So I'm about to convert a site to drupal but have a few concerns.
I've got the template/layout of my site set, so I'll be intergrating that into Drupal and using Drupal to manage the content of each page.
(1)
Say I have a page of content, a news update entry for example, do I have to do all the styling through the WYSIWYG editor? Is it easy to apply different custom CSS classes as desired to each element of that entry?
(2)
Say I have a mini gallery...I have my own ideas on exactly how it'll be coded and displayed, but for teh pool of images..can I just use Drupal to show and manage that pool of photos, but not display them? As in my code will call to the database for which photos to use, but beyond that it'll all my code? But then if the client wanted to edit which photos are in that bunch, there'd be a client-friendly page to do that?
For concern 1, I guess I'm still stuck on how Wordpress handles things in that it uses template tags, so it's easy to put exactly what you want (say a News Item Headline template tag right between your css SPAN tags and format everything so explicitly.
Thanks for the help guys.
