i’ve customized my theme cause i couldn’t stand using a generic layout and i really wanted to figure out how it all worked. what i have may not be that visually exciting but i was going for usability and standards this time. i went against everything i’m used to and hardly used any graphics… only the header image. it was a true test of styling and i’m really happy with how it turned out. i work with style sheets every day at work but i’ve never built one from the beginning, just edited existing ones.
i definitely have to give large credit for my newly discovered WordPress theme understanding to the Urban Giraffe’s “Dissection of a WordPress Theme“. His tutorial was very easy to go through and he strips the theme down to the bone first and then builds it up, he doesn’t try to go into all the craziness right away without the basic knowledge that’s required.
i’m sure i’ll still be changing things every day, but i feel like i have a good foundation for now and i won’t be ashamed to share the URL with people. we shall see…
