I'll have a look at Joomla this week.

[Admiral Huddy]

I'm still looking at Joomla but for the moment, I'm not giving up on WordPress.

I have set up a test web page to query the Wordpress DB and show posts on an external page, using this advice:

http://www.corvidworks.com/articles/wordpress-content-on-other-pages


And that works

However, I want to show other information, such as the image, comments, full post, date added, author, etc. Basically, what options are there?

[Admiral Huddy]

I've installed Joomla:

Doesn't look too bad.. I'm having trouble finding some decernt templates though.. and I can't install the ones I do have.

Def on the right track.

Ooh, I like that layout, though I'm guessing it's the default?

[Admiral Huddy]

It is, and I've turned off a lot of features.. I've sussed out how it all works but need a decent template before I continue..

I've been searching all morning for a dark one that I can upload..

Huddy add me to MSN I have about 50-60 Templates you can have if you want.

Edit. Have a look at This one let me know what you think

[Admiral Huddy]

I will

If you fancy having a go at mine yourself

Edit - I've managed to add my banner and changed the CSS to the correct height..

I have a few questions... In the following CSS

Where is that transparant blue banner..

Where is the "change font size"?

What colour code is black?

#ja-headerwrap {

I take it your using Joomla v 1.5.x ?

Where is the blue banner ?

In terms of font size, if you goto Extensions > Template Manager > Edit Theme there should be an option in most Joomla 1.5 templates to change the font size from the control panel without having to manually chop the code. However most of the code that drives the template will be in template.css
