[ale] question about wordpress theme.

[Chuck Payne]

Guys,

I know this might be off topic, but I found a really cool theme, but
I am having issues getting it to work.  I was hoping someone could
help me see the light.

The theme I am wanting to use is
http://www.wp-magazine.se/free-theme-wp-pixels/

Here is where I am lost


3. Create your categories and change accordingly in the index.php file.

Does this mean I need to create categories to match the index page, or
do I need to change the feild on the page. Here is a sample of one of
the box that nothing showing up, but I don't know what to change.

------Code Begins Here-------

<div class="my_left_box">
    <h2 class="headline">Pup's Latest <font color="#992317">Web News</font></h2>
        <?php query_posts('category_name=WebNews&showposts=3&offset=0');
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
        <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"
title="Permanent link to [<?php the_title(); ?>]"><img src="<?php
bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/featured/<?php
// this is where the custom field prints images for each Feature
        $values = get_post_custom_values("Small"); echo $values[0];
?>" alt="Copyright: opensuse.terrorpup.net" style="border: #3d3d3d 4px
solid; padding: 1px; margin: 0px 10px 15px 15px;" align="left" />
        <?php
// this is where title of the Feature gets printed
          the_title(); ?> &raquo;</a>
          <p>
          <small>Posted <?php the_date_xml(); ?> by <?php
the_author_posts_link(); ?></small>
          <p>
          <small><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments &#187;', '1
Comment &#187;', '% Comments &#187;'); ?></small>
          <p>
         <div id="separatorhl"></div>
  <?php endwhile; ?>
<p>
</div>

4. Create a page for your normal blog and choose the Blog template.

This one makes no sense to me.

---- Please read and explain to me what he is trying to say----
Using Custom Fields

For the page loop images on all pages uses Custom Fields. The key for
the large image must be set to “Image” (without the citation
characters and with a capital “I”) and the value is simply the name of
your image.

Like this: Key: Image and Value: name-of-image.jpg.

For the smaller images the key is “Small”.

The pictures should be uploaded to the folder “featured” in the WP
Pixels template folder. If you want your images elsewhere you need to
change the paths in each of the instances that call for the images in
the file structure. Find this:
