Hello WordPress & Coppermine!

So after hunting the net,magazines and elsewhere I came across this fabulous database known as WORDPRESS [from Practical webdesign magazine]. Wordpress main use is for blogs or as I like to call them updates for your website whether its for business or pleasure. The decision to install word press came from the fact that I need something fast and efficient to update my website without the hassel of re-desining my pages evertime I had new material to upload. In addition I installed another database, Coppermine gallery which is the cutting edge in image gallery display. This database works like Wordpress. Once you set the page layout you can upload all your images without worrying about the layout.
Now the challenge is to create the layout of my website. WordPress and Coppermine use a combination of CSS,HTML and php. I'll practice by adjusting the themes provided by both. Let see what happens.
