Hi All.

I know this may seem stupid but I'm getting a bit desperate so please ......

I'm experimenting with WP as a CMS and I'm trying to avoid having a static site and a separate blog but I've run into a couple of issues:-

On static pages I don't want the blog stuff , edit, archives, categories to appear but I do want them on the blog pages.

How can this be achieved?

Is there a theme that does this?

If I use static pages separate from WP and just link out from WP I loose WP as the CMS for the static portion of the site and I don't want that.


​

Many Thanks aamcle

Still thinking about this, can I have two instances of WP? Eg one in httpdocs and one in httpdocs/blog?
One as a CMS on the static part and the other running a blog.

looks like I could do that but it's nasty and clumsy, I really want one theme on the static and another on the blog.....

WHAT IS CMS.. I just have a static website and link everything to it from my blog... maybe I'm doing something wrong... I'm not sure if that's good or bad
