- stokestack, on 09/29/2008, -0/+17Does anyone else think that these comments are incredibly spammy?
"I love this post"? What a crock. - kailoon, on 09/29/2008, -0/+13Thanks guys. I knew my writing is bad. I am trying to improve on that...By the way, bad or good comments are welcome :)
I hope this tutorial can contribute a little in the wordpress community. If there is anything you don't understand or the writing really s**k. Just let me know, I will try my best to answer it for you.
Thanks!
kailoon - ventsi, on 09/28/2008, -4/+13awesome
good tutorial very well explained - RickyTheRiot, on 09/29/2008, -2/+8Decent tutorial, well laid out and never technical for the sake of it, however I would add one thing..
"How To Create WordPress Themes From Scratch" ..should be.. "How To Create My WordPress Theme From Scratch"
As it covers only how to create the one the author wants, rather than an all round general purpose site to explain how you can make your own one.
There is no shame in that btw, it's a clear concise (and more importantly) one pager that will help a lot of people.
Dugg. - mattlohkamp, on 09/29/2008, -2/+8What? This is way too structured. You shouldn't be giving actual pixel dimensions in a skinning tutorial - WordPress can output content and navigation any way you want. All you've got to do is pop open the php files, figure out which functions call what data, move them to where you want them, and wrap 'em in your preferred markup. This article should be called "how I created a wordpress skin from scratch", as opposed to the generalized "how to create _a_ wordpress skin".
And on that note - what's up with the writing? "Place in an RSS icon. I forgot the site I download this icon… Then, For the search area, create a rounded rectangle. Still, it maximum width will be 330px." This person needs an editor badly. - McDyess1, on 09/28/2008, -4/+9One of the best tutorials I've seen on the subject.
- clickfire, on 09/28/2008, -2/+7Nice. Would like to see an author page in there.
- LizNovack, on 09/29/2008, -0/+4good tutorial, but still no shortcut for good design and css
- sloppychris, on 09/29/2008, -1/+5Here's a better tutorial:

I know how to code wordpress themes, so I can say that I wish this was around when I got started. - jemka, on 09/29/2008, -0/+2I agree with your comment you have made about the article.
- emoscene, on 09/29/2008, -0/+2Decent quality tutorial, but a bit more generic theme tutorial would be good.
- monkiboi, on 09/29/2008, -0/+2I love this comment!
- oleeid, on 09/29/2008, -0/+1This is just another thing I wanna get done but can't find the time to finish.
- theadvinci, on 09/30/2008, -0/+1Not bad...
- CrushThemTorg, on 09/29/2008, -0/+1If you want a bit of a framework and an awesome amount of customization (most of it with CSS), check out Sandbox http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/
It's kinda ugly until you read the manual. Then it's perhaps the most beautiful thing you've ever seen Wordpress do. - JackpotCity, on 09/29/2008, -0/+1Sweet, just what I need to dust off the rusty code/design skills and build a unique template for my blog. The problem with knowing what it is you want is always the realization that it will only happen if you build it yourself.
- saymawa, on 09/29/2008, -0/+1google is your friend

- thewrenchpilot, on 09/29/2008, -0/+1Great tutorial, I wish I would have found this a few months ago! ;-)
- NuWeb, on 09/29/2008, -0/+1Damn thing off-line..
MIRROR? .. - inactive, on 09/29/2008, -1/+2Don't worry about it, no-body cares about your blog anyway
- inactive, on 09/29/2008, -0/+1A real man would pick a theme of his liking and then personalize it.
- Mokuton, on 09/29/2008, -0/+1I can't access the site. I was looking for something like this but for Joomla and PHPBB3 templates as well. I like the link that "sloppychris" provided.
- kishosingh, on 09/29/2008, -1/+1How can we do widgets structure? Some wordpress template don't provide features to change image also.
- mstachiw, on 09/29/2008, -1/+1i was looking for some information on this just last week. a good detailed tutorial like this is a lot rarer than i thought. thanks for this great tutorial. tutorial almost seems to underestimate this article... ill be using more as a guideline for all my future wordpress sites.

- ianpurton, on 10/03/2008, -0/+0I have a sanbox (i.e. naked) theme that I wrote here http://ianpurton.com/seo-wordpress-sandbox-theme/ It's been seo'd and I've used the Yahoo YUI CSS library which means you get a base framework which you can then enhance with CSS alone.
- Cometh, on 09/30/2008, -0/+0Well, kudos for the effort... =)
- sofakinggosu, on 09/30/2008, -0/+0Am I the only person who does not understand any of the written content? How am I supposed to learn anything from this tutorial?
- sexywp, on 03/01/2009, -0/+0Fantatic!!
- sloppychris, on 09/29/2008, -2/+1It was actually rather poorly explained. And I'm not talking about the grammar.
- NinjaJedi, on 09/29/2008, -3/+1Thats a really handy tutorial....
