Help with theme / setup

  • Hello all,

    This is my 1st post so be nice ??

    The problem that I am having with my website here is that the template seems to be set up for blogs and i want this to be a proper website not a blog.

    I was using Joomla previously but that got hacked resulting in having to start agian and I was pointed towards WordPress for making a better site.

    I know little about coding and the bits i have managed on my site is making the site wider in the CSS, removing a few side catagories and putting in the sponsor banners.

    What i really really want to do is when i click ne catagory (or page) then you can make sub sections that appear below it only when you click on that section.

    e.g https://img198.imageshack.us/img198/1733/examplew.jpg”

    If this can be done can someone please help me

    Also wen i add an adbrite box to the right sidebar it messes all the theme up in IE and makes some of the text take on links to adbrite site

    how do i put the banner in without messing the theme up?

    Regards

    Richard

  • I would suggest looking at several themes and starting with one that is close to what you want. For example, the iNove theme already provides a horizontal nav menu with drop-down items for subpages. Regardless of what theme you start with though, you will need to get into the code and do some hacking if you want to remove the “blog” look.

    For sub-section link, I think WP-dTree is your choice

    Hi,

    I have changed my theme to iNove as it was better for the sub menus and adbrite coding ??

    but it does look pretty plain and boring so im trying to edig it and make it look nicer.

    Im still stuggling to find the file for adding my meta tags too. can someone point me in the right direction.

    also can i get some critism about my site and tell me what you think i should change etc. (the friend that helped me set it up but wont help me make the site says it all needs changing)

    regards

    Richard

    I think “Top Header” should be changed
