Design a Wordpress 2.7 Theme

Ok so I’m a fan of tutorials that show you step by step as to how to accomplish something. One of my favourites, and one that has helped me in my quest in becoming a Web Designer is WPDesigners.com’s – So you want to create WordPress themes huh?. It was so detailed and informative, but sadly that was 2007, and now it’s time for a refresh.

Seeing as he doesn’t seem to be doing so, I thought I might give it a shot. This is an extremely ambitious series of posts, as this is a fairly new blog, from a fairly new blogger/web designer. So please, don’t treat my words as gospel, and always strive for improvement. I shall be doing these posts every two -three days so please stick around. If you have any trouble you can find me here
