hehe with all due respect, I already said I was going to have a look at other themes to figure out what they have done..

And I have made some progress (not to mention that I am very new to this stuff [css and etc]) click here to see
after reading some blogs I could create a second sidebar, put a text widget in there… Changed the background pic to note.png (the yellow thingy) I know it is not perfect I still need to take the search thing out and create a new note.png picture to fit in that area properly…

well to create the second sidebar I did not need to do much coding (just a simple change functions.php and create sidebar2.php using the original sidebar.php codes and also the codes in css related to that one
HERE’s abit of what I changed in css
float : left;
width : 230px;
background : #ffffff url(images/note.png) no-repeat top right;
overflow : hidden;

As you can see the text widget is white in the photo.. had a read about “about me” plugin apparently it is possible to add a picture or background in there( a yellow background same color as the note.png will do I guess)
considering that I don’t know much about css and php, I’ve done some star, need to learn more about css tags so that I can implement it properly (wider content area for page and proper positioning for the sidebar)

esmi I would really really appreciate if you do not post anything else in here to discourage me

It should not really be hard to code the first part , as you can see the yellow note is jus a pic (clikc here to see) and I was thinking if in the sidebar.php, we can define a second column and position it on the left hand side of the site and put the picture on the second column (as you see on the sidebar(on the right) on the top there’s picture above search box)… Also wordpress has a text widget where you can write your stuff on it… So if I can create create a second column somewhow? and put the picture in there it would like like what you see in the photoshoped site… and this way I might be to add the text widget on it.. ive seen two column themes like this one RockinBizRed3Col 1.3 (columns on right and left sides of the site), have a look at their sidebar.php and css files might be able to figure out what they’ve done to have a second column

Found the answer for my first problem
Site Admin -> Settings -> Reading selected the Profile link as my posts page

but I still want to have paged post where I can browse through the post by clicking on the page numbers instead of clicking on previous entry or next entry

Sorry for the mistake .. Title should be How to have all the POSTS under one page

and also here should be read as
of stall holders in the market.. I have used the POSTS to create profiles ( i have taken out the commenting and author and blogging stuff from the php files)

thank you

Hi kapil

thank you so much.
I would like to remove those parts in the circle and put things that i want in the website.
My lecturer will be telling me tomorro what he requires me to put in the website, so I will post another entry in here to let you know.

thanks once again

hi there

i installed the wordpress CMS an d followed the steps given by perrydyse. however, i realised that the main page still looks like a blog. That was not what i was after. My assignment requires me to make the home page not look like a weblog. i have a link to what my page looks like at the moment:

https://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=24pcajl&s=5

Could anyone help me out as to how i can get rid of the items in the circle, coz i dont want those to show when a user visits the website – so basically just a normal looking website (without any blogs) –

i would appreciate any help
thanks
Jinal

cheers
