Thanks! My issue is that you can't use custom templates on blogs hosted by Wordpress; you have to use the ones that Wordpress provides. Now, if you write a good template, and get Wordpress to adopt it on the .com site, then you can use it on a hosted blog.<br><br>And I think I'm capable of writing the html and css files to build a template. What I can't do is figure out the MySQL and php stuff to host my the blog myself, which is what you have to do if you want to use custom themes. In other words, I could build it, but I can't use it until I can figure out how to host it myself, and not with <a href="http://wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">wordpress.com</a> (which is a separate, less geek-oriented site than <a href="http://wordpress.org" rel="nofollow">wordpress.org</a>, which has all the developer and source code info).JandyWed, 14 Jun 2006 18:03:00 -0000http://www.the-frame.com/blog/2006/06/13/rant/#comment-1748827Did you look at all the wordpress docs? <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Templates" rel="nofollow"><br>This page</a> on templates seems useful.<br><br>It would seem to me that, in theory, CSS should give you everything you need to make a custom theme.RobertWed, 14 Jun 2006 16:34:00 -0000
