# Adding more content

 * I am trying to add some images and content (such as a blogroll) to my blog. With
   MT it was easy, just edit the main template. I assume I am doing the same thing
   with the index.php file.
 * The problem is, I have never dealt with php. Can I use simple HTML within a php
   document? Does anyone have any links that would assist me?
 * Thanks,
 * Tim

 * Hey treap,
 * You can use html in a php page. The php lines are within ‘<?php’ and ‘?>’. Or‘
   <?’ and ‘?>’. So you can close the php code and put in your html (and reopen 
   afterwards), or just include your htlm where there’s already place for html.
 * edit: it’s safest to begin with looking at the existing htlm and put yours in
   there. Normally there should already be html where you would put you own html
   code.

 * Slightly different answer: yes, you can put HTML in your PHP file. But don’t 
   forget that there’s also a .CSS file, which (in the standard configuration) controls
   how and where your content gets displayed. You could put your images in either
   place. CSS can seem a little esoteric at first (I’m actually less comfortable
   with it than I am with PHP) but it’s very logical once you understand the structure.
 * As for your blogroll, WordPress comes with a fairly sophisticated link manager.
   Have you tried that to see if it serves your purposes?

 * I have edited the default CSS and edited pictures, picture sizes, colors etc 
   etc..
 * I will try my hand at the index.php file. I have already backed it up in case
   I do something wrong.
 * Thanks for the help guys! I appreciate it!

 * I recently installed B2. When I try to edit anything such as deleting/adding 
   links or deleting messsages. It does not do so and gives me the error.
 * Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers, for this feature to work.
 * Please advice. I looked in the docs. It is not explained anywhere.
