I am using WP to build a web site. I note that studying how to do certain things like moving a sidebar from right to left of page they always show HTML to do it etc. Is there a way to build using the WYSIWYG format? Curious.
Since it's written in PHP, that depends on what you're using to build it and what you're trying to do, but the rule of thumb is that for PHP sites, the "WYS" part occurs between your ears - you see the code and "see" the site it will create.
I am not using this on my site, but it may be something for you to consider, the "Genesis Framework", not a theme, but an easier to use framework. As I said, I have no personal experience with this, but it may give you what you want.
