I have created a WordPress theme, which is live right now on this site. Previously I’ve always used pre-existing themes and modified them to my liking, but I finally decided to make my own from scratch.
To make this theme, I first designed the layout with Dreamweaver and Photoshop. I then installed Apache and MySQL on my machine, in order to have a local install of WordPress to work with. It was much easier than I expected, though still not quite as easy as making a Textpattern template (I’ve made several textpattern templates in the past, and it’s a dream to customize).
There are probably still problems with it that I haven’t caught, and I’m still tweaking everything. If you see any problems, please comment or contact me.
Nice theme – a bit somber and dark but well put together. I like the graphic behind post titles.
