I’m trying to set up a clean url structure like:
site.com/category/sub-category/
Which is effortless in wordpress, however just doesn’t want to work in ee off the bat. I have to resort to mysql queries and logical bits of code like the one below just don’t work.

category="{if "{segment_2}"}{segment_2}{if:else}{segment_1}{/if}"

I miss wordpress.

So instead of using any other templates, I thought I might just create my design on top of the wordpress default, I’ve never done this, always used sandbox, so modding the wordpress default theme will be fun.

I’ll start by inserting 960.gs (if you’ve used it, you wouldn’t ask why.) and then will strip the css of the default theme and will start injecting my styles, going to go for something simple, clean white background, we’ll see where this ends up.
