Is there any place to find tuts on theme building?
I’d love to replicate the look of something like the following site for a few friends who want book sites.
It kinda looks simple – separate header image, hover menu, two columns … but I have no idea where to begin to try and create my own version. I’m not looking to build any fancy functions into it, just want to keep it clean and direct. Book image, background, menu. That’s it. In fact, I can never find a simple enough theme for what I need.
Which is why I suppose I will have to build it myself… unfortunately this won’t work because I’m an idiot!! :)
Letting new users know about Firebug is a great idea. There must be some video tuts already out there so a link to that would possibly help people first up.
The installation of WP is always going to be an issue. New users are going to always be a pain at first but the idea is to educate everyone without discrimination as the natural uptake of a platform like WP will allow it to continually grow.
I am aware that offering support is always a hard ask in this day and age for developers but forums such as this should be recognised as sales tools, education depositories and community environments. (Note to Kriesi: I’d be okay if you placed affiliate links back to TF or any other company).
Also … and I know a lot of people are very protective about their customisations, but I’d love to see a showcase of people’s sites solely based on Kriesi’s themes.
My 2cents.
