How to Add Magazine-Style Home Page to Twenrtyten?

  • Is it possible to add a WP-based magazine-style home page to the Twentyten theme?

    I’ve created a home page before for another theme — I built that in Dreamweaver. While it was successful, it was also a bit of a pain updating it everyday in Dreamweaver. It would be much more convenient if I could do the updates from within WP, including through the WP iPhone app.

    Any thoughts, suggestions?

  • create a home.php (copy of index.php);
    either remove the get_template_part() line and build your own loops and everything inside of home.php;
    or change to `get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘home’ ) and make a loop-home.php.
    build your loops there.

    if you are comfortable with html (sounds like it, as you are mentioning dreamweaver), build a html structure first (start with a copy of the html in the browser (of you front page for instance); that way you have the design as you like it; then fill it with wordpress template tags.
    if you need help at that point, come back here.

    Ah, the dreaded loops! I was hoping to be able to avoid having to jump through those.

    Yes, I’m comfortable with html and css. I just don’t speak loops. Guess it’s time to learn the language. Any suggestions for a painless way to get up to speed with them?
