 * I’m considering putting WordPress on my website as a way of organizing my updates
   on the main page and my layouts (I run a graphics site), on the layout page. 
   Can I do that by installing WordPress once, or, like CuteNews, do I have to install
   it for every single separate folder?

 * I *think * I understand what you mean…
 * You can use WordPress to update your site no problem. The thing that gets me 
   is your “layouts”. I’m assuming – like most designers – you keep a separate subfolder
   for projects (od, new and in the works), and each project is unique in how it
   looks?
 * What I’m questioning is what you mean by “organizing” said projects. In my mind,
   I can see you accmplishing this is several ways. You *could* place WordPress 
   in each separate subfolder – then you would have all kindsof administration options
   for each folder area. but if all of the projects are *yours* (and not so much
   for a client to mess around in) then I think you could do it a couple of ways
   from one install of WordPress.
 * For example, each layout/project/folder could actually just be it’s own “theme”.
   Of course, you can only have your site’s theme in one way – any time you had 
   to go back to a project or start a new one, you’ve have to change the theme for
   the entire site.
 * Or, you could create “skins” for your site – but I don’t know wxactly how efficient
   that would be.
 * Another option would be to separate your layouts into Pages or categories, and
   use “if” statement to display a different look for each one. So, say you had 
   a project on flowers and one on music. You could have a category on Music, and
   a layout that’s music related. Flowers, the same. You can write an entry and 
   place it in the proper caregory (even if the entry is nothing but images) – and
   when you bring up the category for “Flowers”, then all entryies pertaining to
   only that category – and the layout you created for that one category page – 
   would appear. Same with music. (Do you understand what I’m saying?)
 * I’m not sure if that exactly answers your question, though (I’m not sure if I’m
   understanding it correctly) – but hopefully it helps in some way.

 * Oh, I get it ^^. The them for my website, if I install WordPress would all be
   the same, as it would be if I used CuteNews for the same purpose.
 *  My layouts are freeware, and all I need is a way for people to view and download
   them, so WordPress sounds perfect.
 *  Thanks so much!
