I probably could integrate my category pages onto WP, but it just seemed to make sense to leave them as they were (due to the page extension problem) and so far this seems to work just fine, although there are a couple of minor glitches that I had to work around till I get to fixing them. I did have to play around with the WP css files to get it to look the same, but that wasn't too hard, I learned as I went. The best thing I did was to install a local server on my PC so I could test everything out before going live.

I really like being able to update the main page so easily, which is why I wanted to use WP in the first place.

If you need any help, let me know maybe I can point you in the right direction

Cool, you've got one of the more innovative sites I've seen. You should probably trademark the name "blinklist" ...seriously.

Thing is, I want to be able to drop in my newest freesites, or premium sites in a sidebar widget which has php code which gets the info from the database. That's how I have it set up now, but ran into problems with Wordpress. They are looking into why it doesn't work...hopefully I'll get it set up soon. I too plan to leave all my category pages static, but I want the links to them in a sidebar widget named "categories".

Here's what I'm working on now...all f'd up but you can see how what I'm aiming for.

Wordpress just offers so much more in terms of moving stuff around and updating, like you say...and that's where I want to be. And if you get tired of looking at it, just drop in a new theme and presto, lovely new website. Also, it's cool to make post in the blog, maybe introduce a new sponsor, etc, etc. Such an easy way to add new stuff to a site. I already have my site on an "index.php" page, so my link trades should be fine.

I would be interested in knowing what you're using for a local server. Right now I'm doing the edit-upload-refresh routine.
