   (Thematic 0.9.5.1 on WP 2.8.4)

   Hi all,

   I'm trying to build a blog-CMS hybrid and I could really use some help. Here's what I'm shooting for:

   -HOME (static home page)

   -PROJECTS (page listing projects on the site)
   --Project A (static page featuring images and text)
   --Project B (same again)
   --Project C (looks like a blog - posts in 'projectc' category only.)
   --Project D (same again)

   -BLOG (looks like a blog, posts in the 'blog' category only)

   -NEWS (looks like a blog, posts in the 'blog' category only)

   Each of the blog-like sections should have their own RSS feeds. There should NOT be an over-arching RSS feed that slurps up every post on the site. I want that to be impossible.

   I also want there to be posts that I can link to that the visitor can't place in the site structure - i.e. not in a category, no 'next' or 'previous' links. I'm not sure how to do this. Maybe a category with a specific template attached to it? I don't know. I'm using just the post-id as permalinks (e.g. website.com/39) because I want it to be very easy to link to posts, almost no typing required.

   I'm a total beginner and I'm beginning to regret ever starting this site. Any help would be appreciated, including recommendations for someone I can pay to do this for me and an idea how much that might cost.

   Thanks a lot Gene - that's very helpful.

   Unfortunately that thread is far, far to advanced for me. I think I'll have to get some help on this, or even abandon wordpress altogether and look for something more WYSIWYG. I just can't afford the time for learning this right now - it's more complex than the projects I'm wanting to put online!

   Maybe I'm being simple-minded about this, but I can't believe how difficult it still is to put together a functional website. It's years since I last tried and I sort of assumed my days of copying code into text editors were history.

   Thanks again.

   I hear you on affording the time to learn. Hopefully you can find a reasonable solution that falls within your requirements. However it works out for you on this project, don't give up on WordPress and/or Thematic just yet. Things are always changing for the better around here.

   Good luck- Gene

   Hi,

   are you looking for someone who does the design and the functionality or is it just the functionality you're looking for?

   I like the thematic design - I don't need a logo or redesign or anything like that. I just need the damn thing to work the way I want it to. I can worry about next year when time pressures ease off and budget increases.

   I suppose the only thing that would need some work is the image-handling. For example, does thematic put a border or caption around images? I don't want any of that rubbish. But then that's just stripping off design rather than putting more on anyway.
