What page does what part 4?
By Mike | January 22, 2007
This is the 4th 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.
Links - This is a page that you don’t see in a lot of the available themes. It is set up simply to show a page of links and formats the page for the diaply within the main table instead of the sidebar. It pulls almost all pieces from other files so should not normally be edited.
Page Template -This is very similar to the Main Index Template iin that it pulls the various pieces together to create the page. Some templates will not have this file and create the pages off of the Main Index Template but if your theme does you can use this to customize the page and make it look different than the post pages.
Search Results - This controls the look of the page returned when using the search results function. It can be edited but only if you are comfortable with php commands because it draws in adn dispays the results from your data base.
Next time we’ll discuss searchform.php, Sidebar and Single Post.
If you have any questions on Word Press blogs or blogging in general that you would like to see addressed please leave a comment.
