 * Hello, I am relatively new to WordPress and want to design my own themes. I know
   HTML and CSS but I am quit “nooby” when it comes to PHP. I noticed while designing
   a theme for WordPress that it is as simple as creating a static page (using HTML
   and CSS) then using lines of PHP to replace the content of your page.
 * For example if I created a website in static HTML and CSS and replaced the text
   of the body of the page with the line:
 *     ```
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
       	<h3 class="storytitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
       	<div class="storycontent">
       		<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
       	</div>
       	<div class="feedback">
       		<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
       		<?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
       	</div>
       </div>
       <?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>
       <?php endwhile; else: ?>
       <?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * Then the content of my static web page would be filled with the blog posts that
   I created within the WordPress Administration panel.
 * My question is:
 * > What other lines of PHP can I use, can some one give me a complete list of 
   > PHP code that is avaliable? Does WordPress have a document that contains all
   > of these PHP lines and their use?
 * Here are some more examples of what I am talking about and what I THINK they 
   are their use:
 * `<?php wp_register(); ?>`
 * > -> Shows link to register page
 * `<?php wp_loginout(); ?>`
 * > -> Shows link to Log In and Log Out
 * `<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=' . __('')); ?>`
 * > -> Lists all pages (I don’t know what `'title_li=' . __('')` does)
 * `<?php get_footer(); ?>`
 * > -> Gets code from footer.php
 * `<?php get_header(); ?>`
 * > -> Gets code from header
 * `<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>`
 * > -> Gets the type of HTML file (I don’t know what types there are)
 * `<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>`
 * > -> Gets the character set (I don’t think this is necessary but just extra info,
   > am I right?)
 * `<?php wp_title('-', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>`
 * > -> Gets the title of your blog (I don’t know what `'-', true, 'right'` means
   > or what `'name'` does)
 * `<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>`
 * > -> Gets the path to your stylesheet and inserts it into the head
