Re: Skeletons in the closet.
Sorry that is giving you so much trouble, I can tell you are irritated.
Wish I could help but I do not do web or know anything about it.
Re: Skeletons in the closet.
Short answer is no. However you may be able to use some of the assets in Xara. Look inside the template folder. It should contain various html files such as index.html etc. You can drag these from the Windows Explorer onto the Xara title bar and it will export the assets, but not in any order. There may also be an images folder, containg the used images.
Let's know how you got on.
Re: Skeletons in the closet.
wordpress is a wonderful program for personal sites of the blogging kind, which is what it is meant for - there are hundreds of templates and plugins around, but you need to know where to look; even the free ones can be fairly flexible, eg inkblot which comes with goggle font capability for example
but if you want to customise you need to use a child theme - don't customise the main theme - and use the tools for this WP provides when inserting php and css coding into said child php and css files
and if you don't want a blogging/comic/sequential-post type web site, then yes, maybe it's just not the tool for the job... [as opposed to , say, 'crap' ;)]
be interesting to know which templates you are referring to
oh and you can easily do proper responsive sites in wordpress - not so xara I believe [egg will correct me if I'm wrong :)]
it's because I don't build websites that I like wordpress because for what I need I don't have to; just choose some menu options and suitable plugins
Re: Skeletons in the closet.
Hello Iggy, in your WordPress travels did you see a program called "TemplateToaster"? You can create responsive templates from scratch for any of the major CMSs. Although not as good as Xara WD you don't have to code and gives you a lot more design freedom. Just a thought.
