Creating Custom Wordpress Themes

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

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. :)
