Lots of sites made with tables.. need wordpress im

I don’t know about DW, but if you could give us a link, I’m sure help would follow !

I have the same problem. My site is already running with B2, which I made using tables, and just copy/pasting the php tags.
I know very few of CSSs and i make my site in DW. Is there a easier way to customize my layout? Is there an index.php for WordPress without CSS, just the tags?
Here is my site

That site – with my lack of CSS layout issues notwithstanding – looks perfect for Trident. Just a few tweaks maybe … Root ?

Trident and Gemini looks great, and I’m trying to design my weblog with them, but a just php tags file would be a lot more helpful for that who doesn’t know anything of CSS like me. That would allow us to use tables.
Just as example, I’m using Gemini to set a weblog for a friend of mine. I’ ve spent about 10 hours on it by now, and it isn’t like I want yet. I am sure I could do the same layout using tables in no more than an hour.

The file wp.php is the closest you are going to get to a raw wp interface. If you havent seen it check it out. It is in the install.

Thanks Root! I just had a quick look at this wp.php. I think this is what I need. cheers.

so wp.php would be the best way for me to implement my news into this design?

(its for a friend btw ?? )

That file must be one of the least known parts of WP. It is very handy for a lot of folks who want to do fancy layouts to integrate with other templates.

karenjg, it seems we are sharing the same problem. I understand what you mean, and I like CSS for customizing texts and colours. However, if you aren’t a CSS guru, it’s impossible set in your site the layout you want. That’s why I’d rather tables. I use lots of images on my site and I always changing the positioning of them, that’s crazy if i do that with CSS. Makes no sense. But for text and colours CSS rules.

hmm just looked at wp.php
it seems that i could just include that into my design using a simple php include…
but then if users click the news title the page with just one story on would be messed up wouldnt it?
i guess id have to edit wp.php to include my site headers and stuff?

If anyone needs some CSS help when starting WP I’ll give it a bash.
(I’m no great CSS person but I’d love to help people who are starting out)

If you are not a CSS positioning *guru* you can always try a custom made interface like The Gemini Interface which is an alternative, fixed width, page centred, front end for WP. No CSS positioning is needed.

yeah, of course i can use a ready template, but i want use mine.
I understand your passion about CSS guys, but I think it would be better to WORDPRESS if it was the user choice. By now I have no choice, I must use CSS. Free will, just that.

There is absolutely nothing preventing you from putting your site together any way you want.
