L&L is powerful enough to build entire site themes, but we’ll start by looking at a basic template example to get familiar with the fundamentals. A template is the custom post type associated with Loops & Logic. Any L&L markup you write, including the code in the example below, will need to be added inside a template.

Now that you’ve seen a few dynamic tags in action, you might want to start tinkering with L&L templates on your own and learning about all the other dynamic tags available to you in the template editor. Experimentation is our favorite way to learn, but there’s one more thing to understand first: how to load an L&L template onto a page.
