Turning the Default Wordpress Theme into Something Wonderful: Structure
Wp-Theme Structure: Individual Posts, Archives, and Search Results
single.php:
Single.php is the template for displaying an individual (or single) post. It allows you to display different information on a post when a viewer is viewing only that post. It also includes an area for submittinf and displaying comments.
comments.php:
This holds the layout of your comment submission and display elements.
page.php:
Page.php is the template that displays what you create when you write new pages like About, Contact, etc.
archive.php:
Archive.php handles the organization and display of posts when searched by date (month, day, year), category, tag, author, and page. On the top of this file are several conditional statements that modify the subheader text.
search.php:
Search.php handles the organization and display of posts when searched through the searchform. It also includes what displays if no search results are found.
