I'm not sure this has been covered, as I'm having a really rough time searching for it.

Is there an easy way to make a simple single-page template from the main index.php file?

Thanks!

The short answer is 'no'. The options Atahualpa uses are stored in your MySQL database. these in turn are used to generate the pages viewed. All the pages viewed using Atahualpa, are styled via the theme options.

Actually, now that I'm digging a little more...there is.

I saw this thread:

All you have to do is copy the index file, rename it, and add the template code to it.

<?php
/*
Template Name: Random
*/
?>
<?php

Sweet!
