wouldn't it be easier to create the pages in WordPress first, then insert your custom work into the WordPress files? I don't know – but all of this seems like more work than I'd ever to do to get a website into a CMS that is as clunky as WordPress – not to say there's anything better out there. just my opinion.

However, i am stuck with images and my drop-down menu is not working as required. Can you help man, give us your email address.

I’m wondering, after I’ve converted the template, can I add on other plugins on the website like woo-commercial?

I really love how you don’t have everything scripted out to a tee when going through these tutorials. It makes it so much more realistic and doesn’t create the impression that a developer needs to be perfect and get something 100% accurate immediately.
