    Hi,
    I am creating a blog with WordPress. The blog has completely different layout from static page’s. Meaning that even the header and footer are different.
    Therefore I moved the header and footer code into page.php, and remove <?php get_header(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?>.
    Until here everything works fine …. except …. in the <div class=”entry”> where the text of the post should be shown, only the 1st character of the 1st word is shown.
    When I roll back and use <?php get_header(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?> the text of the post is showing fine.
    What am I missing??????

    Try this approach. Take the header and footer code out of page.php. Change header.php to 

    <?php
if ( is_home() ) {  // blog page
  include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/header_blog.php');
} else {
  include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/header_static.php');
}
?>

    Create the two files header_blog.php and header_static.php. Put the appropriate header code in each file.

    Use the same technique for footer.php
