In reply to Steve Kinney.

Glad to help Steve,

In truth you don't really need to know WordPrss tags and functions. You could rewrite the CSS file in any theme and have a new theme.

However, usually you do want to do more. You can probably get by well even knowing just a few tags and functions. The tags and functions make it so you don't need to know how to program in PHP.

You do have to learn them, but they are pretty easy to use.

Of course Suckerfish still works too.
