So i wasn’t going to hack wordpress much for this site because at the moment i think i have more interesting projects to be working on. So i was just going to settle for a pre made theme. I liked the look of mono-lab’s piano black theme but decided i didn’t really like the structure i liked the page idea but i wanted a page for each sub category so i could write a spill about each at the top. So i added a custom WP_Query call to get any pages from a category the same as the page title. This doesn’t maintain the post hierarchy so i do that manually by selecting multiple categories.
