Thanks carl. I will check it out.

Thanks yellowled.

three things for a "normal"-look-like website:

1) use static-pages
2) use the static-pages-sidebar for the site-structure
3) use one static-page as startpage.

Thanks for the pointers, is there a plugin for creating the static pages ? I tried looking in the plugins section, didn't find any :(

Is there a free / gpl version of any template which can make s9y look like a commercial site ?
You might want to take a look at Carl Galloway's smallbiz01 template.

Also, you'll probably want to search this forum for hints on how to deactivate blog-specific features like trackbacks etc.

Hi Don,

Thanks for the quick response.

I took a look at Dave's work, however what i see there is all blog templates. Is there a free / gpl version of any template which can make s9y look like a commercial site ?

Hey Guys,

I just happen to find out about serendipity, have to say looks real nice.

I see it can be used as a cms as well, however once i installed it, the site looks more like a blog. Can someone please direct me on how to get it to use like a cms for a client website ?
