What you really want to learn, however, is how the Wordpress template system works. This knowledge will carry you further when it comes to installing Wordpress in your own designs. Be prepared to learn a little PHP in the process. http://codex.wordpress.org/Templates Hey Alden, Without knowing the specifics of your HTML experience it’s probably easier to find a theme that’s close to what you like and then tweak it to meet your needs.

I need to present a vast amount of content in a format with functionality similar to the ref. site. I need all of typical features (user login, advance site search, advertising space, multiple pages etc) but what need most is the calendar which I found a very nice WP widget for. My question is, should I build from the ground up and embed WP in the site or begin with a WP theme and tweak it to look like the site I need? My experience is limited to Dreamweaver/HTML/Flash. My concern is running into a dead end with a theme either with design or functionality. Much thanks for your thoughts in advance.
