What page does what part 2
By Mike | January 19, 2007
This is the 2nd of 5 posts that will go over editing your theme and what the various pieces do to your blog. This should allow you to find the area you need to change to make your blog uniquely yours. This is based off the Word Press default theme and if you use a different theme it may have more or less options.
Popup comments - This page controls the look of the pop up box that is used for comments. It is well marked but care needs to be taken not to remove anything that actually adds the comment to your data base. Not something you are likely to want to edit and most of the look of it can be changed within the stylesheet as that carries throughout the blog.
Comments - This page formats how the comments are displayed. You may or may not even have a comments or commnet popup on a lot of themes. Most of the themes I use regularly do not and format the comments from the main template.
Footer - This will allow you to edit the footer of the site. In the default theme it just says powered by WordPress with a link back as their advertising. You may want to add your copyright there. Some free themes require you to maintain a link back to the designers site some don’t. Please be sure to read the comments in the page as to what the designer requires for your use of the theme.
Next time we’ll discuss functions.php, Header, Main Index Template.
If you have any questions on Word Press blogs or blogging in general that you would like to see addressed please leave a comment.
