Video Downloads
In these 12 videos, we take someone with only beginners HTML and CSS skills, through the steps needed to build a WordPress template from scratch. The videos use a collection of freely downloadable tools that are available on Windows and Mac.
The goal of this set is to focus on the different files used in a functional WordPress template and how they all work together to build a unified design that is extensible and driven as much as possible from the WordPress blogging framework.
Included in this set is the construction of a dynamic top-level navigation, a widget-friendly sidebar, a customized search form and a specially-designed home page.
It is assumed that the viewer understands HTML and a bit of CSS. A basic understanding of PHP is helpful, but not required.
While its best to follow along and write the code, the project files are still included in this video - for those lazy folks out there!
