Been working with custom WordPress themes lately and stumbled upon Small Potato’s WPDesigner.com site.

Not only does he turn out lots of kick-ass WordPress themes (now under GPL license), he’s created a wonderfully exhaustive tutorial on creating custom WordPress themes.

WordPress.org also has a lot of Theme Development information that I highly recommend. But if you’re starting from scratch, definitely check out Small Potato’s tutorial. He does a great job of explaining each step in the process and the purpose of all of the included code.

Oh, the time I could have saved if I’d found Mr. Potato sooner.
