   I have just recently completed by very own theme, and thought it would be a good idea to share what I've learned with everyone else.

   I'm going to be writing a series of articles on my blog that will cover exactly how to create a theme, and what tags you'll need to know. The articles are being written with the assumption that you know HTML; you just don't know where to put it.

   I posted the first of those articles last night. Last nights article was about how to get started. It covers the style.css, header.php, and footer.php files.

   You can read the article right here: Designing a WordPress Template: The Basics

   I hope you enjoy the articles.

   I like the articles, but have just one suggestion. Can you make the code samples NOT full-justified and maybe use a different colour?

   Well they aren't justified, but the color does kind of blend in. I will change the styling, but I won't be a able to do that for a few hours until I can get some FTP access. As soon as I get some FTP access I will change up the styling.

   emacle, I changed the styling for the code. Is that better?

   wordPress is a blogging system for coders, right? I mean people who have experience in deconstructing code.

   WordPress is a blogging platform for everyone, novices and "coders" alike.

   I have just posted part two of this ongoing article. Part two covers creating a sidebar and has some nice tips for adding plugins and limiting content to specific pages.
