I know you are thinking… you did what? But it’s true. I have reached a milestone in my life. I just created my first ever WordPress theme. I am also very pleased with how it turned out. It took me about 8 hours to complete but most of that time was spent waiting on the trial version of Photoshop CS3 to download and fixing an annoying CSS issue. I am sure there will be some bugs that I need to fix but so far, so good.
I would like to thank Small Potato for his very basic tutorial titled “So you want to create WordPress themes huh?” If you are new to WordPress or just want a fresh, clear view of stepping through a theme then I suggest you start with his tutorial.
I would also like to thank Photoshop CS3 for making my first theme beautiful. I couldnโt have done it without you. Wink.
Next on the agenda:
- Validatation of XHTML & CSS
- Checking design in different browsers with help from IE NetRenderer
- Finding and fixing any bugs
Awesome theme Josh! Proud of you for learning how to do it, graphics and all! Look forward to seeing some more!
Dude, the tint is more red than orange, so it totally looks like blood spatter on my monitor.
However, I do notice the orange more than before.
