This is to see if I can use basic html code for a headline

This is to show some body copy. And I wonder if I can do anything about the size of the “page title” type in css?

And I wonder if these Pages are RSS fed or pinged to search engines, etc.

In this first test, I am using “default template” from the Write a Page menu. That’s the “Page Template.” But I modified it to lose the sidebar and lose the footer.

That worked. Except, I have a narrow presentation and space where the sidebar normally would be. Somewhere I have to redefine from narrowcolumn to widecolumn. Need to find that and do it.

To fix that, I added “content2″ to the stylesheet and on the Page template told it to call “content2″ instead of “content”.

Leaves me with some weird padding problem on left side that I will figure out later. And I still have the gray background on the right side where the wrapper for the two columns fits. So need to find and kill that call, too, for Pages.

The “weird padding problem is actually nothing more than the body and header graphic not aligning. Not sure what is causing that.

Also, type is running too wide and off the page. So need to set some margins.

I also want to change the “hover” so that links show up as blue and underlined on Pages.
Just removed the hover stuff from css. So going to test a LINK right here.

And am wondering if I remove `php the_title(); ?> ` from the call, if I can have Pages show up with no title showing, so I can write my own headline in html in the content box? And have only that show on the Page. Would still have to GIVE the page a title, since that is the slug for the URL… And it needs to be a keyword and audience-targeted title. And it would be how I would know which Page was which in the Edit list under “Manage.”

Answer: YES. So for now, I have removed the title call from the Page Template.

But maybe I can get this so that I can actually use my simple mini-site pagemaker program to write each page (offline) and create the html by pushing one button and then paste it into the Write Page box in WordPress… ? I think so. Which then makes this an amazingly cool way to manage and generate multiple one-page sites on one server from one program, essentially.

Wonder if I need a separate css (stylesheet) for Pages altogether? Is that possible? I don’t think it is. I think each Theme can have only one css file.

Also, want to check and find out if Pages are automatically pinged to pingomatic or not as posts are when I publish them. And if not, how to do that?

And then I want to add the podz “call different header graphics” code and upload ONE to test that.

And, as soon as I’ve satisfied myself that this is do-able and useful, I want to recreate it all using default Kubrick and document each and every file/code change. (So that each time WordPress Upgrades, I can restore my customizations. And easier way to do that would be to rename the theme once I have all my customization done to it. And save it in a separate offline folder so it is easy to restore if corrupted. I THINK if if has a different name, then WordPress won’t change it each time I upgrade the WordPress installation. WordPress changes default because it comes with the installation. But it wouldn’t mess with anything that wasn’t part of the basic installation. I think.)

So that’s another project. Create my OWN theme with its own name. I’ve done that before, just haven’t renamed it once I’ve done that. So this time, once I’ve got it all perfected and have validated the code, name it and save it. May have to re-upload it at that point since I will have been doing this with a default install.
