…..that makes sense to me, but I’m not getting any output at all with that
?

Thanks for the response – I’ve been digging around and got to a point where I’m faced with a few decisions before I make a start…..

Given that I’m aiming at developing a ‘website’ style site that uses wordpress for CMS (as opposed to a ‘blog’ style site), i’m not sure if I should…

a, Create a fully independent website and populate it with query includes from the wordpress db.
b, Pick a theme that I like the look of and edit it if need be.
c, create a totally blank theme and write a site around it.

I guess option ‘a’ would be the most work intensive and would bypass a lot of the wordpress functionality – I would simply be using WP as a sql database.

Option ‘b’ would probably get me going quicker, but, for a decent site I would probably have to fork out for a premium theme – and I would have to manipulate it myself to get a unique feel or just leave it as is.

Option ‘c’ I guess, would give me the benefits of total WP functionality, but I would have to get to grips with WP coding.

What do people generally do?
