Much appreciate detailed reply. Since I am starting a web site from scratch, it seems I could begin it as a vanilla WP site and then add WP Pages for the rest of it. I need a strong Q&A section which WP can do, while I do the rest.
Your being able to study statistically how your site is used, and to respond with changes that help visitors to your site, is excellent. My impressions of the WP community have gone up quite a few notches with your assistance.
Thanks again Ken,
David
