Starter Kit Structure

I should have posted something like this a few weeks ago, but anyway here’s a chart of the primary templates you’re using for your blog, and the way the includes get pulled in. Remember that there’s no requirement to use PHP includes in this particular way — the code in them could have been inserted directly into their parent templates. It’s just that since the code for “output a post” or “output a link to a post” is the kind of thing you tend to do on multiple templates, it makes sense to consolidate them into the files I’ve called “snippets.”

Finally, you’re of course free to tinker with any and all of the files; this just shows how Starter Kit was structured when you installed it:
