website structure

  • Okay, full disclosure: my web development experience is pretty much straight HTML/CSS… and nothing particularly fancy. Which is why I decided to build my new website using blogging software.

    Trouble is, I’m not sure how to create the structure. For instance, every time I create a new page it’s linked from the top, and you can see it from every other page. How do I create pages that are only linked from pages of my choosing?

  • Hi 2handband,

    First off, I’m not really sure what you mean by “pages being linked from the top”, but I think I can help you understand more about the WordPress structure.

    WordPress works with themes, which basically contain the entire structure for your website. Besides providing HTML/CSS functionality, a theme contains all PHP formatting for posts, categories, comments, etc. You should check out the Themes Page on the WordPress Codex and, looking at your coding experience, eventually start creating your own. You could start building from scratch or use a fully functional, but layout-lacking blank theme (here, for example).

    Sooo… The tools I need to create a site layout are within the themes?

    To clarify, can you rephrase what you need help with?

    What I want is to create a tree-style site layout. I want the home page to link to a handful of other pages, each of which will link to others that are not linked from the homepage. I can’t see how to do that.

    Solved it… I installed Advanced Page Manager.
