Hello All! Back in the day, I used to use Microsoft Frontpage for my web design needs. Now I am trying to create a Wordpress site. I have seen tons of themes out there and went thru alot of tutorials but I still havent found any program, something like a WYSIWYG page designer. My biggest challenge is CSS. I dont know how to place items on WP without a WYSIWYG program. Any suggestions? Oh, and I tried Artisteer and I didnt find it very flexable. Thanks in advance for any help or ideas!
If you want 100% flexibility you need to learn CSS and hand coding not just using WYSWYG editor. WP themes requires some PHP knowledge too, so it is difficult (maybe impossible) to make WP themes with just using WYSWYG editor.
there is no WYSWYG editor for making wordpress themes, You have to touch the codes in one way or another. You will also need to know the codes or template tags used by wordpress, otherwise it won't work.
thanks for the replies so far. what if i want to move things around like where the post is actually displayed on the page, etc... how do you position this type of thing? do you need CSS? or is there an easier way? Thanks in advance.
yes, CSS is the way to go. BTW css is easier to handle. Just go through the codes and you will be able to understand it quickly. I can help you with it, if you need....
