Learning about Templates

I had perfected my templates for use with my old blogspot account. Now with WordPress, templates have changed. Perhaps they are for the better. I am able to put PHP code into my templates. Actually, they depend on it. The setup is a little awkward as they only permit one sidebar.

I have been using two sidebars for a long time. It is a little tricky to do it without tables, but I have been successful. I’ll have to rethink how I am going to setup my templates. I have been thinking about scrapping them all together and do something new.

I would like to have a cartoon variation of me on the blog. I need to study myself a bit and figure out how the cartoon should appear. Maybe I should pose as a super hero, a programmer, or just an ordinary guy. There are plenty of ideas, but I need more.

    There are some templates that use two sidebars. Check this out: http://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/theme_browser.php

    Ok, I’m slapping my head on this one. My templates from blogspot already supported having the two sidebars defined after the content. For some reason I was thinking that I had to setup the left sidebar before I displayed the content. I have to remember that I’m not working with tables anymore.

    That link is pretty cool though. I like some of the templates over there. Thanks!
