Where is the Tutorial

Hello All,
I know I should use the search first, but I was at a loss as to what would be the appropriate search phrase.
What I would like to get is that someone on this board had written a tutorial that showed how to use your WP as a CMS, by renaming the index.php files to the categories that you want and some other “fancy footworks”, but I can’t remember where I saw it our who did it.
I know it was on a website that had some nice curly “leaves” as the post separators, and it was is white and burgundy (I thinkg theme).
This person has written some plugins for WP as well and I do believe they are well know (well not to me ’cause I can’t remember :)).
The tutorial, I believe was in two parts.
Can anyone help me out.
