Fresh Squeezed Posts: 32 Joined: 14-February 08	Hi Guys I’m looking for someone to do some php editing on a wordpress blog. I have asked for help to do it myself but not had any productive help on where to start and I don’t have that much time to be looking round the net for tutorials. The original topic is here. Basically I need to modify an existing posting page or create a new one. I want the posts to be displayed like this http://www.vanman.co.uk/ or something similar to that. I want to use a 3 column blog with a fixed width rather than one the stretches. I don’t have much of a budget so little to no money would be a bonus. I’ve been told it’s not a very big job. PM me for more details. Cheers

Wordpress is not a CMS, it is a blog:D As I mentioned in your post on the topic you should use a CMS where mods to do as you wish as available. Look at something like Drupal or even Magento (a shopping cart). It wouldn't do well to try make Wordpress do what is required. -------------------- Luke Dingle . com Turn Over a Playful Leaf on Web Design -- read about the javascript cat

Although Wordpress does let you handle content and static pages, it's purpose is to be a blogging engine. That being said, it is possible to use it as a CMS, just not meant for it. I'd go with Drupal or Joomla or something similar. Stick with the purpose of what a program is made for and you'll have a lot less problems...Just my opinion... -------------------- http://www.infoonmike.com "Always program as if the person who will be maintaining your program is a violent psychopath that knows where you live."

I'm probably going to sound like an ass here but was your opinion really worth bumping a 3 month old thread in the job forum? -------------------- Web Development Blog \| Stanley Web Design
