Basically, what I’m trying to do is make a home page, with other pages, but all these pages having the same template.
Home Page: Navigation bar, Blog feed, Facebook & twitter feeds.
About Us Page: Navigation bar, about us body
I’m a complete beginner, I don’t know almost anything about PHP.
Here’s a ‘sketch’ of what I want the home page/template for all the pages to be. All pages will have the same template except for the forums: http://sapphire.t15.org/files/sketch.png
not really all that hard really. Makes things really easy to maintain. the code below is for a small admin area for a site i maintain (feel free to join though if you’re a music artist or need an app)
