand the answers. I prefere to learn by working on an example and this is what I am trying to do.

    It always starts with asking meaningful questions ??

    On first what?
    In WP the “first page” is index.php of your theme. For what you want you’ll have to develop your own theme.
    Theme_Development

    Each section is a seperate topic
    That would, probably, be “categories” in WP terms.

    to display in a certain order
    The_Loop

    Also, consider to take a look at the many themes at
    https://themes.wordpress.net
    there are a few that have similar – posts in two column – layout; e.g. hemingway and all its flavours…

    Sorry I forgot to type pages after the brackets.

    Thanks for your help now I know what sections to look at to get on with learning WP.
