    I just set up two wordpress blogs. I’m contacting designers to create and install a custom template for both sites. The same template one both.

    For more, see the related post at launchscout.com

    Ron you can do it yourself

    Go into wp
    Templates
    just under <body> on index.php place

    <?php
   include ("../includes/headers/header.html");
   ?>
    Code (markup):
    for example

    and the header should be something like

    ........<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.xxx.com/graphics/stylesheets/xxx_style.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<center><center><table width="730" class="outer">
            <tr>
               <td>
               <table width="728" class="middle">
               <tr>
               <td>
                 <table width="726" class="inner">
               <tr>
    Code (markup):
    and that will centre an place a border around with 3 colours when you finish off with a footer placed just after the last <div> like

    <?php
   include ("../includes/footers/footer.html");
   ?>
    Code (markup):
    and use css to place any images :)

    or even better, go to alexking.org - loads and loads of free good quality templates...

    also, simply keying in "wordpress template styles" into google yields more than you have time to browse... :)

    Thanks

    I’ve found at least fifty different styles including all at alexking.org. I need something original. I’m learning the wordpress interface day by day. That is enough for me with out getting into the design elements.

    I could do it myself, but I would sooner write.



    PS enjoy the game.

    Check out templatemonster to get started. At least they have an idea. If you can't find anyone here and your other options are limited, go to rentacoder and see if someone that you like doesn't respond.

    All you need to do is change the CSS of the existing site normally...

    THE WP default is so flexible, that you can pretty much do most things without having to hack around too much...

    FYI - I just realised that I'd put a small list of wordpress templates at my forum the other day...

    You should be able to hack around with most of the ones listed there quite easily...

    Thanks for the replies.

    When I first started making sites I learned html. Now that is not enough.

    Like I said, I think my time is better spent writing. A good designer can give me a better design anyway.

    I haven’t decided on anyone yet so the job is still available. There is opportunity to work on my entire network of sites, but I don’t pay very well.
