    I guess I´m curious to exactly what Fantastico does.
    How come it manages to indirectly take away my manual control of the website?

    In that I mean, Fantastico does not tell me that I can´t edit the local files myself, and that it must do it for me. But that is exactly what happens when I touch the installation outside of Fantastico. Server errors, 404s, messages of broken installations, that urges me to reinstall wordpress all over again…

    Since always. I´ve never been able to go outside of Fantastico.
    I started with trying to manually install WordPress, but that never worked one hundred percent.

    If I try to upload these base files manually, as you suggest, the installation somehow messes up. And my site is no longer vieweable.

    I cant explain the reason or anything, but my experience with this alone is enough to stay away from doing this manually. I do everything in Fantastico now, and I think that works fine, except for being slow.

    So if you could do anything, is make Fantastico up to date faster. Lazy bums they are.

    Thats another problem Ipstenu.
    The built in upgrade tool does not work when WordPress is installed with Fantastico.

    I´ve tried several times and given that up for good now.

    Also worth noting that the F8 Lite theme does not have a sidebar. So this needs to be made from scratch.

    I´m gonna solve this by recreating my website based on Mystique. An absolutely kickass theme that has all I need.

    But how can I add a sidebar to this home.php for GraphPaperPress´F8 Lite theme, which has no sidebar at all:

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    
    <?php $i = 0; ?>
    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); $i++; ?>
    <div class="span-8 post-<?php the_ID(); ?><?php if ($i == 3) { ?> last<?php  } ?>">
    <h6 class="archive-header"><a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h6>
    <?php get_the_image( array( 'custom_key' => array( 'thumbnail' ), 'default_size' => 'thumbnail', 'width' => '310', 'height' => '150' ) ); ?>
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    <p class="postmetadata"><?php the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ); ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
    </div>
    <?php if ($i == 3) { ?><div class="archive-stack clear"></div><?php $i = 0; } ?>
    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
    
    <div class="clear"></div>
    
    <div class="navigation clearfix">
    	<div><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
    	<div><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
    </div>
    
    <?php get_template_part( 'bottom' ); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Interesting, I think I might do what you say and remove the call of the sidebar. I´ve done things like that before.

    Removing and rearranging PHP code is not a problem, but writing it is.

    Does it work the other way around too? Because I have a theme called F8 Lite, and would like to ADD a sidebar to that in the posts field..?

    I dont see any such attribute. And I don´t understand your post keesiemeijer.
    I have three quite great themes, F8-lite, Mystique, and Anvil. None of them has a full width option.

    Edit: Sorry, Mystique has it, but if I don´t use this theme, I´m gonna have to create the page template myself. Is that easy?

    So you´re saying if I add that, everything will be okay?

    The problem I have is when pressing Enter, to create a new paragraph, it does not register with WordPress
