Thanks for your insight. Didn’t think of searching.

Er, I think you’ve misread my question!

Thanks for this code – exactly what I was looking for!

Anyone?

Thank you very much for your reply, Dgold. I have since licked the get custom field with both your help and further searches. It really is the answer I’ve been looking for and am very excited about it!

Thank you once again.

Thanks. That’s a very good question you raise! I have a backlog of log entries to migrate from my website that go back a few years. I need to add these and change the dates to reflect when they were originally written.

Unless there is a plug-in that does this?

Hmmm, thought I recognised it. Ta.

Oooops, just discovered the ability to change page template. Apologies!

Sorry – to make this more simple what I am asking is this:

Is it not possible, when creating a page or post, to just say ‘use template A for this page’ or ‘use template B for this page’?

BTW, moshu, thanks for that link. I think that could be the ticket for me to get to know WP. Many thanks.

OK, perhaps I should have asked the other question first!

How much flexibility is there with WP? Having been used to programming I like total control. Do I get that with WP? For example: I like to position images exactly where I want them, at whatever size I like. I like to add certain columns to certain pages. Some sections of the website might not require a three-column lay-out. Some columns might have a green background, some a blue one. Is WP flexible like that?

As you can see one of my problems is that I couldn’t even complete the famous five minute installation to see what WP is all about. I assumed that I had to have .PHP running on my machine in order to do this. Is the five minute installation for ftping directly onto a hosted server?
