Wordpress question

Just search for a free WP theme that is close to or exactly what you want. There are a few 2 and 3 column setups out there and widgets in wordpress make it really easy to add/change things.

It will take some experimenting, just give it a shot.

In WordPress your selected Theme is essentially the equivalent of your page (technically the theme is used as a template to generate a page). Your theme has an associated style sheet that you can edit, either offline of from within the WordPress admin utility.

The editor in the admin utility is very basic, of course you mentioned you use Notepad so you should be comfortable with it! Personally I edit my theme files offline with a proper text editor (I use PS Pad), it's a lot easier.

You can also do work with Dreamweaver offline and then use the results to create your own WordPress theme. The site at WordPress.org has all the information you need to get started.

When yo are doing a Post in WOrdpress, you can look at it in standard mode or HTML... In HTML you can enter in any code you what... in the editor and your post will use it.

I do this all the time... Often I will design something in Dreamweaver and then change over to code view, grab the piece of code and drop it into the post I am working on....

This is a very handy feature....

Hope that helps you.

Have a Great Day!

If you haven't discovered it yet, you soon will: WordPress has some filters that over-ride some HTML that you insert in the HTML view.

The Raw-HTML plugin deals with this and gives you free rein to do what you like in the HTML view.

Here's a review of Raw-HTML:

Richard Whyte's solution is the most encouraged one. Adding to that, you may want to becareful of just one thing - the CSS. Remember, while you can add the CSS elements in the CSS file of yours, you may want to integrate them within the tags of your HTML content instead. Also, make sure you have studied your CSS file already before you clash any of the classess and/or ids.

One advice tyrowen, while it is good that you have the SEO skills and do not want to waste your time on web development, I personally would suggest to you that you do fork out a little bit of time understanding HTML and CSS basics. If you want to be a successful SEO, you must first understand the roots of web development first. Much of your SEO will involve a lot of web development understanding - trust me Of course, on the long run, when you are already expert in it, you do not have to focus much on it anymore - because you already know what it is and no one can fool you or rip you when doing business. Its web-based business, so we have to understand the "web" too

Cheers mate..and good luck..
