So what do you guys think I should do?

Sorry I should have stated that I was using the post teaser plugin.

Thanks moshu,
Out of curiosity, can you or xyth recommend a primer php programming page I might look at to get started with programing?

Thanks, I am going to ponder for a while then take action. Later!

So Xyth, if I want to have the updated homepage I use opt-in, I understand that. Do I use opt-in in conjunction with the static page maker? or just opt in by itself? See, from what I read above, I gather that I need to copy my index.php file into the home.php file that I created. What I think your static page does is make wordpress look for the home.php file instead of the index.php file in the theme directory. If I am correct in assuming this then I think I need to use the opt-in plugin in conjunction with the static page maker. I hope I am not confusing anyone or myself more. This would explain why I got a blank wordpress after activating static page maker. I never copied any code into the home.php file, I just left it with 0 bytes. I thought the plugin would create the file with all the neccesary code in it.

Xyth,

I want the same header as wordpress and navigation links on the right side, with the body showing one (the most recent update) entry in that area. That is pretty much what I want, not to much more. Maybe have a couple of thumbnails pointing to the gallery. I want WordPress and my static homepage to have the same look though, that is why I was thinking that the semiologic plugin would help me. As you have probably gathered, I am so new to .php and MySQL that I wouldn’t know how to code anything if it bit me in the arse. So I guess I am looking for code examples and plugins that will help me code as much as possible. I still need you to tell me step by step how the static page maker plugin works, I am baffled by the exact steps needed to get the code into the home.php file that I created with nothing in it. Thanks, again!

Thanks Podz!

You know I just thought of something. Is there a plugin that will automate the process of putting in all the seperate entries at once if I have a text file or something. Maybe everytime there is a Date/Time in the text a new entry can be made and imported automatically? Just thinking out loud here.
