Been Wondering, Blogs/Forums & Soho Templates

[DeesDogCare]

I am very new to this, so please forgive my ignorance. I have set my site up using an appropriate Soho template. I will want to add blogs and forums to my site in the future ---- will my Soho template carry over to these when I add them or did I goof in a major way by setting the main part of the site up under the template?

Also, if they will carry over into my blogs & forums, will I need to do anything special when I install the appropriate managers for my blogs & forums? :hmm:

Since both blog and forum are independent software products, they will operate outside of soho. Here are some points for you to consider:

1. Install them in their own folder within public_html.
2. Soho allows you to link to them directly on the menu system, but once the visitor goes there, he/she is not in soho any longer.
3. You can preseve soho template by using iframe, which presents some challenge in terms of formatting.
4. Alternatively, you can make blog or forum template look similar to soho to achieve some sort of consistent look and feel.
5. Either product will come with its own management process independent from each other and soho.
