Designing a WordPress Theme (2.7)

Posted by The Artist on Tuesday, 13 January, 2009

Welcome viewers.

If you are like me, you’ve scoured the web for more information in a more concise and basic form. The WordPress Codex is great, but huge and bulky. Buying the next “how to” book may only leave you behind as the CMS upgrades over time.

So what I offer here is the most up to date listing of information, tutorials, links, reviews and pointers to try and help you along in your designing needs. WordPress may seem daunting, with all of it’s php code and not-quite stero-like instructions. But once it is broken down, yuo are good to go.

There are two paths that diverge from here. Basic Theme editing and more Advanced Theme editing. Basic Theme editing uses WordPress’ general settings, and some plugins. A slightly more techincal (Intermediate) aspect of Basic Theme editingĀ  is using the WordPress internal editor and some knowledge of either php code or WordPress’s Template Tags. The Advanced Theme-styling requires a bit more boldness as you either convert a current theme to fit your needs by editing the php code, css files, and the templae tags, OR you start from scratch, using other themes as your reference point.

Choose your preference!

  • Basic Theme Styling.
  • Intermediate Theme Styling
  • Advanced Theme styling I
  • Advanced Theme styling II
