Integrating Get Simple template design into PunBB and WordPress

[phpsns]

I am using GS as my main CMS for my sites, but looking forward to add blog and forum into it. I see that you are using PunBB and WordPress in this site and the design looks seamless.

My question is, did you have to adapt the same GS template design into PunBB and WordPress native templates? By your experience, what's the easiest way to do this, specially for WordPress? Any tips?

Although WordPress can be used as main CMS, it was never intuitive for me and it's slower than GS Simple, so I only want to use it as what it does best as blog/news.


Thanks!

Thanks! Seamless is what i was going for.

What I did was created a "global" hard-coded meta, header and footer include files. I then used include(); to include them into the respective templates.

I then used jQuery to highlight the correct navigation item if I couldn't do it with PHP (View Source)
